"In my 30+ years of being a homeowner, I've hired 6-8 different painters. Now Premier Painting Group will be the only painter I hire. Cesar's crew is amazing. They are very meticulous and careful. Covered all my furniture and cabinets with either cloth or plastic. Covered the hardwood floors as well. They go above and beyond every time and their prices are excellent. They recently finished my 3 job with them and I couldn't be happier with the results. Wish I could give them 10 stars!!!"

My wife and I have used World Painting several times over the last four years in two different houses.  The most recent project was a complete makeover of the outside of our home.  We consulted with the World Painting staff on the design (two tones) and the proper colors to use.  We are very happy with the outcomes; both the appearance and the quality of workmanship.

I've lived in Litchfield since attending college at LLCC and I wanted to start this company because there was such a need for one in my own life, between moving friends and family, to moving my family into our own home, the last thing we wanted to worry about was painting, and being in a small town can make it a struggle to find an affordable and reliable painting service. That's where we come in! I am an easy-going person and I like to have fun with the process. I want my customers to know that I always put myself in my customer's shoes and treat their home like my own most of all.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.
