"My partner and I had replacement windows installed in our bedroom. The were already primed and we intended to paint them ourselves. The house is 106 years old and the trim is orignal with many coats of paint, etc. After working several evenings and one full Saturday and with only one window set of trim and one window painted, we knew we needed help. The window company suggest we call Celtic Painting and talk to Scott Keating. We called and explained our situation and asked for the painting to happen as soon as possible. They managed to work us in for the following Friday at 7am. On Friday, Joe called ( at 7:00am) and said he was running a little late and would be there by 7:30am. He came at exactly 7:30am and went to work. By about 3:30 pm the windows and trim were all painted with 2 coats of paint. He had caulked around the windows as needed and done some sanding, although we had said we could live with the imperfections. We were very satisfied with Joe's work and our experience with Celtic. The area was cleaned up, no paint anywhere it shouldn't be and Joe was very professional, quiet and effiecient. We will definitely consider this company again if we need interior painting done."

"It has been a pleasure to do business with Ahmed construction. They provide very fair price on bidding. The administrative project manager Mr Albert is a hard working guy. Him along with the Mr Judy did the decking and replaced some studs on an addition remodel project. I highly recommend Ahmed construction and I will hire them again for any future project"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

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.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.
