"Chad and son were very professional and worked hard even though the rain was persistent at times. And they didn’t slow down even in 90 degree temps. I would highly recommend them and Will give them future painting projects."

"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."

"Besides installing wall covering with literally perfect results, contractor, Tom Warrington, also re-finished a section of damaged plaster ceiling with equally outstanding results. I have been around a variety of tradesmen much of my life (my father was an architect) and I have learned to distinguish those who are conscientious and take pride in their work compared to the losers. This contractor is a winner in every way."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

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

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.
