My husband and I removed old wallpaper in the kitchen with a steamer. We got all the wallpaper down, but it left the walls a mess. I'm also in the process of painting the whole house, and there some rooms that are difficult for me to do myself. The walls in the stairwells are two stories tall and the master bath and bedroom have cathedral ceilings.
We found Danny on Angie's List and called for an estimate. He showed up for the appointment on time, he was thorough in his estimate, polite and interested in the project. He gave us a good deal even worked with my schedule to get the project booked right away.
Danny and his team showed up at 8:00, explained the plan for the day, and worked until 6:00. The next day, a huge team showed up before 8:00 and worked all day until around 7:00. The project was estimated to take four days to complete and they got it done in two, which gave me two days of vacation back!
The job looked perfect. Not a drop out of place on anything. This was a big concern for me because we just had all new hard wood floors put in and I didn't want any paint mishaps to damage the floors. They were mindful of the furniture and electronics and very careful with the floors. Hi team was very polite and hardworking. They spent the last hour of each day cleaning up so I had very little to do after everything was done.
Danny and his brother checked in with me during the project to ask questions about how we wanted something done, to ask for feedback, to check on the progress, etc. He inspected the job himself as the team was finishing up and even called later in the week to see if we were happy.
Danny and his team did a wonderful job. It was a good price on a big project (drywall repair - yuck!), and they did it quickly and perfectly. They were punctual and polite. I would recommend them to anyone and we will certainly end up using them again in the future!
"John installed wallpaper on a small accent wall in our kitchen. It turned out perfect! Excellent quality of work, extremely professional and punctual. Will definitely hire for our next job. Thanks, John!"
"It went great. The walls in one bathroom were in rough shape owing to wallpaper removal efforts on my part. I thought Pro Decor would just paint the room but they exceeded expectations with the skim coat. The ceiling in the kitchen had a bad seam where a wall had been removed and badly patched by a contractor. Pro Decor dug out those bad results and fixed it correctly. It all looks great and the price was equally great."
"Marcos and his crew did an outstanding job for me. I'm picky, and was thrilled with the work performed. I am a repeat customer. (he stained my deck last year) This time, he removed wallpaper and painted my dining room. This was not an easy task, but the end result is amazing. He also painted my entire interior, fixed all the holes in the walls, and even painted the crown molding. He did a great job with the 2 story foyer and family room. My interior looks like a brand new home. I highly recommend this provider! Thanks! "
"JOEL KEPT HIS APPOINTMENTS ON TIME AND STARTED THE JOB THE DAY AND TIME HE SAID HE WOULD. DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF PAINTING BOTH ROOMS, AND REMOVED WALLPAPER FROM BATH AND CLEANED UP THE MESS. WAS VERY HELPFUL ON ALL OUR QUESTIONS."
"We were so pleased with this company! I originally contacted Manny about a 16 hr Big Deal for wallpaper removal and booked an appt the following week. We then got ahold of a wallpaper steamer and removed the wallpaper ourselves. This resulted in a huge mess. The steamer made the primer under the wallpaper bubble and pop. I contacted Manny and explained we removed the wallpaper but now needed paint and repair services. He was very understanding and accommodating, which I appreciated since we changed our appt from a 16 hr job to an 8 hr job. In 8 hours, they were able to apply drywall mud to damaged areas, sand, apply 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of paint. The walls look great! We will definitely contact them again in the future for drywall repair and painting!"
"They do not wear booties or vacuum up any of the sanded plaster. It was a big job for me to clean it up. They got grey filler from the ceiling on my wallpaper. Most of the ceiling was pretty smooth- but far from perfect. Some lumps and holes. I was disappointed "
"Gary, Repaired the drywall in our dining room that was damaged when old wallpaper was removed by us. He skimmed the walls with plaster, primed, and painted them. We also have some staining coming through the ceiling around the edge where the modling was as over time, it had started to come through the paster on the ceilings in two rooms. Gary primed and painted these ceilings. He also painted the ceiling in our great room which rises 22 ft up. He was exceptional in cleaning up, especially after he sanded the dining room after repairing the drywall. Even our chandlier was cleaned and our large table put back into the room. He is dependable to show up on the time he says he will. This is the second time we have used him and recommended him and his work to my friends."
The color of the paint, its opacity, and the depth of the texture on the paper all affect how many coats of paint you need to apply to paintable wallpaper. You'll need at least two coats of paint to ensure even coverage. Don’t be surprised if you need to apply three coats if the embossing is very deep or if you use a dark color.
You shouldn’t need extra adhesive for peel-and-stick backsplash tile. The adhesive on the back of the tile sheets should do the trick. However, if you experience issues with the tile peeling or falling off, make sure the wall you’re working on isn’t textured, as that can prevent the materials from properly adhering.
No, you don’t need to apply paint primer to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn’t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won’t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.
Because replacing pool tiles requires fully draining your pool, it’s a great opportunity to complete other projects. You may want to replace your pool’s vinyl liner or repair cracks. You might also replace your swimming pool heater or even take on the cost of resurfacing your pool. Resurfacing, although relatively costly, can help prolong the lifespan of your pool.
Ideally, you want to ask the wallpaper installers you’re considering for examples of past work, and references you can call. These will prove that the installer can handle your job, make your room look professional, and will also give you some insight into the kind of customer service you can expect. Before you start calling companies, you might want to narrow down your options by finding installers with mostly positive reviews online.
