Locally owned and operated, we're a small company with big capabilities, including interior painting, exterior painting, commercial painting, deck finishing, and interior design.

"Great company! We dealt with Greg who was super easy to work with and provided advice and a full paint book for me to decide my colors. He worked within our budget and communicated throughout the whole process. Zero surprises! Work took 3 guys about 5 days on brick and detail trim work. Also replaced some rotted pieces of wood that were part of trim and porch. Very impressed with the quality and final result. I am a perfectionist and I could not find one mistake they made on the whole house! Would definitely hire again."

Family owned and operated company with over 40 years of experience. We specialize in all your painting, drywall and wallpaper needs. Blending quality, craftsmanship, and customer care is our specialty. Reach out to me directly at 859-391-9193 to schedule an estimate.

"Quite simply, this was the best contractor we have hired in 35 years of home ownership. We have had some good ones (and bad), but Pat is way above the rest and his price was the most reasonable. I read almost all the reviews and they are all fantastic (not one bad one) and for good reason: Pat and his team are the nicest, friendliest, most conscientious, thorough, laid-back, competent crew I have worked with. Four of them worked for 2 solid days scraping and repairing rotted wood that prior painters glossed over (they were too professional to say this themselves) with NO complaints. And I had to insist that we compensate them properly for all that! Pat is the most honest, knowledgeable, generous contractor I have hired. They may not look like your typical college-aged painters, but don't be fooled - they are a capable and expert team like no other. BTW, they can fix anything - I plan to have them back to seal our brick, fix and paint the deck, do interior work, and my neighbors are having them replace gutters and tuck-point. We are so happy we found them!"

Creektrace Painting Services, LLC was founded in 2019, but my experience in painting began in 2004. Over the past 20 years, I have been dedicated to ensuring the hundreds of customers we've helped are educated about the Painting Process, from prep to finish. We take the mystery out of the project, and our team is dedicated to getting your Home/Business back to beautiful.

"Can’t rave enough about the work Creektrace Painting has done at our house! Evan Katt and his crew of quality painters are worthy of your trust. They did an excellent job painting our wrap around front porch, back porch, chimney and all the wood trim on the house. On time each day, friendly, worked hard and finished quickly. The house looked brand new! And all for a very fair price. I’m having them back early next year to do the full interior. Get us on the schedule Evan!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You can paint over wallpaper if it’s smooth and in good shape. But if there are bumps or tears in the wallpaper, they’ll likely show through the paint. Similarly, you should avoid painting over textured wallpaper because the ridges and patterns in the paper will be visible. In either of these situations, you should remove the wallpaper before painting.

Mixing fabric softener into water is a low-cost way to remove wallpaper that has been passed among DIYers for years, but it has limited success. It works on some wallpaper, but not likely on vintage styles. Also, be careful, as it could interfere with the new wallpaper’s grip power.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

DIY removal is possible but requires patience. Professionals ensure smooth wall prep and avoid wall damage.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.
