"Jeff and Corey accomplished all requests, despite the difficulty of old post removal despite heavy roots, rock retaining wall, poured concrete patio, and garage foundation. Both are very personable and easy to communicate with. Extremely pleased with the end result."

"Jason Griggs and his small team did an awesome job! The quality and attention to detail that he brings to the job are excellent. Because he is highly rated on Angie's List, he was also in high demand. While I could afford to wait almost 3 months for him to have an opening, it was worth the wait. I was very satisfied. It was completed several days earlier than initially estimated, too. I had a two-story family room with very high ceilings, crown molding with intricate detail, columns that required detailed trim, and about 10 rooms, a two-story entryway/foyer, long hallways, and a loft. It was an extensive amount of work. Not only was the quality top-notch, but Jason is very good at communicating and doing what he says he will do. He kept me posted when they would begin, gave me daily updates, and when the job was near finished, he walked through the entire house with me to ensure I was satisfied. He consistently worked an 8-hour day, showed up between 8:00-8:30am each day, and finished between 4:30-5:00pm. He was great to work with, respected my property, cleaned up well each day, and when the job was complete, removed everything and left my house in the same condition it was prior to the start of work. His team will move furniture, remove draperies, fixtures, etc. for you. He will put furniture back and he will re-install anything that needs to be put back up. He is a conscientious professional and is respectful and deferential to the customer. He is a refreshing professional to deal with, on top of being a great painter. I could not be at the house every day, as I had to work, and I was able to trust him with my garage code to come and go as needed. He and his team proved to be trustworthy, and after a couple days, I had no worries at giving he and his crew open access to my house and the belongings. You will be very happy working with Jason and he will do a great job for you. I am a picky customer and I really demand high quality. So if I can be satisfied, anyone can be satisfied. Oh, and I found his prices to be pretty reasonable, too."

"My older home is 100% siding, with both aluminum and wood. GC South Star sent their project manager Gerson out to quote and manage the project and he and his team did an amazing job. House was power washed (they even did the fences around the house as a courtesy!), they removed a satellite dish, cables/wiring and patched holes, taped up windows and doors prior to spraying the house and balcony - house looks completely new! They were prompt in their estimate and scheduling, price was fantastic (I had gotten 5 estimates and theirs was the best) and I am very pleased with the work. They also did not require the balance of the payment until we had walked through and finished anything that needed fixing - only a couple of small things. Based on their work and professionalism, my parents also hired them to complete a total repainting of the interior of their home (they also reviewed them). We'd use them again in a minute and you will be VERY happy with their work! Great team!"

"Contracted to paint master barn and closets, as well as, strip master bathroom wallpaper. Trino and his crew did an Excellent job; Completely satisfied. They arrived at 10 a.m. and finished at 7 p.m. The prep work was thorough and there was attention to detail (ie. caulked, fixed all nail pops, etc). There was some minor touch-up needed and Trini arrived the very next day at 9 a.m. and did all that was needed. The crew worked hard and were mindful of our schedule. Their quote was also very competitive. I highly recommend Strong Painting Work."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

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.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

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.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.
