"They were communicative and fast. They painted a huge outdoor area in one day and did another large indoor room on another day. This was for a commercial project. I would recommend hiring them. We tried several other painters beforehand and this was the first crew that did what they said they’d do, and did a good job."

"Jim is trustworthy, ethical, careful, and does high-quality work. He refinished existing cabinets for me, added slow-close hinges, and switched pull-out shelves for a trash can unit. Very satisfied."

"Excellent. We were very pleased with Cindy's work. She was very friendly and kept us in the loop with the progress of the project. She also offered helpful tips on best ways to finish the painting of the bathroom walls, which we did ourselves. She cleaned up after herself. We would definitely recommend her to others."

"I recently hired Bruce Beechler Painting to repaint the interior of my home and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the process was seamless. The team was professional, courteous, and meticulous in their work. They took the time to thoroughly prepare the surfaces, applying high-quality primer and paint with great attention to detail. The finished product looks absolutely beautiful - the colors are vibrant, the lines are clean, and there are no messy drips or sloppy edges. I'm amazed at how quickly they were able to transform each room. What I appreciated most was their commitment to customer satisfaction. They were responsive to my questions and requests throughout the project. They also took great care to protect my furniture and floors, leaving everything spotless when the job was done. I would highly recommend Bruce Beechler Painting to anyone looking for top-notch painting services. Their exceptional workmanship and outstanding customer service make them the best in the business. I'm thrilled with my "new" home and will definitely use them again in the future."

"Angel and his team did a great job of staining the deck. The cost was very competitive and the turn around time was faster than expected (about 10days from proposal). The work was done in a careful manner to ensure no stain got to where the deck attached to the house. The work was also done in a quality manner. We are very happy with the results and would highly recommend this company to others."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put wallpaper in a bathroom, but whether it's a good idea depends on several factors. Because bathrooms are high-humidity areas, it's crucial to choose a water-resistant wallpaper, such as one made of vinyl. Proper wall preparation is also critical to ensure the paper adheres well, even after many steamy showers. The wallpaper's placement also affects its longevity; it will hold up better on an accent wall or away from direct water contact, rather than immediately next to a shower. A well-ventilated bathroom will yield the best results.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

It’s possible to hang your own wallpaper, but the process is tedious and potentially frustrating, and it can be challenging to get seams to line up and look clean and professional. Plus, depending on the type of wallpaper you’re installing, using too much or too little adhesive could cause damage to your drywall or plaster, peeling, and bubbling in the final product. It’s usually a better idea to hire a professional wallpaper installer to do the work for you, as the relatively low cost is justifiable, if only to avoid damage to your walls.

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.

To layer wallpaper over wallpaper, inspect your existing wallpaper for problem areas. Damaged wallpaper should not be covered. If it’s okay to proceed, prep by turning off the electricity and removing any outlet and switch covers. Dust your walls and lightly rinse them to prevent the existing paper from peeling. Apply primer, then apply your new wallpaper.
