"All of Bob's Painting people I dealt with were excellent.  Estimate, pre-paint, and painting have well done professionally.
I had two other estimates. Bob's painting was not the lowest price however; Bob (owner) presented very likable personality and professionalism when he provided me an estimate.  I'm very happy and satisfied using them.  My house looks like a newly build house with fresh stucco paint and front door.  My drive way is remarkably clean comparing with my neighbors'.  As a matter of fact, one of my neighbor just hired some handyman for power wash their driveway . . . . sorry, but my neighbor wasted money. . .
Thanks Bob, Ron, Robert, Jose and David, I love your work!!

"Installers were prompt and worked efficiently.  New installer needed a bit more professional training, since he asked if he could smoke an e-cigarette inside.  When I said "no", he was polite and smoked outside.  At least he asked.  Installers looked a bit "rough" but they wore company shirts and did a good job.  My only problem with this company was that their hours were inconvenient, although they made arrangements to be open when I requested.

I first contacted Acadian Remodeling in the beginning of October 2014.  they worked closely with me on the pricing for the project in order to make it work within my budget and we finally signed a proposal/contract mid October.  They were willing to let us as homeowners so some of the work in order to save money and stay on budget.  Acadian made sure to contact me before any work was done that was not in the original proposal started.

Work began in November 2014 and lasted through January 2015.  they worked pretty much everyday not including Thanksgiving and Christmas, sometimes they even worked on weekends.  No major problems or issues came up.  General construction work was excellent.  Finishing work (drywall, trim, windows, and doors) was average.  There were a few things not to my liking but Acadian fixed those and made sure I was completely happy with the final result of the project.  Clean-up during and after the project was average.  Overall, my experience with Acadian Remodeling was great and their crews were friendly and professional.  I would absolutely use them again in the future.

"We are in the middle of a massive remodel.  The contractor we used attempted to level the kitchen/den ceiling and to apply texture and paint.  We have a large great room and the ceiling did not come out well.  It appeared wavy and uneven.  After several attempts at leveling the ceiling our contractor gave up saying that it was as good as it was going to get.  We found Millennium, George, on Angie's List.  He came out the same day we called and did a thorough inspection of our ceilings.  He showed us what was wrong and described how he would fix it.  He went through the rest of the remodel and pointed out several areas that had not been done properly.  He showed up when he said he would and did a good job repairing the work my contractor was unable to do.   I'm sorry that we have a contract with our original contractor.  George did a better job.  I would recommend Millennium if you need drywall, ceiling or painting work done.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

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.

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.
