"Richard and his assistant were very prompt, scheduled the job quickly, arrived on time (early, in fact) and worked lightening-fast to wallpaper three rooms in my home. The quality was excellent, too, and their experience in the field really shows. I would definitely recommend them!"

"— Absolutely Incredible! My name is Lucretia Cameron, and my daughter Jahnyce recently bought her first home. It had great bones and had only had one elderly owner since it was built — never mortgaged, well-kept, but completely outdated. We were excited to make it ours, but after dealing with multiple contractors who took advantage of us, we were devastated. Then we found Bruno and the Empire team, and everything changed. From the moment Bruno arrived — exactly when he said he would — we felt like we had known him forever. I have mobility issues, so my daughter met him at the door, and right away, we knew we were in good hands. I called on a weekend, and by Monday morning, he was at our home. **Tuesday morning, he started the job.** He promised the job would take 8 days — and it did. No delays, no excuses. The contract covered walls, trim, ceilings, wallpaper removal, flood damage repairs — and not only did he deliver, but he went above and beyond. Bruno painted doors, added doorstops, cleaned and polished our refinished floors, painted baseboard heating, and did a ton of extra detail work — all without charging a penny more.** His price was **50% less** than every estimate we received, and unlike other contractors, he didn’t ask for any money upfront. ( did I mention that his price also covered Benjamin Moore's paint! The quality of the work? Spectacular!!!. WOW...his team..His team — men and women!!! — were ALL equally respectful, skilled, and kind. The care they put into their work honestly brought me to tears more than once. This is my daughter’s first home, but my fourth — I’ve done complete renovations before, hired many contractors, added basements, pools, in-law apartments. But I’ve never met anyone like Bruno. We’re now getting our estimate next for the kitchen, and the basement. Then by the end of the year the exterior. We don’t have a big budget — just heart and determination — and Bruno has treated our home like his own. The photos on Empire’s website, as beautiful as they are, don’t even come close to showing how beautiful the work truly is. Thank you, Bruno, from the bottom of our hearts. We will recommend you to everyone we know. You’re not just a contractor — you’re a blessing. ❤️ - Lucretia, Jahnyce & Damien!"

"In summary I have to say Richard was  excellent!  He came when he said he would and finished the work when he said it would be finished.  As I solicited multiple bids for the work NE Renovations was among the most competitive.  As the work was completed I was so pleased I ended requesting he come back to do additional jobs.  He was very accomadating and even explained various options on how best to accomplish the additional work.

They assigned different contractors to do the construction work. One of the contractors said that the job was too big and that they could not do it, which was fine. I respect that. The secretary stated that she would try to find other contractors to do the job. The owner came and walked through the house and we spoke about what needed to be done in the house. I did not feel confident in his contractor because he seemed that he did not know what he was doing. I wanted him to do one specific thing. The owner wanted to take down the whole wall. I just wanted to reopen a small section. I started to feel like they were pushing me. For those reasons I felt uncomfortable and did not go with them. The quote was detailed.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

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.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

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.
