"So wonderful to work with. They did the painting and wallpaper in my nursery and it came out perfectly, better than I was hoping. They made sure I ordered my wall mural with the correct dimensions and not only was the measurement spot on, but the application of the panels was seamless. Even added a cute wallpaper detail to my light switch cover AND put the crib in the room together. Would absolutely work with again"

"I got a handful of quotes for this job. Target was the highest, but they impressed us with all the talk of leaving the job site totally clean. Gene went into detail about how they would cover everything, keep paint off the bushes and screens, etc. We decided to go with the pricier option to have everything done well. We did receive a discount to let them start the next week, but they never showed. After calling at the end of the week, they said they'd come to power wash on Sunday. Then when no one showed on Monday, I called and was told they would come Weds. They came Tuesday and I had to pick the color (I had already picked the 3 samples to do) old have been stuck waiting for me I guess? They painted the whole house in 2 days and finished loading the ladders on day 2 in the dark, which meant no one took a look around. The next morning I found paint on the lawn, bushes, driveway, garage floor, deck, and a couple screens. There was painters tape wads found all around the house. There was still painters tape on some things on the house! The definition between trim and house is not that well done. I'm not a painter and I could have done a better job. There are drips of white trim paint on the gray house sections. There was a whole section the front that had to be re-painted as the fade pattern of the old paint was still visible (despite two coats of paint?) Upon complaining, they did return and pick up, paint the deck spots, try to fix some other areas, and took a screen out to replace it. It took another phone call the next week to get the screen returned. Overall it's not the worst paint job, and if I had paid a bargain price I probably would have just thought "Well, you get what you pay for," but in this case I paid a lot for sloppy work. I will not use this company again. The pictures below are from today - just a few examples. Paint on the foundation, not a great job on the trim lines, paint chips all over, and there is literally still painters tape up. *UPDATE* After reading my review on Angie's List, the project manager called me to talk about the problems. He was very professional about it and sent a crew out (a different crew finally) to take care of touching up the paint and rehanging the shutters so that they were no longer crooked. They re-stained the deck at no cost to make up for all the problems. The final result was good, even if it doesn't completely erase all the headache that lead up to it. I did appreciate Yuri's desire to address everything until we were satisfied. He followed up until the job was done and assured me that the issues were addressed within the company. Was our situation a fluke? Perhaps. His desire to convert us to happy customers says a lot about the integrity of the company."

"Marcio's team was outstanding. Needed a ceiling replaced to cover water damage, and older tile blocks, and entire apartment wallpaper removal. Marcio did outstanding work at a competitive price. They were in and out in a single day plus a few hours. Great cleanup and care was taken. Arrived at 7AM to start work. Showed up when promised. I highly recommend Marcio and Master Plastering & Services. I'm looking at additional work for this team. Thank you!"

"Prepped covered all the floors and the entrance hallway. They repaired a water damaged ceiling . Repainted it and the walls also. In four rooms removed wallpaper from 100 year old plaster walls. Smoothed the walls and painted them looking GREAT! Also did the same for the ceilings in the four rooms all looking GREAT!. moved furniture as needed and put it back when done. Cleaned up everything before leaving. I plan to hire them next time I need any painting done."

"My wife and I needed some major paining done to our new condominium unit. The walls are 22’ high so we needed someone with experience. We called JMC for an estimate and Justin showed up, took measurements and assured us it would be easy for him and his crew to get it done in two days. We trusted him because you know within 20 seconds of meeting him that he is a man of integrity. It was the best decision we made because Justin is not only thorough, prompt and efficient but he’s also one the nicest people we’ve ever met. He and his crew are so considerate and professional that I know we will never use another painter again. We could not recommend JMC Painting more! They are the best. Thank you Justin and your team for making our place look brand new! Mike & Krissy Roberts"

"Cobra Painting did great work. Showed up on time and were very professional. Originally only wanted my living room and hall painted. We were so impressed by their work, we had them return and paint my downstairs den and a bedroom. They worked neat and clean and were helpful with advice on current trends and popular colors that worked in our home. I would have them back again and highly recommend them."

"After purchasing our new home, we needed someone to come in to strip wallpaper in a few rooms of our house and to paint as much of the interior as we could afford. We hired Big Brush Painting after meeting with a number of painters and evaluating quotes for a few simple reasons. First, their review history here on Angie's List is stellar. Second, they were exceedingly punctual in their emails, phone calls, and their first visit to the house. Third, they were friendly, straightforward and down-to-earth. And finally, their price simply couldn't be beat. Their prices for painting were on par with or lower than most of the painters we spoke with, but their price for wallpaper stripping was less than half what others were charging. Initially we were skeptical about this, but after meeting with Rish and Rodrigo about the condition of our walls, we felt confidant in their recommendations and time estimates. We hired them to strip all of the wallpaper (living room, dining room, foyer, stairwell and upstairs/downstairs hallways), and then to paint the living room, foyer, stairwell and upstairs/downstairs hallways. We intended to paint the four bedrooms and the dining room ourselves, but in the end we ran out of time so we asked Rodrigo to add the dining room to his job. They worked very fast, and we're beyond pleased with quality of the results. On top of that, on more than one occasion Rodrigo gave us helpful painting tips, let us use a few of his tools and supplies, and rescued us from making colossal mistakes in our own work, even going so far as to patch all the way around a damaged doorway in one of the rooms we were working on. I won't hesitate to use Big Brush again or to recommend them to anyone in need of this type of work. They were well worth the money we spent."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

If you prefer peel-and-stick to traditional wallpaper, you can skip the priming process. Many manufacturers don't require an additional primer if you’re installing peel-and-stick wallpaper to painted walls. However, if you’re applying peel-and-stick wallpaper to unfinished drywall, you’ll need to apply a primer first.

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

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.

Deciding between a lighter or darker accent wall depends on the effect you’re going for. Choosing an accent wall in a lighter color will make a room feel brighter and more spacious and complement rooms with less natural light. A darker accent wall will add drama and depth to a room and help make larger rooms feel more cozy and intimate.

The color of the paint, its opacity, and the depth of the texture on the paper all affect how many coats of paint you need to apply to paintable wallpaper. You'll need at least two coats of paint to ensure even coverage. Don’t be surprised if you need to apply three coats if the embossing is very deep or if you use a dark color.
