"Excellent job to Mario and his crew! Mario showed up at the job within 30 minutes of me contacting him. He looked at the job, gave me a quote and started 3 days later. They showed up on time everyday, worked professionally. I spoke with him and his crewman several times and they are very polite, professional and very detailed. There was one small issue and he contacted me right away to let me know about it and how he was going to fix it. The condo was completely finished in 3 days, that included ceilings, trim, closets and walls. Not a paint splatter on any of the carpet or a drip on any of the walls. PERFECTION! I will hire again and highly recommend distinctive painting to anyone. Thank you Mario"

Arthur answered my query within a day. Celso was out to look at requirements and prepare a quote with another couple of days.

Ede came in and removed all cabinet doors and drawers and took them to the Bright shop for prep work and spay painting.

Ede and Sam came back with the doors and drawers and worked very hard for 2 days, taping, covering priming sanding  and finishing. The doors and drawers were re-installed and the entire area thoroughly cleaned.

We could not be happier. The guys took off their shoes while in the house, were friendly and could not do enough for us. There was one minor issue that was my fault and they came back within a day and took care of it.

"Said and his assistant did a fantastic job and were able to sand trim and get two coats of pain on everything within 4 hours. I was amazed! They left the room very clean and paint job looks great. Said was professional, knowledgeable and gave me good tips on removing wallpaper and repainting trim throughout my house if we should decided to do it ourselves. I'll likely hire him again over the winter for a few other paint projects we have on our list.

"Let me start off by saying that I would highly recommend ESP Painting to everyone. Edson, was punctual, responsive, professional, gave great advice, and his team did a flawless job and they even finished up a bit earlier than expected!
There were quite a few uneven spots on the walls that ESP had to fix before starting to paint and now that it?s finished I see no evidence of any of the old holes / cracks. I picked the wall colors but for everything else I decided to trust Edson?s professional
opinion and the end result is more than I could have hoped for.
I am very satisfied with the whole experience and would hire ESP again in a second.

"Daddy and Junior Paint is the best around! I have used them on several large and small jobs. They are the only company I call when I need work done. Rodolfo always returns my calls, shows up on time and completes a project on time or early. Every time I have used Rodolfo's services he has gone above and beyond for me. Rodolfo is also very personable and makes you feel comfortable around him and his employees. In our most recent project he drywalled three rooms which included all the walls and ceilings. Removed wallpaper and then skim coated walls. Rodolfo's finishing work with the trim was beautiful! When it came to color suggestion he walked me through the process of picking the perfect color. I will be using Daddy and Junior Paint for years to come."

"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!"

"It went better than I imagined. I recently had my living room repainted and new lighting installed and when that job was finished I realized I couldn't keep the dated wall to wall carpet that had been in the house for years. I called Mike on a Saturday morning, he called back within 10 minutes and come over that afternoon to give me an estimate and began the work the following Tuesday, when he removed the wall to wall carpet.  He started the sanding the next day. When he gave me the estimate he said it would take three days to do the job and another two to allow the finish to dry completely before I could move the furniture back.  He explained the difference between the water based and oil based polyurethane finishes and that I would need to have thresholds installed at some doorways.  After the old wall to wall was removed he showed me scratches the original carpet installers had left in the hardwood.  He said he would try to get them out, but they were very deep and would most likely show up as "shadow lines" when he was done.  They are minor and I can live with them. He did the job right on time and at the price he gave me.  He always returned calls promptly. He was very honest and upfront with me throughout.  The job went exactly as he said it would.  The floors look fantastic, I'm very happy with the job he did! Now I want to have my three bedroom floors done."

"Went great - the room was being painted from a very dark green to a light orchard.  It took 4 coats to cover the green so the job took an extra hour.  I was pleasantly surprised that it only was an additional $75.  I was extremely pleased with the work and may use them in the future.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

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.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.
