We are a locally owned and operated fully Licensed, Interior, and Exterior Painting company. We strive for excellence and provide the best for our clients. We also offer wallpaper install, wallpaper removal, stucco as well as cleaning services.

"My first time hiring an Angi Pro and I hit the jackpot. Brian Kennedy of Kennedy Painting exceeded my expectations over and over again. From the start of our correspondence in early August (project delayed due to personal issues on my end) to our conversation in October when Brian asked 'how about Monday at 7:00 AM?" I was introduced to the team that worked so efficiently, moving furniture (living room/dining room and two hallways) cleaned up at the end of each day. Wallpaper stripped, walls repaired, and painted. My project took five complete days with minimal interruptions in my daily life. Very, very professional, efficient organization. "

"Mark was very friendly, professional, responsive and finished the job a timely manner. He gave us a fair estimate and was able to accurately describe the scope of the project up front. We had just bought a 1967 ranch that needed updating and Mark and his team removed some paneling and layers of old painted wallpaper from almost every room in the house, repaired the walls and painted our new house to get it ready for us to move in and make our home. He was also knowledgeable about helping us choose the right paint color and finish. He even stood by his work and helped us fix a snafu weeks later in the bathroom due us not having a working fan. I highly recommend Color Concepts."

"I’d put off fixing a hole in our kitchen ceiling for months, assuming it would be a multi-day hassle with furniture to move and dust everywhere. I finally found Marcio and Flavio at Master Plastering through Angi.com — first-time user, and wow, what a great experience. They were responsive, insured, and incredibly easy to work with. I asked for quotes on Wednesday, signed on Friday, and by Monday night the job was done — plastered, painted, spotless, and perfect. No mess, no stress, just efficient, high-quality work. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for fast, professional results."

Their offer was very reasonable. Derek + James are skilled artisans with years of experience. They both are diligent (nearly obsessive) about the quality of their work. If you seek a fast hack job that will fall apart in a year, they are not for you. They consistently stayed in touch with me throughout the project re. progress.

Willie of Willie's Painting has been painting since 2005 and with all his experience he has opening his own business in 2013. The crew that work for Willie work great as a team to meet the needs of the customer and the project. We work with interior and exterior painting, gutter cleaning, and pressure washing. We will sub-contract for any project with notice in advance. After the free estimate is given and the job is decided on a 40% of the total is due before the work begins. After, the remaining balance is due at the end. (finance options are available)

"We have used Willie's painting on 3 separate projects now and will be using them for a 4th project coming up soon. The projects were 3 bedrooms, 1 with tall vaulted ceilings. They painted all the walls, doors, windows, trim and ceiling. We also used him to clean the exterior of the house and paint all the exterior doors and trim as well as to sand and stain the wood on the porch. Willie pays close attention to the details and does superb work. When we bought the house 2 years ago we used somebody else to paint most of the inside with what we thought was good work, but Willie's work was immaculate in comparison and his prices were slightly less for the quoting the same jobs. Willie himself is very friendly and professional, responds promptly to inquiries and get the work done on time. We know that we're going to be taken care of and have nothing to worry about with Willie and his team which is why we keep coming back."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

Wallpaper costs depend on several factors, such as the type, who's installing it, and how much you need. Usually, peel-and-stick wallpaper costs less than more permanent options. If you DIY, you can also expect your costs to be lower compared to working with a professional. The average cost to install wallpaper is $560, but total costs can range from $175 to $1,500.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if you select wallpaper that is designed to be paintable. This type of paper is meant to add texture to walls. Alternatively, if you have old wallpaper you’d like to cover up, you can often paint over that instead of removing it. However, it needs to be smooth, damage-free, and non-textured. Otherwise, any bumps, tears, and texture will show through the paint.
