"George's painting, inc was responsive and professional from start to finish. The project entailed wallpaper removal from 2.5 bathrooms and kitchen, repainting those rooms; installing a tile backsplash and vinyl tile floor in the kitchen; replacing the kitchen countertop; repairing a cabinet; repairing drywall and painting the ceiling in the master bedroom. The owner came out to do the estimate himself. He was accommodating when I wanted to expand the scope of the initial project and came out a second time to give me an updated estimate. He was easy to reach via cell or email. The estimate was more than fair. His crew completed the job in three days. The crew was polite, professional, and did a good job cleaning up at the end of each work day. I highly recommend this company and would use them again."

"Actually. the project went very well. 































There were some minor hiccups but they were dealt with and resolved quickly.  The workers showed up on time, worked very efficiently and removed debris as they went along.  The parquet in the foyer and hall to the kitchen was original with the house, which was build int 1969 and we continued the parquet into the kitchen and powder room in 2005.  I understand from what my husband said that they had quite a time removing the the kitchen portion of the floor and they said that it took a bit longer than they'd expected; but I was impressed with the speed with which they worked, and I though that they were on schedule for what needed to be removed.  But, this is not my area of expertise so I'll have to defer to those that do it. 































The replacement material was wood-look porcelain tile that had a vintage oak look to it; I was trying to compliment the existing oak floors in the living and dining rooms.  The installation of the new tile went down and it look amazing, we were very pleased with how it looked until the grout was applied.  Sahara Tan was the color purchased but it dried more of a Butter Cream color which as far as I'm concerned, is too light; but the floors do look wonderful and changing the grout color will not be a major endeavor with the grout shield product that I found online that can be applied and wiped off -- dries in 10 to 20 minutes. 































Anthony Barrera, the owner, is very personable; he was the person who came to our home initially to price the work to be done.  Since this was an insurance claim, I told him that the areas to be replaced had already been measured, so he didn't measure it himself.  As with any job, when buying materials, extra is always purchased just to make sure that there's enough to complete the work to get done.  I told Anthony that the area measured 280 sq ft, and that is what he based his price quote for the work to be done.  I purchased 300 sq ft, in an attempt to make sure that we had enough, which came to 20 cases of 6" x 24" tiles.  The entire  job took all but 5 tiles in the last box so Anthony adjusted the price accordingly.  I did not have a problem with the price adjustment. . .we agreed to set price for the stated 280 sq ft and it turned out to be a bit more so the additional cost was justified.  No problem.































I waited for a week or so, to give the floor some time to settle a bit and for us to see just how it looked.  We are very pleased with the work, although I have contacted Anthony to let him know that there are 2 minor issues that need to be resolved.  I'm waiting for him to get back to me so that we can schedule for someone to come out to take care of a loose tile and one that is a bit uneven.  Other than that, we are good and happy to have gotten the work done so efficiently and timely.

"JL painting exceeded my expectations! My previous contractor suddenly disappeared leaving me looking for a company to remove wallpaper and paneling. The team that worked at my house arrived early, stayed late, and worked the entire time they were here. They cleaned up after themselves both eveningsand on the third day for the touch up and finishing odds and ends they left my house in the condition they found it. The price was excellent! I would highly recommend their service."

"After a kitchen and family room renovation, the crew did an excellent job painting the rooms. We also needed a precise color match with our cabinets for trim work and it was spot on. The color consultation provided by Matt was so worth it. Everyone loves the color he advised is to choose.

They were professional, clean, and meticulous with their painting. Highly recommend."

"We started our search by looking on Angiest List. We spoke with three contractors prior to meeting with Mega Kitchen & Bath. Mega had  great reviews and we felt the most comfortable with and we couldn?t be happier with the results.
We met with Ibrahim a few times prior to demo.In these meetings we discussed our likes/ disliked about the kitchen, the location of
the sink, stove and cabinets and what we had hoped to gain from the remodel.
Demo:
We needed a complete kitchen remodel, which included demoing a very outdated cabinets, top, sink and floor and removing previously installed wallpaper. The demo went very well and we felt very comfortable with Leon doing most of the demo.
Remodel :
The remodel process went as smoothly as we could imagine.The only hold up we had was due to delays in appliances , backsplash.  Ibrahim was available to answer questions/concerns throughout every step we definitely valued his opinion
throughout the process. Leon did a great job and was very detail oriented.
Finished :
We love our kitchen and would definitely use Mega Kitchen & again !
(We?ve had two questions since the remodel was finished
(disposal , grout questions).Both of these concerns were addressed immediately within 2 days.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.

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.

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.

As long as the surface you’re putting the tile on is properly prepped, peel-and-stick backsplashes should stay on and last anywhere from 3 to 5 years. The best way to ensure the tile stays on is to sand down and clean the wall before applying your design.
