"This company did a terrific job removing grasscloth wallpaper from our dining room that had been damaged by a leak. They also removed wallpaper from the master bedroom and bath and prepped for painting. The reinstallation of the same wallpaper in the dining room was perfect! We are very pleased with the job and would use this company again."

"They were terrific. They redid my kitchen, scraped wallpaper, etc.  The Foreman, Walter, was fabulous.  He actually called me once when he was stuck in traffic to let me know that he was going to be about 10 minutes late.  I couldn't believe it.  He pretty much painted everything.  He was meticulous.  Everything had to be moved out so that it could be completed the right way.  It was so much better than any other painters I've had in the past.  The cost was a bit more, they were our middle estimate, but totally worth it.  He refinished seven doors as well as my kitchen and laundry room.  The cabinets looked like they just came off the showroom floor.  He made a whole room in our carport.  It was a beautiful job.  He was a true craftsman.  The employees were thoughtful and had been with the company for over 20 years.  They spoke very highly of the owner.  They've been in the area for a long time.   They really go the extra mile. They worked with me."

"He had originally taken a long time to get ahold of me, but eventually did and made-up for the lack of communication. As a courtesy they fixed the nails, spot-painted kitchen ceiling, and spot-painted the living room ceiling. They were pleasent to work with and very professional."

"I hired this company based on reviews from Angie's list.  My experience was a bit different than the A + rating they had.  The answered my call for a quote and arrived on time.  The communicated in Spanish about everything.  We all walked the house together and I pointed out everything that needed painting.  We had a discussion about the master bath, the last words I heard George senior tell me was "we can fix this".  They quoted me a price of $3400.00 and said if I got everything done at once, he would take $200.00 off.  I didn't get other quotes because I just moved in and time was a factor, so I can't really comment on price.  During the week, they dropped of a large paint sample thing to make may choices from.  They arrived early to start the two-day job, a Friday and a Saturday.  They finished the job on Saturday, as promised.  My master bath was not painted, the wood on the steps was not painted, they removed all the drapery hardware and it was tossed out apparently, they took a blind down in the master bedroom and I had to remind many times for them to fix it, they did with crazy glue.  The walls and ceiling are beautiful but the trim is horrible.  I am still painting over spots that were missed or the paint was wiped off when they cleaned the floors.  There was a quarter sized drop of paint on my maple dining room table.  There was a large spot of white trim paint on the colored wall in the hall, but worst of all I continue to clean small spots and areas where there is white paint on the oak floors. They did do me one favor and lift a TV back up above the fireplace that had been taken down for painting. They did leave all the extra paint in the basement, one bucket not closed and has a paint roller floating in it.  The worst thing was them teasing my dogs and getting them agitated and pushing each other towards them and laughing.  Overall, I don't think I had an "A" experience.  Unfortunately I would not recommend them or use them again.

"Very responsive.  Met with me on short notice for an estimate while I was in town for a short visit.  It had been a rental property for 10 years and I live out of town but I wanted to fix it up for sale.  I felt very comfortable with his level of professionalism and compared him to other bids and found him well within range. He was also able to do the work of several contractors each doing one thing all under one contract and for a lower price than others combined.  He started work within two weeks of signing and stayed true to his estimated time line. 
 
He sent pictures of before and after the work and I am very happy.  He understood my budget limits and helped keep costs down but retain quality of paint, repairs and workmanship.
 
Inside the house we had carpet that, when removed, found there was more damage than expected.  He sent pictures of what he found and we talked candidly about changes to the contract with additional fees that were essentially at cost for materials with a small markup.
He was very helpful in keeping up communication with me, even being far away and letting me know how things were going and any decisions that needed to be made so I felt comfortable with the work being done.
I sent a property manager to review the end product with him and she gave high marks.  And she's a tough cookie.
Only problem is, now I wish I could move back in rather than sell it!

"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."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

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.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

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.

The cost varies from $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the type of wallpaper, the wall condition, and the labor involved.
