"It went great. They were timely, professional and friendly. I would recommend them to anybody that needs a wallpaper removed or need any painting done in their home."
"Wilber and his crew were very professional, punctual and delivered what they promised. Will definitely hire them again for many other drywall, wallpaper removal and painting jobs I have planned in my home."
"We recently bought a home through the short sale process that needed lots of work. Omar came in person and walked through the house with us and discussed what each project would entail. While we interviewed a number of contractors, Omar's calm and kind personality and thorough attention to detail won us over. It was a fairly sizable investment that we made in fixing up our new house and of course we really wanted it to go well. We decided to focus on painting the main level and repairing the basement: Basement: When we moved in, we found crickets hopping around in the basement. The water was entering through the door of the walk-up basement. Omar recommended addressing the drainage problem, which was due to the lack of flow at the drain. Rather than replacing the drain, Omar realized that the problem was that the sump pump was not working. In addition to addressing the drainage issue, Omar recommended moving the door up so that it sat a couple of inches higher in the doorway and replacing the rotting wood under the door with concrete. After Omar finished, the basement was waterproofed to the extent that we can now install engineered hardwood in the basement. Omar's people were very thorough in removing drywall around the door about 10 feet in either direction and replacing the rotten insulation. They re-applied dry wall and it looks like new. Painting: On the first floor of the house, we have a 2-story family room, kitchen, powder room, and foyer. Everything, other than the powder room are large. The kitchen and powder room featured some truly terrible wallpaper. There is lots of trim to contend with as well. In short, the painted rooms look great. Omar's guys paid great attention to prepping the walls before painting. When they were done, we realized that the great room color that we had chosen was much too intense and clashed with the kitchen color. Omar re-painted the next day and we ended up being extremely happy with how the paint looked. Overall, the quality of painting and the craftsmanship of the basement work were both outstanding. We have established a great trust with Omar and, very importantly, his team. Everyone is highly, highly competent and friendly. They do their work on time and well. While Omar's people were painting our house, our new washer/dryer were delivered. The Whirlpool representatives refused to install our washer/dryer because a bird had entered into the exhaust duct and died. One of Omar's guys removed the carcass so that the Whirlpool guy could finish his work. We were so happy with the work that we have since hired Omar for more projects. They can do pretty much anything, as we've learned, and that is really helpful for new homeowners. We enthusiastically recommend Omar's General Contracting!"
"This is the third time we have used them in our home and we are beyond happy with the job they do everytime! They did paint/wallpaper in our son's nursery, wallpaper in two stairwells, and now, paint and wallpaper in our daughter's nursery. Jeff is responsive, efficient and fairly priced! We can't recommend them enough!"

"The work was done quickly and adequately. The price was very good - there was a lot of work to prepare the wall for painting. However, the attention to detail could have been better (e.g., color paint on white trim, old wallpaper glue not removed and painted over, used a roller to paint a door so the finish was not smooth)."
"Mr. Lazo arrived to give me an estimate on the date and time we agreed to. He walked through and observed the house and wrote an estimate on the spot that was for an amount that was exactly what I had estimated the work would cost. On the morning they were to start work, a large crew arrived on time and began removing the wallpaper. They removed the wallpaper from the entire house in one day! It would have taken us weeks if not months, to complete the job ourselves. The crew then began the painting process. They put two base coats followed by two coats of paint on all the walls. I could not find any mistakes when they were finished. They cleaned up thoroughly when they were done. I can not say how pleased I am with the professional job they did. I am thoroughly satisfied. Mr. Lazo called me regularly to discuss things I would definitely use this company again.
Your peel-and-stick wallpaper can fall off for multiple reasons, including high humidity levels, extreme temperature changes, poor installation, and even the wall surface. Textured walls can prevent the adhesive from fully sticking to the wall, making it more likely for the wallpaper to peel off. Low-quality wallpapers with weaker adhesives are also more likely to fall off prematurely.
The two most common reasons wallpaper does not stick are a lack of preparation and improper adhesive. Be sure to use the wallpaper paste designed for the type of paper you choose. Before beginning your project, make sure the walls are clean and free of dust, grease, and oils.
Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.
While some people are confident in their ability to replace concrete by drilling out the broken pieces and replacing them with bagged concrete, it’s possible to run into snags that make hiring a professional worth it. Trying to level concrete slabs can require special equipment, which can be pricey to rent and tough to operate. It's also crucial to contact your town's municipal office to ensure you are allowed to take on the project without a permit.
Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can apply wallpaper on textured walls, the peel-and-stick variety won’t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.
