"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."

"Restart his crew were able to paint my one story vinyl sided home and update it from its dingy dark yellow to a fresh Agreeable gray. He was very knowledgeable about his Sherwin Williams Preferred products and was able to convince me (a hard bargain) in a more modern refreshing update. It was a pleasure to work with him and the Crew, very punctual and I love how he feeds his crew!! Looking forward to working with him on my investment properties this spring"

"The company owner was friendly and knowledgeable. He came everyday to review the work. The workers spent long days, were diligent, and did excellent work. They cleaned up and moved all furniture and wall hangings back in place. I was very pleased with the results. It was not cheap, but I believe I received good quality for the price. There was one miscommunication about the scope of the work, which the owner resolved in my favor. I would hire this company again."

"Replaced kitchen cabinets, installed new appliances and quartz countertops with tile backsplash, tore down and rebuilt attached family room, added island to kitchen, replaced flooring with hardwood and upgraded electrical in both rooms, new lighting in family room, refinished wood floors in all downstairs rooms, upgraded electrical service to 200A, ran new circuit to garage. Work began immediately after Thanksgiving and most work completed and appliances installed Dec 23rd just in time for holidays. Work was done quickly, efficiently and professionally, trash constantly removed, foreman was always available and immediately responsive during this time. We were required to purchase new appliances ourselves which they installed, which we preferred. 1/3 payment required upfront, 1/3 when work started and the remainder when work was substantially completed and rooms livable (their definition). The contract allowed 10% of that final payment to be held back until all work listed and priced in the contract was completed. Although that seemed to be a lot to pay before work was completed, I correctly believed they could be trusted to complete the work quickly and properly. When mistakes were made which occasionally happened (e.g. a light wouldn't turn off and the range hood wouldn't vent), they returned immediately to correct the problem. All the contractors and subcontractors were professional, polite and helpful."

Each time, Robert and the crew arrived on time.   Once Robert made sure all the furniture was moved and covered to protect it, and the proper paint was on site, he left the crew to do the work.  The crew was very professional and good natured, filling in nail holes and repairing drywall before painting, and then putting everything back in place once finished.   Robert later came back to check the work, and on one occasion, sent one of the crew back to do some minor touch-ups.  I appreciated the willingness of Competitive Painters to work with me on scheduling since removing everything from the apartment was not possible, even though this would have made their job of painting much easier.  Robert also provided suggestions on paint colors, which were spot on.  I would not hesitate to recommend Competitive Painters.

"Second time we hired Faith Painters. Mike is great to work with, always patient with us. The guys removed our old wallpaper and replaced it with new wallpaper in the kitchen. As well, they painted the first floor entryway, living-room and dining room.

"John came to give us an estimate and we were a little shocked by the price. This is by no means a cheap service because of the regulations they have to follow. He called us later and lowered his price to keep his crew working and we were very happy for someone that really wanted our business. They were very prompt on the day of the removal. They did everything we asked and left the house in better shape than when they arrived. They even removed some old carpet that was in the way. We were very satisfied with the job they did. The one thing that we were surprised by was the fact they did not take credit cards. We had not budgeted for a cash payment. I hope in the future they are more up front with customers about this. We would use them again.

"I wasn't expecting an emaculate job, basically a wipe down of furniture and floors. The kitchen and 3 bathrooms none being large were wiped down but that was it. The vacuum did not even appear to be run as there were large pieces of trash still on the floor. I could have written my name in the dust on the furniture. I've cleaned my house a lot and I know with absolute certainty it doesn't take 6 hours to clean the kitchen and 3 small bathrooms. Even if an hour was spent in each room that still leaves 2 hours. I did like the owner, Paula she was friendly and nice but I cannot recommend her business because the service provided was not very good.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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 lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

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.

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.
