They have the best ratings, by far, of any home improvement provider that I could find. Gray Manna got back to us very quickly after our email request and we soon talked on the phone about our projects. We initially were going to have work done on our master bathroom and bedroom as well as our outdoor porch/gazebo and one of our guest bedrooms. Gray set up a date soon after our conversation to do an estimate on the projects. When he came to our house we went over the master bathroom and bedroom first and he was very helpful with giving ideas on what we could do and where we could get other design ideas for the bathroom especially. We're pretty clueless with design but between ideas Gray had and the resources he gave us we came up with something that we're very happy with. When Gray looked at our upstairs guest bedroom project he recommended we hold on doing any painting at that time due to some water damage in the ceiling. At his recommendation we had a roofer inspect the roof and it turned out we had 3 out of 4 roof ventilation pipes with large holes around them, presumably letting water into our attic every time it rained. The roofer was amazed it hadn't caused more damage than in just the single upstairs guest bedroom and the roofer was able to do those repairs quickly and cheaply. Basically Gray saved us from having more serious water damage! Similarly, when he looked at our deck and gazebo, which had been installed by the prior owner, he found some structural issues and said he'd be happy to do the minor repairs we were looking to have done but that we'd probably be having him come back multiple times in future years for continued maintenance issues. So we actually decided to completely remove the porch/gazebo and go with a hardscape/patio design. I bring up these 2 topics because these were recommendations for projects on which Manna Bros could have made money but for which Gray instead gave us his honest opinions and in the end we made better decisions thanks to those recommendations. I think this approach summarizes the rest of our great experience with Manna Bros. They won't do something that they wouldn't recommend for their own homes. They prefer to do it right and sleep better for it. For our master bathroom remodel they removed a tub with a large tile tub deck, removed the fiberglass shower stall, removed old tile flooring, removed old vanity/mirror/medicine cabinets, and removed the toilet. They replaced with a custom tile shower, bathroom floor tiling, installed new vanity/mirror/medicine cabinets, painted, installed bathroom fixtures, had a plumber install the toilet and do the shower/vanity plumbing work, and had an electrician do some rewiring and installation of lights/fans including changing some switch options inside and just outside of the bathroom. In the master bedroom they removed wallpapering and painted. They did most of the work when none of us were at home so I don't know the full breakdown of who did what but Brian did the custom shower tiling and floor tiling and a lot of the other work in the bathroom along with Danny. Brian seems to be meticulous with the tiling and it really looks fantastic. We communicated mostly with Brian and Gray and they were both excellent in responding to calls and texts and very helpful and understanding throughout the project. Our bathroom looks great, we really couldn't be any happier with it. They don't do shower door installations as they haven't found any reliable off-the-shelf or big-box options but did give us a referral for someone they think does a great professional job so we plan to contact them for an estimate. Again, I think the best thing I can say is they will do the work as if it was their home and they won't do something they think is incorrect or that they're not comfortable doing.

It stared out well in terms of removing the paper. They allocated one week and it took a long time to remove the paper, towed the end they were in a rush. The painting was done hurriedly and not good. They weren't using skilled people. The paint job was fair and didn't meet my standards....

FAQs for wallpaper removal projects in Ilchester, MD
Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.
Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.
In most cases, you cannot wallpaper over existing wallpaper. It’s possible to wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but vinyl-coated wallpaper is much more prevalent in homes, so you generally shouldn’t put new wallpaper over existing wallpaper. Adding a layer of wallpaper over vinyl-coated paper will lead to poor adhesion, leaving behind bubbles and imperfections in your wall. Plus, wallpapering over vinyl-coated wallpaper can lead to mold growth, which can be hazardous to your health. It’s usually best to hire a local wallpaper removal service to handle the task to avoid these issues.
The average cost to remove wallpaper is around $3 per square foot, but the total depends on the type of wallpaper, how easy it is to remove, and the size of the room. Most homeowners spend around $780per room for wallpaper removal, and prices typically fall between $200 and $2,000. Wallpaper removal is expensive because it tends to be a very time-consuming job, and it can sometimes take a full day or more for the work to complete.
The easiest way to remove wallpaper is to use a steamer. The hot steam will loosen the wallpaper paste and make peeling the wallpaper off in large sheets much easier. Unfortunately, steamers can create irreparable damage on your walls, so it’s not a good idea for DIYers to use steamers to remove wallpaper. Instead, hire a professional wallpaper remover to do the work for you. This method will not only speed up the process, but it will also ensure your walls will remain intact post-wallpapering.
