"Wilber and crew were fantastic! Estimate was straightforward, understandable and prompt. Crew was on-time to start the work, brought four people and knocked it out in a day. Three things really stood out: 1. They went out of their way to take exceptional care of our home while doing the work...everything from how they closed doors to how they tarped the entire home from the front door to the room in the back of the house. 2. The quality of the work - the crew was meticulous about cleaning up the walls, ensuring all outlets were removed, mirrors removed, etc. 3. Communication - Wilber was very clear as to how long it would take, exactly how much paint we needed, etc. He checked in with us midway through the day to ensure we saw the first coat and how things were progressing. I would not hesitate to use Wilber Painting again"

"Working with Omar and his team was a pleasure. The challenge was to make sure that the window purchased/installed would be sufficiently large once opened to meet the current stringent code requirements for an escape/emergency-entrance window. The previously double hung window would not meet code. We wanted the window to be sufficiently large but not to do wholesale construction beyond what was necessary. Omar came to check the work to be done, returned to re-measure the window again, ordered/purchased/picked up the window and had a expert team of two install it. The workers had to enlarge the window opening, removing some of the cinderblock sections as well as build up the bottom of the window opening with concrete. They also installed a new attractive trim around the window on the inside of the room. During the installation, they also discovered and advised us, that the window well had to be enlarged to accommodate the window and provide an effective egress space. Omar charged only for the materials for constructing a new larger timber and gravel well. The work was done flawlessly, The advice provided was excellent. We were pleased with the transformation of the room. We are very pleased with the total results."

"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.

"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)."

"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

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

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.
