"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.

"I want to start off stating that I knew this was a complicated job due to the multiple locations needing to be addressed in different manners. Anthony was very accommodating, professional, and responsible. Even when Anthony had a medical reason to not be involved in managing, he was. The overall grade, however, would be a B-. I would still use them again and recommend their use.
At first, I thought I found our handymen for the rest of our projects. I told Anthony the issues in COMPLETENESS OF WORK with other contractors, and was assured there is no problem here.
My wife and I were told that the entire job would be completed in 3 days. I expected a week, but it ended up being 2 weeks and a day.  Communication was a challenge on both my end and theirs. There were times when I talked to Anthony about specifics and details that we had agreed on, but when the working crew came, there was a misunderstanding. For example, I wanted all doors to be painted semi-gloss white. When the job was done, I noticed the doors were only painted on the front (facing the hall). I was told that is what they usually do when painting doors, but I thought it was understood that painting the door is the entire door. A misunderstanding that was solved once it was brought up. We also had some issues in cabinet painting as the doors were closed before fully drying. When opened, paint was removed. This was brought up and was grossly resolved.
Here is a summary of the work:
Hardwood flooring-Looks great but had issues with the staining of the stair nose. This was corrected. They had to do a lot of work securing the sub-floor, which I thought meant silencing creaks. One creak was fixed and the other is right at the base of my stairwell. I was told this is due to the beams in my home, but they would check. I asked later about it as I still heard the noise and didn't notice anything to suggest the wood was taken up for the problem to be checked, but was told it was inspected and is the beam...
Painting in home-Walls and ceiling are great but doors and molding look like spots were missed.
Staining/painting of banisters-We have dark on top and bottom with white spindles. We had an issue with drying time and drip spots but was ultimately resolved. Looks great. Stains from banisters were noticed elsewhere in the house like on doors.
Kitchen cabinet-there was some back and forth with this because of the peeling of paint. Even when pointed out, not all was resolved. We also agreed to the painting and install of about 2 ft of crown molding on the top of a cabinet where it was missing, but this was not done.
The quality of work was ok, as I had to point out issues that needed to be resolved, and some were not. It got to the point where my wife and I were just ready to be finished with the entire process. Overall, the grade is a B- because of this and because the work was not as thorough as I had expected. Today I even went over some things that weren't fully completed and cleaning carpet from shoe stains.
 I reached out to Anthony for another job involving the installation of a pedestal sink, and painting plus installing shoe molding and 1/2 rounds. This is the powder room I had hardwood installed also, but when the sink/vanity was removed, some of the molding and rounds were not painted or installed on the sides after being told we were acquiring a pedestal sink for the room. I wanted to use Tony Touch again because I believe they have a great rep and maybe the communication was the predominant issue with my job. And he does work with you.
I just suggest being very detailed and descriptive when getting a quote for a job, ask questions, and inspect the work.

"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."

"After a kitchen and family room renovation, the crew did an excellent job painting the rooms. We also needed a precise color match with our cabinets for trim work and it was spot on. The color consultation provided by Matt was so worth it. Everyone loves the color he advised is to choose.

They were professional, clean, and meticulous with their painting. Highly recommend."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.

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.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.
