"They were awesome! I got 2 painters for a day deal for $880 and bought $200 in paint (7 gallons). I wanted our large basement and guest room painted. We didn't think it would be possible to paint it all in 8 hours and planned on having to probably finish it ourselves. Well, they painted everything PERFECTLY in 7 hours! They even filled in all the holes and cracks. Also, I contacted them Friday afternoon and they were here Monday morning. Save yourself some money and get the painting deals, buy the paint, remove the outlet covers, and move furniture yourself. I got quotes from other companies for the same area and they ranged between $1500-$1800 (included paint). Also, a friend of mine got a painting deal from another company on Angie's List and wasn't as pleased (they were fast and sloppy). Sheldon & Sons were great and I don't see a single issue. We had Kevin and William and I would definitely request them again."

"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."

"My job was simple enough, my house needed to be repainted. It's mostly brick but there is enough wood to be non-trivial. The estimate using three colors was $3,800. That's what it cost. The crew showed up on time and did a great job over three days. There was a slight misunderstanding about what color was supposed to go where. Anthony and his guys corrected the problem no questions asked at no extra cost. It was great to work with this company.

"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

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

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.

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.

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.
