"Joe comes to give an estimate immediately. His work is excellent. He also had ideas to make my ideas even better. He is thorough and very professional. His motto is, "No problem." These jobs took time because they were really large, complicated and widespread throughout all three houses. He cleans up each day. I know I'll call him again when I need anything painted or power washed at my house."

"We just had our entire home painted by Art Work Painting (approx. 4000 sq ft). We could not be happier. The process was fantastic from beginning to end, from estimate to completion and the price was reasonable. The owner, Sergio, was there on time for our quote appt and gave me his quote right then and there. No one else I got estimates from did that. His crew was fantastic! They were here bright and early every day until the project was done (with Sundays off of course). They cleaned up everyday and put everything back the way they found it. I honestly can't say enough good things about Art Work Painting. I would hire them again and have already recommended them to some of my real estate clients!"

"It has been almost a year since the work was done and as anticipated, the same cracks have reappeared in the same locations. Why you may wonder?, because instead of taping the areas that possessed cracks and then skim coating over them, Mike decided that all they would need would be the skim coating. WRONG. Paid over $1000 for less than 12 total hours of labor. Mike and his helper never worked for more than 3 hours in a day and did not complete the project in the time fame promised. In fact, it took more than a week longer than anticipated. After refusing to provide a written estimate (my mistake in proceeding but I was in a hurry to get it done), Mike became rude and insistent that he be paid PRIOR to the completion of the project. Neither Mr. Kenton or Mike had communicated this is any form. After this little fit of temper, I rescinded my offer to have him paint the room as well. A lost opportunity for more business. Mr. Kenton was apprised of the situation and informed me that Mike does his own estimating and that he wouldn't intervene. Mike was unprofessional and did not do what he told me would be done at the end of his time on this job. I hope that Mr. Kenton will reconsider having Mike tarnish his companies reputation."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. 

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.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

Yes, you can put wallpaper in a bathroom, but whether it's a good idea depends on several factors. Because bathrooms are high-humidity areas, it's crucial to choose a water-resistant wallpaper, such as one made of vinyl. Proper wall preparation is also critical to ensure the paper adheres well, even after many steamy showers. The wallpaper's placement also affects its longevity; it will hold up better on an accent wall or away from direct water contact, rather than immediately next to a shower. A well-ventilated bathroom will yield the best results.
