"I contacted a number of firms asking for a quote on awning installation and most did not even reply, even some that were well recommended. Only one other firm besides QHI responded, and they were booking 6-8 weeks out.
Bill Willings sent me an email reply on 01/01/16 indicating that he'd come by on 01/02/16 to look at the job. He was on time for the job review. The first thing he did was to give me a copy of his certificate of insurance. After he left I called his agency and the representative confirmed that his insurance was in force and warmly said that "he was a good one [a good client]." I'm an insurance agent so I knew that that response was a very positive omen. 
The street I live on has strong wind gust issues at times - once I  came home after a storm to find the front storm door lying in three pieces on the front yard. The house is sided with vinyl siding. We discussed how to secure the awnings so that the wind could not rip them off because I did not think that just attaching the awnings via the bolts provided by the manufacturer would be sufficient. I had an idea, but Bill came up with a better one - removing some of the siding above the doors and attaching Azek horizontally and securing the awnings to the Azek. I had thought of doing this vertically but that would not have worked out. He gave me verbal quote and sent a confirming email with the written quote. The job was scheduled for 01/25/16. They were on time. The work took less time than expected Bill and his assistant Bob did a great job. Also they're both friendly.  
The price reflects, in part, the travel distance from Otisfield to Portland (about an hour one way), and that's fair. I would hire them again.

"We hired Inspire Home Services to remove the wallpaper, do necessary wall repairs, paint the walls, ceiling and trim in our guest room. The finished room is flawless. We were very impressed by the quality of her work, attention to detail and professionalism. She worked diligently, quietly and cleaned up at the end of each day. Iwould highly recommend her - we plan to hire her for 2 more rooms."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

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.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

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