We are a small woman owned company with a focus on delivering high-quality results. Whether it's a paint color refresh or an organization overhaul, we have the skills and passion to help clients achieve the beautiful space they dream about.

"I am so pleased with Erikas results. I had tired white wire shelving in my closet when we purchased our home, and I was looking for a new custom setup. She asked tons of questions, helped me focus on what and how items should be stored, and walked me though beautiful closet systems. Unfortunately, custom is simply out of my budget. But she came up with a plan that keeps my closet easy to maintain, and is very pretty! She really took the time to address my storage needs and now everything fits easily. She installed everything herself. The wire shelving is gone and I am proud to show it off. I plan to work with her again."

Painting and Papering for 30 years,with most of my work in residential settings.I work as a sub-contractor for new home construction with builders and designers. I also travel in the winter and work in Iowa and Arizona. I will provide a written bid and the time allowed for the project. Materials can be included or bought by the homeowner or builder,which ever is preferred. I asked for the material costs up front.The labor costs due on completion of work.

"I can't believe how fortunate I was to find Mary Jo on Angie's List. She is a professional from start to finish and her work is impeccable -- FAR above my expectations. I was so satisfied, I asked her to come back and paint my living and dining room ceilings. Once again, the job was done to perfection. You can't go wrong with her doing the job."

Our Work Is Our Art. Seacoast Paint Professionals, L.L.C. is your painting company for Southern Maine and New Hampshire. Out of Eliot, Dana and John have a passion for working with homeowners and creating smooth, protected surfaces. Together, the two have completed over 300 interior & exterior painting projects in Southern Maine and New Hampshire.

"We needed someone to finish the paint job on our new living room and we were anxious to have it done within the week to accommodate expected guests. John agreed to fit us in a few days after I called and estimated that the job would take 2 days of work. He arrived punctually and worked hard. He did a good job painting a difficult room with lots of molding and exposed beams. He only charged me for 9 hours rather than the 16 I was fearing, and made a point of not counting the first 15 minutes ("because I would normally have come out and done an estimate, but we just talked over the phone"). He cleaned up diligently (I did find more paint splatters than I would like, but this was a relatively minor problem). He was always courteous and explained his comings and goings so we knew when to expect him. This was a small job, but important to me to get done quickly. I would definitely call him again when and if we take on painting other rooms in the house."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you cannot wallpaper over existing wallpaper. It’s possible to wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but vinyl-coated wallpaper is much more prevalent in homes, so you generally shouldn’t put new wallpaper over existing wallpaper. Adding a layer of wallpaper over vinyl-coated paper will lead to poor adhesion, leaving behind bubbles and imperfections in your wall. Plus, wallpapering over vinyl-coated wallpaper can lead to mold growth, which can be hazardous to your health. It’s usually best to hire a local wallpaper removal service to handle the task to avoid these issues.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if you select wallpaper that is designed to be paintable. This type of paper is meant to add texture to walls. Alternatively, if you have old wallpaper you’d like to cover up, you can often paint over that instead of removing it. However, it needs to be smooth, damage-free, and non-textured. Otherwise, any bumps, tears, and texture will show through the paint.

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. 

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. 

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.
