"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

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

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.

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.

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.
