"We contracted with JAM Home Services (Jeff) to repair and paint walls, ceilings and closets in the living/dining room and 3 bedrooms of our house. We also asked about installing base board where missing/damaged and also installing shoe molding in all rooms (we had just had carpeting removed and hardwood floors refinished), While his was not lowest estimate for the project, we were impressed with his knowledge, suggestions for successful completion and his professionalism. At our request, he suggested several colors that would work with the hardwood floors. We agreed on a start date, which had to be firm, to meet a specific timeline to place our house on the market. A week before start date, he checked in with us to be sure we still on schedule. As it happened, other projects were already completed, so he started a week earlier than planned and completed the project withing the 4 days he had originally estimated. We could not have been more pleased with the result! Each day, the work space was cleared and cleaned, except for drop cloths left to protect floors. He repaired a baseball-sized hole in the wall in one bedroom, repaired a crack in the plaster above a door in the living room, filled all nail holes. The paint on all ceilings, wall and closets was smooth and even - no messy corners or bleeding edges. The new base boards and and shoe molding were such great enhancements to the rooms. We highly recommend JAM Home Services for anyone with home repair or improvement project needs!"

"I want them to paint the ceiling in 3 rooms, a bathroom and also some of the walls. I have only lined up the job and they haven't come out to get the job done. They said they had other jobs to do before they would come out to my house. They are supposed to come before Thanks Giving. They have been really good so far. They quoted about a 100 $ for a room, but I am not sure about the total amount."

"Mike is wonderful. He  was prompt and very skilled.  He arrived when he said he would, and didn't leave until the job was finished. He saw that the floorboards were a bit scuffed up - he repainted them without our asking him, and without cost to us.  I will use Gabriel Painting for every painting job I need done. Absolutely fabulous."

They are neat and completed the job in a timely manner. I have had Precision painting do work for me in the past and have recommended him to many of my family and friends."

"I asked Trinity Professional Services to come to our home

and give me a quote on removing the carpet and refinish the wood floors (under

the carpet) in a 1200sq ft home.  When I

had other service providers over to give me a quote, they gave me a quote which

included sanding and refinishing the floors which would cost about $5,000 to

$6,000

When Chris and Brenda came to the home for the quote, they

mentioned that they have done this type of work many times and suggested to

just remove the carpet and based on how it looks, just clean and polish it.

This type of service would cost around $500 instead of $5,000.  In addition, they removed all the tack boards

and cut up the carpet and padding into small pieces to the city would pick them

up in the regular weekly trash pickup.

It is very refreshing and surprising that a company would be

so honest and so understanding to offer suggestions that can save you a lot of

money. Sure, sanding the floors and putting a new finish on them would be

great, but right now we are on a tight budget and saving $4,500 for floors that

look good too!  How can you turn that down?

Well, after the carpet was removed the floors were cleaned

and polished and they look great and only a fraction of the cost!  

If you want a professional company that works hard and does

what they quote you and on top of that make practical recommendations that not

only make your home look good but save you a TON of money, then you need to

contact Trinity Professional Services!

In addition to removing the carpet, cleaning and polishing

the floors in the 1200 sq ft home, we also hired their team to clean all the

wood doors, baseboards, door frames, closets, etc with TSP.  We recently bought the home. It appeared they

smoked in the some of the rooms, so we wanted to get rid of any orders prior to

painting the walls.  Chris and his team

did a great job cleaning every room (and closet) in the house with TSP which

included the wood doors, wood trim, baseboards, ceilings, and window sills.  The woodwork looks great and the house smells

clean and fresh! 

Thank you Trinity Services for all your work cleaning our new home! "

"The wall paper removal was done first.  Two crew members removed the wall paper in a bedroom, a bathroom, and foyer in one day.  They were skilled and efficient at the job.  I was relieved because I have done wall paper removal myself in the past and it took me days to do a small amount.  They needed a special tool to remove one wall of paper in a second bedroom, which was too well adhered, and  they did that the following day as well as wall repairs.  They repaired some cracked and damaged plaster in the livingroom,  replaced dry wall around a wall furnace in the family room,  repaired any ceiling cracks.  Ken did  restoration work where drywall was missing in the basement, using sheet rock, "mud" and sanding  to make a smooth surface as well as in one of the bedrooms.  He replaced missing molding.   Then they had a five man crew and everything moved like lightning, first ceilings, doors and trim, then the next day walls and closets.      I was there when they painted the walls,  a lot of activity with people working in every room, everything being transformed at once.   The next day they had a two man crew painting base moldings and finishing some areas.    I think the price was very reasonable because there was a lot of work done, including repairs and preparation and it was good to see old problem areas successfully resolved.   ( Some of the painting had to wait to be completed while some restoration  work was being finished but it has now all been done. )  Everything is vastly improved with the fresh coat of paint and my house is looking much more ready to list for sale."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

White walls are considered a classic and timeless look and will most likely always be in style. A white wall easily blends into any type of home decor style which makes it a suitable option for most homeowners. Another appealing quality about white walls is that if it's not a color someone is going for, the color is easy to paint over.

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.

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.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.
