"The owner, Jessica that I talked to was very professional and courteous. The guys initially came out before the scheduled date and had not called. I had not remove the deck furniture or grill that is connected to the house natural gas line. They said no problem and left and came back on the scheduled date. They were two young and courteous guys. They spent the day power washing the deck, then came back a few days later after the deck had totally dried to stain the deck. After they were done I looked at the deck from the ground, but it's hard to properly inspect a stained deck until it's dried so I could walk on it. The deck had never been stained before and I noticed, once I could walk on It, that between the boards were not stained and the under side of the railing had not been stained. Also, there were fingerprints of stain on the vinyl siding and the lattice going around the deck I so called and was told by Jessica that the underside of the railing isn't normally stained but she would send the guys back out to take care of my complaints. They came back, cleaned up the stain prints, stained the underside of the railing, stained between the the deck boards, then totally restained the deck which was more than I expected. So, while I wasn't happy with the initial job, they went out of their way to make things right. Became of that I will be calling them for future work.

"My house was in a need of a major face lift. In preparation for the approaching cold months, and inevitably spending more time in doors, we wanted to make sure that all of our major updates were finished before the cold Michigan weather came sweeping in to spoil the summer fun. So naturally it was decided that the time had come to remove the awful wallpaper in the den and master bathroom!
 I met with four contractors, Elysium's bid was admittedly higher in price. However, based on their outstanding reputation and the detail and clarity that their estimator brought to the table we signed the contract.
All of the work was completed as promised and within the given time frame. There were no nasty surprises when the materials invoice came and the ghastly wallpaper is gone for good. Looking forward to spending time in my updated den this winter, thank you Elysium for doing a great job!

"Reggie was able to come out and quote the job and fit me into his schedule the following week as I had an urgent need. They arrived on-time and worked efficiently over the two days that were projected. They had to do some wall and ceiling repairs, paint vaulted ceilings and walls of living/dining/kitchen and hall. One patch needed extra attention and Reggie arranged to come back and fixed it to my liking. Overall, great painters, very dependable and efficient. Thanks Lofton Pro Painting!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

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.

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.
