"Wonderful experience with OC Construction! Wallpaper was removed quickly. Patching & painting was then performed and looks wonderful. We unfortunately had to delay the project multiple times after wallpaper removal & patching due to our project & railing replacement. OC was “extremely” understanding to say the least. They were so accommodating. Would definitely hire & work with them again. Highly recommend!!"

"Scheduling was easy, I did everything over email. It was a little while before the crew came out - in 2 trips, one was for power washing prep, and 1 for the actual painting, but this was due to weather. The power washing I assumed would just be of the surfaces to be painted, but it looked like he removed the mold/mildew on the back siding of my house which was a pleasant surprise. The painting crew came about a week later and worked from 9am to about 7pm, completing the job. It turned out really nice, the wood was caulked and the painting made it look new again. I have no complaints and I'm happy with the results."

"5/5 Highly Recommend! I recently hired the 4 Seasons Painting & Drywall team for an interior painting project, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the initial communication, walkthrough to the final cleanup, they were the definition of professional. Chris, Will, Brad, Travis and Scott handled the entire job with great care, but what really stood out was their attention to detail. The lines are perfectly sharp, the coverage is flawless, and they took the time to ensure everything was prepped correctly. It’s rare to find a crew that delivers such high-quality work while being efficient and respectful of your home. If you're looking for painters who do the job right the first time, look no further!"

"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!"

"My experience in working with Mr. Jones and his painting crew was simply superb. My siblings and I needed to sell our family home, but many serious updates were needed before we listed it. Phil was very kind and patient with us when we had to reschedule a time or 2, due to unforeseen circumstances. The 2-story, 2,000 sq. ft. house had not been painted properly for many years, and needed extensive prep work, including the removal of wallpaper, the painting over of dated, dark paneling and and the fixing of a damaged ceiling. The Flawless Painting crew completed all of this work extremely well. Mr. Jones and his crew painted the house, inside and out, and it looks beautiful and brand new! All details were attended to. We listed the house when Phil's crew finished, and had a great offer within a few short days. I have to think that it was the beautiful paint job that sold the home. Flawless Painting Company is indeed Fabulous!"

"We had used Stohl's previously and contacted them on very short notice. Nathan worked us in to accommodate our need to complete renovations prior to the arrival of a houseguest. He did an excellent job that included recaulking of a previously installed bathroom sink as well as multiple coats to cover previous deep wall colors."

"Sonny and his team did a great job. Job was for all wood trim on a brick home & garage and small shed. It consisted of power washing, scraping and a coat of primer & a finish coat. Will definitely use again and recommend Advanced Painting."

"Great experience from start to finish. Tim did a good job with the estimate, explaining what he would do, the materials he would use, and why. MHI was not the low bid, but Tim's professionalism with the estimate made me confident that MHI would do the job correctly. We experienced a massive fishfly invasion the day Tim's team came to do the painting. Tim decided to take the removable pieces back to the shop to do the work. (This meant adding a round trip from St Clair Shores to Troy to the job). They used blowers and built a plastic tent around the one load bearing post that could not be removed to keep it fishfly free during the process. The repainted shutters and porch trim look great!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

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. 

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

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. 

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.
