"We had a great experience with Saumier’s! Robert and his crew showed up when they said they would and were all very respectful of our time and our home. Work was well done and on time. I highly recommend them and will use them for future projects myself."

"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."

"I hired Elysium based on online reviews for wallpaper removal in kitchen, foyer, stairwells and bathroom. I was quoted it would be 3 day project and price was good. A subcontractor was sent out, not Elysium painting. Well as far as wallpaper removal, they did not remove the glue but instead did a lot of sanding and plaster to cover the glue . The kitchen turned out nice and you could tell they took their time. As for the rest of the job, they hurried on the last day and painted over a lot of the glue, did not sand all the plaster down and only did 1 coat of paint without primer. It looked horrible. I called the subcontractor who was very apologetic and long story short he came out and fixed it. Elysium called and apologized as well. It ended up looking better but not as nice as I thought it would . While I was thankful they came and fixed it, overall I just wasn't too thrilled with the whole experience. There was not a lot of communication, always late, cancellations,dirty drop cloths, didn't do a great job sealing off my house to prevent sanding dust from getting everywhere, my whole house smelled like cigarettes as they took a break very often, different people everyday,overcharged me for paint but I just let that go because I was over it all . Very nice people but I would have taken my time to read reviews next time. After they got into the job they realized my walls were in pretty bad shape but I would have rather they stop and renegotiate with me to get the job done in a nice professional way and not try to make up labor costs on the paint."

"We hired Shane & Brian to paint the exterior of our house and appreciated working with them so much that we hired them again for some interior painting a month later. Their work is high quality, they communicate very well, and they go the extra mile and more to make sure you are satisfied with the work."

"We had Kori and his crew at PaintMaster Painting paint the exterior of our house in mid-September, 2017. From our initial interactions with Kori and his office assistant Angie, we were impressed with their promptness and professionalism. We set up a time for Kori to come out and quote the job. He arrived at exactly the time we had scheduled and provided us with a quote within just a couple of days following that first visit. Due to schedule rearrangements on their side, PaintMaster was able to begin on our job just one week after they originally came out for the estimate. They did a great job prepping the entire house by pressure washing all of the surfaces that were to be painted, and they even pressure washed our deck for us which we were not having them re-stain. All of this was included with the original estimate. Kori told us there would be no surprises, and there weren’t. The team kept us well informed of how our house painting was progressing. They cleaned up the entire job site each evening to the point that a casual observer would not have known that we were having any house work done. Kori took the extra time to get the color matching down correctly so that the house looks as close to its original color scheme as possible. In conversation, the team always seemed very knowledgeable about their trade. We were originally a bit concerned about having our house painted in early fall, with the risk of having cool damp mornings not conducive to painting. The PaintMaster crew took this into consideration, they kept an eye on weather conditions, and delayed starting some mornings until conditions were more favorable. In the end, we are very happy with how our house’s new paint job turned out. PaintMaster Painting finished the work ahead of schedule and below their original cost estimate. You read that right - they finished the house quicker than expected and with less paint than originally anticipated, so they were able to take a few hundred dollars off our final bill. Little details like that are what left us completely satisfied with our decision to go with PaintMaster Painting, and we would recommend them to anybody in the Greater Lansing area."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.
