"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

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

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.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

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.
