"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."

"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!

"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

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

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

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. 

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.

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.
