"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."
"This is the third time we have used All Aspects and, as before, John and his crew did great work. This job required extensive preparation (wallpaper stripping, oil primer, skim coating). Now the walls look perfect. John really communicates with his customers which is very helpful."
"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!"
"-- MHI Painting did a great job with my project from estimate to completion. Mike was willing to explain what he wanted to do and why he wanted to do it. I’m not a DIY person, so hearing his explanations helped me understand his proposal. -- The job consisted of repainting kitchen and family room in the same colors which I really liked but were old and needed freshening. Billy took switch plate covers to the paint supplier to get a match. It also included painting new wood trim around a recently replaced patio door. The workspaces painted included tray and coved ceilings. -- Billy’s team did an excellent job of painting and clean-up and showed respect for my property. -- This is the second time I have used MHI and they have now done both exterior and interior work for me. I was highly satisfied with both experiences. -- I have and will continue to recommend MHI to my friends."
"We were very pleased with the quality and detail of the work. Prior to the work, several of our windows wouldn't open (the previous owners had painted or caulked the shut). The guys from Gabriel Painting cleaned up all of the windows and made sure that they opened when they were done. We had some difficulty getting in touch with them by phone and email, so it could take awhile to get a response. However, the quality of the work was excellent and we will definitely hire them again in the future."
"Nick came out quickly for a quote on exterior painting for all the wood, aluminum window trim, gutters, etc. Also needed some wood repair/replacement. Nick's cost estimate was good, the team was great, and the quality of the work was excellent. The work was done in less than a week. I highly recommend them."
"Joe and his crew patched and painted the entire interior of our home and did a fantastic job! We live in a different state and after our tenant moved out, we were ready to put our long-rented house on the market. We got a lot of quotes for the work, but ultimately trusted Joe with the job. We appreciated his expert advice that struck the appropriate balance for keeping the job economical for us, but still ensuring that the work was done right for the future owners. He was efficient, trustworthy and great about keeping us posted on his progress. The before and after pictures from our realtor (and 5 offers over list price!) spoke volumes about the quality of work that Joe and his crew do. The house looked amazing when he was finished."
"larry was incredibly helpful and professional. we had multiple areas of plaster that needed to be repaired before we closed on our home. even when we had to add 2 additional areas to plaster, they were glad to help. even after the work was completed, he stopped back by the house to provide an estimate for additional painting. He was always available by phone and quick to get our work done. we just had some plumbing work done and I have already called back to get the additional work done."
To layer wallpaper over wallpaper, inspect your existing wallpaper for problem areas. Damaged wallpaper should not be covered. If it’s okay to proceed, prep by turning off the electricity and removing any outlet and switch covers. Dust your walls and lightly rinse them to prevent the existing paper from peeling. Apply primer, then apply your new wallpaper.
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.
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.
Yes, but professional services ensure secure installation, accurate leveling, and protection against wall damage, especially for heavy or valuable items.
If you need a stronger magnetic surface, or you need to use a different type of paint in the room (like waterproof paint in a damp basement), there are other accessible options. You could fit a steel panel over the wall, try magnetic wallpaper, or apply chalk paint instead.
If you want an inexpensive shortcut, hang a pinboard or chalkboard on your wall. These removable options are ideal if you’re a renter who can’t repaint or plan to move in the near future.
