"I checked them out prior to hiring and got glowing reports. Leo and his crew are experts in their craft. Honest, dependable, friendly, efficient, trustworthy, on time, and did a fabulous job in record time! Nice, nice people! It was a big job in a large home with lots of very difficult wallpaper removal. Perfect wall repair and then great paint job. I am recommending High Rollers to everyone I know in the real estate industry."

"I would without any hesitation, recommend FreshLook Painting for any of your painting needs. We are relatively new to Minnesota, and didn't have a lot of knowledge about local contractors, but we certainly were pleased that we found Ryan and his crew! From start to finish, everything went well. We are super excited about the brand new look to our house, It was transformed from the 1980's to a modern looking home! Ryan knows what he was talking about! He gave some very helpful guidance on the color selection. His advice was spot on, because the color turned out to be exactly what we were envisioning. He also walked around the house with me and offered suggestions on what to paint the main house color (blue-gray) and what to paint the trim color (white) to help accent certain features, or in some cases, disguise other less desirable features. The crew did an incredible job. I'm still amazed how they made some of the window frames look brand new. The crew was friendly and respectful. We have received many compliments and most people can't believe it's the same house. You can't go wrong with Ryan and his crew!"

"Brennan was very responsive and punctual. His painters were able to do the work from the exterior of the house without removing the sashes, so there was no concern about lead paint entering the house. He was able to remove a huge semi-permanent window air conditioning unit for us as well. Near the end of the project I noticed some areas (only visible from inside the house) that could use some extra paint and let Brennan know. He was quick to respond. The paint job is great and holding up nicely."

"Perfection! I would hire Felipe again in a heart beat! He and his crew did a fantastic job! Very professional, on time, and very friendly. I had an outlet in my wall that I didn't want and at the last minute asked them to removed it and repair the wall. Very easy going and accommodating. I had bumpy walls from removing built in cabinets and another painting company said it wasn't fixable and I had to live with it since my house was older. Not Felipe. He said no problem and they did a beautiful job smoothing out the wall. I also had a medallion I wanted to add to my light fixture in my entry that is , I'm not sure, maybe 24 feet high. No one else would tackle this because the chandelier was wide and they couldn't reach where the light attached to the ceiling. Felipe angled two ladders and three guys held on to it so that they could attach the medallion. It looked like a cirque du soleil act but they did it! No task was impossible for these guys! I will definitely use them again in the future."

"I am so very happy with the results from 360 Painting! They were able to start on my job right away, and completely transformed my living space while working on a deadline for completion that was extremely aggressive. The staff was very courteous, professional, and they treated my home as if it were their own. I plan to engage them again for additional work."

"Everything was done better and faster than I expected! They were very knowledgeable about paints and the process. They even took on a few extra projects I needed painted such as some exterior cement wall and our porch swing. Very kind and professional!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

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.

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.
