"In March----I selected Lockwood based on Angie's List ratings.  Ken Lockwood came out to give estimate.  He is very nice and very professional.  He examined what needed to be done in detail so he could give an accurate bid.  He let me know when he could do the work and then provided an exact schedule later.  His team stripped wallpaper in dining room and master bedroom and painted.  They did an excellent job.  We also asked them to do some touch up work on some baseboard and molding in a few rooms.  This was in the bid.  This part of the job was not as well done as the rest.  When I called this to his attention Ken had a couple people out to fix it and they did a good job then.
In May---we decided to get the wallpaper below the chair rail removed and painted along with the hall bath where it too
required wallpaper removal and painting.  We also had a front door entrance gel stained and clear coated outside only.  They did excellent job but did have to ask them to come back out and fix a little bit of paint cracking around the bathroom wall fixture. Also the bathroom mirror needed to be put back up. When they came back I asked if they put 2 coats of clear coat on the front door.  Rob said he would put another coat on just to be sure.  He also did a little more staining on it.  It really looks good.  All their work was excellent by time I paid.  I would have rated an A instead of B on quality but for fact I did have to ask them to come back out on a few small items.  To their credit they did so quickly and did and were nice to deal with.  I would use them again.  I have referred Lockwood to a friend who used him and they too were very pleased with their work.

"Excellent job painting our house. The job was done quickly, with great attention to detail. They even came back to paint a small piece of plastic trim that needed special paint that would adhere to the plastic. We really appreciate their effort and would certainly recommend Dettmann-Claus Painting."

"I own a condominium that had been absolutely trashed by the former tenants. It has been incredibly discouraging (not to mention costly) to get everything fixed and spruced up. Larry, his son, and John were very helpful. They arrived on time and got right to work. They painted the place from top to bottom (literally - including the basement, which had hideous 1970's era brown wood paneling). They also helped with some important drywall repairs and removed stubborn wallpaper from one bathroom. How they got that bathroom to look so good afterward is a mystery to me but you would never know there had been wallpaper there before. The walls are absolutely smooth - no bumps, no rough patches. Gorgeous.  The basement was absolutely transformed by the new bright paint and it will really be a usable rec room now.
Larry and his crew worked incredibly fast and were neat and professional. Before they helped me I hated to go over to the condo to work on repairs because it was so discouraging. Now thanks to the impeccable paint job I can see light at the end of the tunnel.
 I will definitely hire Larry again to help with painting my own house. It was a pleasure to work with him. Do note that he is busy, so you may have to wait a bit to get on his calendar, but I would guess that is because he is much in demand. It is worth the wait.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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

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.

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.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.
