"
     I purchased a 4-plex that  was built about 1949  which over the decades  had  several different shades of  paint  on the trim.  Many years of neglect  resulted in peeling paint, dry rot and warped wood.   On 4 September 2014   Dave & Lynn arrived promptly to give a free estimate.  They did a through inspection of the exterior of the house and  Dave wrote a proposal, which I felt was reasonable  considering the amount of work that was going to be involved.
     Being it was late summer and they were already scheduled into the fall I understood that work would not begin until spring of  2015.  A very wet spring and summer delayed the start of work even longer than either of us had expected.  The last of  July they began by pressure washing the exterior of the house and the deck.   On 4 August  the labor intensive work of  the next  four weeks began.  They started by removing the storm windows.  Followed by scrapping & removing loose paint, sanding,  treating and applying oil base primer to bare wood,  removed old caulking,  re-glazed  the windows and applied caulking to fill holes and gaps in and around thirty-two  double hung window casings and frames.   As I stated before the exterior had been neglected for several years and the  windows frames were in terrible shape  requiring  hours of work  before paint could be applied.   They scrapped, and removed loose paint  from the  fascia, soffits and vents;  followed by  scraping loose paint, sanding  and  priming one of the  six exterior doors.  The other five had been replaced  or had been protected from the weather so did not require much prep.. 
     When the prep was completed  they  painted  32 double hung window casings and frames, 6 exterior doors,  3 awnings over basement windows, fascia and soffits, the exterior basement  and foundation walls.   The project was completed when they put the final coat on the deck and re-hung the storm windows.
      I found Dave, Lynn and their work crew to be polite,  clean,  on time,  quiet steady workers and striving to do a job well.    I now have a house with a new fresh look.

"It has been a pleasure to do business with Ahmed construction. They provide very fair price on bidding. The administrative project manager Mr Albert is a hard working guy. Him along with the Mr Judy did the decking and replaced some studs on an addition remodel project. I highly recommend Ahmed construction and I will hire them again for any future project"

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, 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.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.
