"Overall the price seemed fair, but I felt like I had to probe to get important details rather than them being explicitly explained and discussed up front. Some of the questions I had to ask about included 'What type of paint is used?' and 'What will you do with furniture?' While we were upfront about needing to make a decision regarding who to hire, the bid came in a day later than promised (and again, only after I asked a second time for it). I also asked about a 10% coupon that is mentioned on Angie's List and was told it was automatically included, yet there was no itemization for it in the bid. I recognize that I have fairly high expectations when it comes to communication and level of detail provided by companies I hire, so that is something to consider when reading this review. I am sure they would have done a fair job, although I doubt the quality of the paint they use (Pro Mar 200) compared to Duration or Cashmere.

"Started on time, had some rain delays, but no one can paint in the wet. David, the owner, communicated with us regularly about said delays, and his crew always showed up when he said they would. His workers were at all times polite, accommodating and professional. Cleanup afterword was good, and some small things that needed attention were handled immediately. Our house looks great, which is the point, isn't it?
So refreshing to have contractors do what they are hired to do and do it on time, on budget and correctly."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.
