"I was, at fist, generally satisfied other than a tendency of theirs to make decisions for me without consulting me. A decision was made about the location of stairs from the porch without consulting me until after the posts were set in concrete. I would have made another choice but it was a done deal when I saw it. The porch has been a problem. One door was put on opening out only to hit an electric meter. I fixed that myself. Screens blew out of both doors. I fixed those myself and noticed they put screen over two places on each door where they could have secured it but didn't. Screens have been blown out of two wall panels by the wind. I emailed Mr McElroy about the problem and got no response. I fixed the two screens myself but I think I am going to have to re-screen as I can see three other places where the screen has come out. It appears to me they used the least expensive screen they could get and as little as possible. I am also disappointed at the number and size of the gaps between boards all over the porch. Wasps get in every day. One morning there were 9 wasps on the porch. I feel they hurried, cut corners and made arbitrary decisions to save themselves work and/or expense."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

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.

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.

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.
