     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.

"My kitchen was old and outdated. Joe came and gave me some amazing suggestions based on my budget. He repainted my cabinets and they looked brand new! He removed my old countertops and created a butcher block counter from scratch. He also added tiles to the backsplash area and all the way around the sink and counters as well. Installed a new garbage disposal and replaced the wood under the sink where I had a leak. Then he painted the kitchen walls and the ceiling. He was so professional and went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied. I could not believe the outcome and how much bigger the kitchen looked. I will continue to use him for all my future projects!!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

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.

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.
