"I hired them to install Tile walls Tile Floor, for a Curbless Shower in a Bathroom Remodeling Project. We had a couple minor issues with material delivery, however that was the vendors fault not Owens Flooring. I spoke with Andy the owner and he was very apologetic for the delay even though it was not his fault. He gave the owner a substantial discount on their final bill for any inconvenience it may have caused them. I would definitely recommend them for your Tile project. In fact, I have another bathroom project coming up and they have the job."

"MAJOR work was done on my moms house by Ryan's Painting and his crew! Tom Ryan choose colors that are trendying and gave the whole house - (which is living room, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchen a fresh modern look and feeling of spaciousness. , They removed window A/C units to do moldings and window trims.. They ripped up old rugs to get to the hardwood floors underneath and stained them with a color that made the rooms pop with appeal. They powerwashed the outside cement and white marble patio bringing it back to its original luster and shine. Whatever they used on the basement floor made it look AMAZING. They worked professionally all day long everyday for over three weeks to get the house ready and cleaned up every night, even knowing they would be back the next day. I would so high recommend Tom Ryan for his professionalism and dedication to his job and his pricing came in more than reasonable. Will absolutely hire for any further jobs."

"We had our entire new 3k+ square ft home’s interior, including trim painted and it turned out fantastic! Martha, Tony and crew were exceptional. Not only was the ease of doing business, the cost of the project, and professionalism all great but the quality and meticulousness was over the top. They did so good that we kept them on to do all of the cabinets in our home. They also removed some built-in furniture and repaired the trim etc as well as fixed some ceiling damage caused by our movers. It all looks brand new. We couldn’t be happier with AMC and will definitely employ them again and recommend them for sure."

"Roberto is the best in the business! I have used other people in the past and had to have the door redone the next year! Not with Roberto! He only uses high quality weather resistant products and pays attention to detail. He contained his interior fumes and workspace very professionally and was a joy to work with. He may not be the cheapest quote you get, but you get what you pay for with Roberto! Quality!"

"We hired Messer & Sons to paint our house at Oak Island. Living 300 miles away, we had to rely on referrals as we did not know personally anyone to hire. We HIGHLY recommend Messer and Sons as they were easy to work with, did high quality work, and price their work fairly. You will not be disappointed if you rely on them! Roger & Sherry J."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

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

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.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

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.
