"Clean Hands did a great job for me. They were flexible with when the painting was done. More importantly the job was done well and the walls looked great. There was a sloped ceiling with some smoke markings that they took care of painting, now the room looks good again."

"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs.

"My appointment was scheduled at 9am and two gentlemen, in a truck with a different company name, arrived at about 9:10am. I asked them if they were with Pro Green and they told me that they subcontract with them. The small bathroom that I wanted to have painted had one and a half walls with wallpaper and they gave me a quote of $800 to have the wallpaper removed and the walls ready to paint. I told them that I was going to hold off and got a refund for the $99. I got a quote of $400 from another gentlemen to have the wallpaper removed, walls prepped, the bathroom painted, electrical work done, and install the towel racks."

"Jason came out within a day of requesting a quote. Was very responsive to our needs in looking for a no VOC paint and obtaining a good price. He sent out a crew and was able to work around our needs with 2 kids running around the house. They got everything done in the time agreed upon. We're still waiting for them to come back to do touchups but that is a combo of their and our scheduling issues. Would definitely hire again and have already told the neighbors."

"I received an email that included a Angie's list coupon it was $1,499.00 for an Exterior House Painting package--Premium Paint included done by Churchill Painting and Renovations. I purchased the coupon on Mar 19, 2017. This coupon gave me 2,000 Square Feet of Exterior painting Prep and Minor repairs using Sherwin Williams Exterior SuperPaint. Included 2 coats, 1 color. This did not include Trim, gutters, fascia, boxing, windows, shutters, doors. If the exterior paint job was more than 2000 SQFT then each additional SQFT was $1.50/per SQFT more. The owner of Churchill Painting and Renovations, Cary, Came to my house on the 25th of March and we walked around talked about what they would do (i.e., pressure wash, fixing rotting wood (I had 4 areas of rotted wood that needed repaired), Prep and filling cracks and then painting 2 coats of Sherwin Williams Resilence paint doing two colors (trim and full exterior along with black paint on the front doors, railings and shutters. He provided me with an estimate of $2016.00 in addition to the coupon of $1499.00. For the painting process to get done we had to wait for weather to clear and in a week they came to the house and pressure washed the house. After the pressure wash was completed I noticed that you could actually see the masonary of the Hardy Plank showing through. That evening Cary called me to let me know that when they pressure washed the house it was apparent that the original paint job was never primed and that for the present paint job to be effective and last that the house would need two coats of primer. This added an additional 900.00 to the original contract. The cost of the Job now reached $4,415.00. I was not in a rush to get the house done and I let Cary know that if he had more pressing jobs he could get to them and get to me when they got a chance. So between weather and situations beyond anyone's control the prep work was done about 3 weeks later. Once the prep was done 3 days later the painting began and the job was complete in about 3 days. During the painting and prep further repair work was discovered which was repaired at a cost of $206.00. Leaving a grand total of the job being $4621.00. My Wife and I were extremely satisfied with the work. I gave a grade of C ( I wish there was a B- Grade) for the price because I believe the price was fair for the work performed and I am a cheapskate. I wish I just could have paid the original coupon price but I also wish I had a million dollars!!!!!!! So the price was definitely fair for the services provided. I gave a grade of B for the Quality only because when you look close at some of the trim work I noticed that there were slip ups and areas where siding paint ended up on the trim and other ways around. Also they were not the best at cleaning up chips and strips that were removed during the prep and paint portions of the job. Otherwise, it was a great JOB. My wife and I love the way it looks and was really impressed with the punctuality, professionalism and Responsiveness of the employees of Churchill Painting and Renovations. Thank you so much Cary and his team...."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

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.
