"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. "
"In September of this year my wife and I bought a home near Cedar Mountain. We had a few things that we wanted to get done to the house before we moved in. From Florida we researched contractors as well as through friends in our new community. I was not prepared for the casual attitude of many of the workmen I spoke with. Out of all of them, there was only one who showed up and did the work as promised, Mr. Wade Morris. Despite having to drive and extraordinarily long way to our home, Wade arrived every morning at 8:30 until the job was done. I had to return to Florida but I left Wade a key to finish up. When I got back to NC I was pleased to find the house clean and the work done to a high standard of professionalism. Little extras, like painting the bedroom baseboards (which was not part of our agreement) made me appreciate Wade and Gaye all the more.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly.
When installing new steel doors, it’s smart to do other projects simultaneously. This can lower costs, limit mess, and help your home look and function better. For example, replacing a damaged doorframe is wise when planning door installations.
Also consider changing broken or worn-out locks, repairing or replacing weather stripping, and updating handles. Painting, staining, or upgrading the trim around the door can also improve energy efficiency, security, and aesthetics.

Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it’s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You’ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.
