"Trevor did a great job. I chose a peel and stick wallpaper which is more difficult to hang than traditional wallpaper but Trevor proved to be excellent dealing with this type of wall paper. I highly recommend Trevor to anyone looking for someone to hang wallpaper for them."

Albert?s man came in at 9:30am.  He had the wallpaper and the glue removed by noon, the walls patched (my walls didn?t need much patching) and primed by 2:30pm and the main coat of paint completed by 4:00pm.  He didn?t hesitate when I asked him to also paint/freshen up the trim.  He even walked in with trim paint in his hand and asked about it before I asked.  He did a fantastic job that I refuse to do myself and I do a lot of my own home repair and upgrading.  He covered my new cabinets and countertops to protect them.  He cleaned everything and left no mess of any kind.



I highly recommend Albert?s team of good hard workers that take the time to do the job right and attention to detail.  I?ll be calling them back in a few months to repaint my entire family room.  Thank you Albert for the great job.

"Bo is very professional, very polite, and just an all-around great guy. He did a great job pressure washing my aluminum sided house, fixed a sagging gutter, removed some mildew from my deck, and was wonderful to work with. Will absolutely hire again!"

"Mike was very professional from the first phone call. He came that evening when he said he would to give us a estimate.
We originally called for a estimate on staining our fence front and back and after talking with Mike we also asked him to pressure wash the house. He came when he said he would and did everything we asked, he even went the extra mile and stained our yard swing the same color as the fence.
We were so happy with the job he did on the fence we then asked him to stain our deck, we had tried to stain it on our own last year and had really made a mess. He had to work really hard to get the stain off but he did a great job and our deck looks so good.
It was a pleasure to work with Mike and we are very pleased with the work he did and will definitely use him again. He is prompt and does a high quality job. Our fence and deck look great and we have received compliments from friends and neighbors, we highly recommend him.

"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."

"I have already referred them to multiple people. They are fantastic. They are super quick and very punctual. They painted and cleaned up everything in a four day period. They did 2 coats and I used different colors, so it wasn't all one color. Everytime I came in, they were doing everything they were supposed to be doing. You could not tell they had been there other than the walls had been painted when they were done. They did all the work between the hours of 9:00 am and 3:00 pm., with a crew of 3. The price included the paint. The only downfall I have is that their paint seems to lose some color when I wipe it down, but after it dries it looks like it did. But I am concerned that the paint is wiping off slowly in the areas that I used their paint. I do tell everyone they are fantastic, just buy your own paint. They will subtract the price of the paint off their quote if you get your own. They will even pick up the paint for you if you order your own and they just make it easy for you to get work done. She will also break the quotes down per room for budgeting."

"G&E did very professional work and took extra time and care to help us prep and clean up. They painted areas with very tall ceilings and the quality of their work was very good! They are good communicators, had fair pricing and were kind to our kids while they worked in our home. We're grateful for the their help in transforming the look of the inside of our home. We would highly recommend."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. 

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.
