"

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!"

"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."

"Reggie was prompt, showed up exactly as scheduled.  He spent the normal 2-3 days on the Drywall work (applying, drying, sanding).  And also sanded and painted walls that did not require drywall work.  Very efficient and best painter I've seen.  I always get a compliment from friends and family regarding how nice the interior paint is (especially on the crown molding, hearth and baseboards...the hardest and most important areas in my opinion).  Reggie has an eye for detail as he fully explained what I could expect in the end (considering the interior is more than 50 years old), and he paid equal attention to it's execution.  My expectations were met and exceeded."

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.

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.

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.

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.
