"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.

"I hired Rick and the crew from Veterans Roofing to replace the roofing on my home. From start to finish, it was an exceptional experience. When I first decided to get an estimate, I called and left Rick a message. Rick promptly returned my call. We discussed what I was looking for and we scheduled the date to measure my house for the estimate. Rick provided a comprehensive estimate of the job. His estimate was better the other two estimates I had received and then he gave a 10% military discount on top of it. So the best price got even better! 
When the day came to begin the job, Rick and a full man crew showed up on time and ready to work. The team hit the ground running, immediately putting down tarps to protect my plants and bushes.This would also assist them later with clean up. While the crew was setting up, Rick walked around my home with me discussing the job, pointing out little nuances of the project and answering all of my questions. 
The crew was great! They were extremely polite and considerate. The crew was always busy. I never saw anyone just standing around. Cleanup was a continuous process. Once the tear off was complete, the old roofing was loaded in a truck and out of the way. A member of the crew used a magnetic device to pick up all the nails in my yard and then picked up by hand any small pieces of shingle that may not have ended up in the truck. The crew on the roof was meticulous. In each area they worked in, I observed them snapping a chalk line to ensure the rows were perfectly straight and aligned with the area to the left and right. The crew worked hard until dusk, then made arrangements to be back the next morning to finish up the job. Again Rick was on site when the crew arrived. It was important to me to see his involvement in the job and oversight of the crew (leadership). In a few short hours the crew was done and gone, leaving me with a beautiful new roof , with an awesome cleanup job.
I choose IKO architectural shingles for my roof. IKO provided many color options. I narrowed it down to 3 colors. Rick suggested Dual Brown to compliment the color of our house and my wife agreed. They look great! I am extremely happy with the difference these shingles make in the appearance of my house! 
I will use Rick and Veterans Roofing for any home improvement project I have. I highly recommend you call Veterans Roofing if you want a quality job at a fair price.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

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.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.
