"Albert was very prompt on the day that he came to do the estimate. He was very professional. We scheduled the work to start on the following Monday at 9 a.m. I had to call at 9:30 when he didn't show up. He was at my house within half an hour and was very apologetic. We had discussed the possibility of them starting on Saturday and he forgot to write our appointment time down. He had planned to only have one worker but due to the misunderstanding on the appointment day and time, he made up for it by bringing two people to strip the wallpaper to ensure that the job was completed in the two days allotted. The workers were very courteous. The second day only required one person to complete the work and she was very efficient but she did come a half hour later than she had told me the day before. She completed the job in just  few hours. I had not planned for the baseboard to also be painted so had not bought any paint for that part of the job. She called Albert who had her go to pick up some paint to do the baseboards at no extra charge. She put the room completely back together, tank on the toilet, towel rack back on the wall and asked for the switchplate and outlet plate which I had removed prior to them coming, so that she could put them back in place as well. The room was cleaned of all debris. I am very happy with the job that Albert's crew did and would definitely hire him again.

"It was an excellent experience.  Came out and saw area I needed painted and gave me a quote.  The work done went beyond my expectations!  He was punctual and went above and beyond on the quality of the work he provided for me.  The room looks amazing....the work done has added not only comfort for me in my home, but has increased the value of my homes worth.  Would definitely have them come out for any other work I may need in future.  Have already told a few friends about the work done and sent pictures! Thanks again it was so nice knowing that the work was being completed on time, in a clean manner, and the quote given was accurate for what charges I had :)"

"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 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.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

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. 

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.
