How long does wallpaper last?

• <div><p>Wallpaper lasts an average of around <b>15 years</b>, 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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper</a>, 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.</p></div>

Are white walls going out of style?

• <div><p>White walls are considered a classic and timeless look and will most likely always be in style. A white wall easily blends into any type of home decor style which makes it a suitable option for most homeowners. Another appealing quality about white walls is that if it's not a color someone is going for, the color is easy to paint over.</p></div>

Should an accent wall be lighter or darker?

• <div><p>Deciding between a lighter or darker accent wall depends on the effect you’re going for. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-an-accent-wall.htm">Choosing an accent wall</a> in a lighter color will make a room feel brighter and more spacious and complement rooms with less natural light. A darker accent wall will add drama and depth to a room and help make larger rooms feel more cozy and intimate.</p></div>

Can I use peel-and-stick wallpaper to prevent future damage?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-removable.htm">Peel-and-stick wallpaper</a> is designed to be removed cleanly without damaging paint or drywall—as long as the surface was properly primed or painted beforehand. Its ease of removal makes it a great choice for renters or anyone who wants a less permanent design choice. Be sure to apply it to a clean, smooth, and dry surface for optimal results. </p></div>

Does new wallpaper add value to my home?

• <div><p>Having dated, peeling, or otherwise damaged wallpaper can decrease the value of your property, so removing that before listing your house is nearly always a good idea; however, since wallpaper tends to be a personal style choice, potential buyers may or may not love your aesthetic as much as you do.</p><p>Love the look of wallpaper but want to consider property value as well? Stick with something that is easy to change. If you are thinking of selling soon, make sure your wallpaper hanging is on-point and looks professional with no crooked seams, evenly matched patterns, and minimal bubbling or other imperfections.</p></div>

I initially gave a 5 star as looked good, but the quality of work was indeed sad in the end. Now looking to replace it after only 6 years. Highly disappointed."

Locally owned and operated, Paint One Inc. is a house painting company you can trust. If you have been looking for an all around professional house painting company for your home or business in Charlotte, Asheville, or the Hickory/Lenoir/Morganton areas, you are in the right place. Paint One is a house painting company that sets itself apart from other providers by providing top quality painting services at a fair and reasonable price. At Paint One, our drive to exceed homeowners’ expectations with the painting services we provide is second to none. We strive to continue being the best house painting company in North Carolina by providing outstanding professional painting services and a high level of customer satisfaction. Paint One Inc. started its operations as a Charlotte house painting company back in 2006. Even though we started small, we set out to make a big impact on the residential and commercial painting industry by being a different kind of house painting company – one that truly cares about customer satisfaction. The owner of Paint One has always felt that there was a strong need in the marketplace for a dependable and reliable house painting company that homeowners could trust to do a excellent job within the budget and time allotted. Today, Paint One has extended its operations to Asheville and Hickory/Lenoir and Morganton with the hopes and aspirations to soon reach Greensboro, Winston Salem, and Raleigh/Durham. We got bigger, but maintained our family-business way of operating. We owe our growth, as a house painting company in North Carolina, to all our satisfied customers who spoke out to their friends and family about their experience with Paint One. If you have used our house painting services before, we thank you for your continued patronage. Paint One is not franchise, but the way we run our house painting company is very professional and organized. We leverage available technology to minimize response time to customer inquires, to provide job progress reports to our customers and to facilitate communication between painting crews and management. We know you will be impressed with the way we work and share information to keep you updated on the progress of your painting project. One of the requirements to be hired by Paint One is to be passionate about painting. It’s true – everyone at Paint One Inc. is passionate about painting and we are addicted to making our customers happy! The owner of Paint One Inc., Pedro Pedreira has over twelve years of experience in the painting industry. He started his career as a subcontractor working on residential and commercial painting projects. While working as a subcontractor, he noticed that many house painting companies did not care about the quality of the finished work and cut corners to maximize profits, deceiving customers in the process. He also witnessed many outstanding warranty issues go unresolved. His overall feeling was that many painting contractors only cared about money. When he started his own house painting company, Paint One, in Charlotte, the first thing on his business agenda was to determine how to provide 100% customer satisfaction and to put in place a strong warranty to protect homeowners against defects in workmanship. Paint One is a house painting company with 15 employees, including 9 painting crews. Paint One has a local business presence in Charlotte, Asheville and Raleigh. To maintain complete control over the quality of the painting projects we undertake, our house painting company does not use subcontractors for residential interior and exterior painting project.

"Went good for a about 4 days he was paid in full and had a crew there. But when the bill was paid in full he only had about one day and a half left for his crew . 2 people showed up next day didn’t do much, and never came back. He was supposed to send information so I could send out 1099 . Wouldn’t and wouldn’t finish the job. So I am talking to the city about him doing work without a license and beating the city and state on taxes.. he is a crook... he was to finish all demo. Put in load bearing beam after the took out the load bearing wall . Was not installed properly. Left screws hanging out of the beam.. left the trash out back. Left most old duck work still in. Had to have someone else remove it and finish his work."
