Award winning. Family owned & operated. We specialize in residential storm damage restoration, roof replacements and repairs. We provide complete turnkey insurance claims assistance from the initial FREE INSPECTION, meeting with your adjuster through completing the work with our high quality crew that is covered by liability and workman's compensation insurance. We also do cash jobs and provide cash estimates. We offer short and long term financing. Additional phone numbers (205) 616-1430, (205) 789-9733 and (317) 432-1971. *****Our primary business philosophy is “do what you say your going to do when you say you’re going to do it”.******

"It has gone very smoothly, I worked with Alfred Pickett, (205) 837-1011, who quoted the job, scheduled the job with one of Authentic Restoration's roofing crews. It is Alfred who stood fast that our roof was damaged and likely that our insurance adjuster would approve coverage payments. This occurred on an incredible day when I coincidentally paid a home inspector to inspect a small area on my roof that another "sub" of mine had patched. Alfred was standing nearby and we didn't say a word that Alfred was a roofer. I asked the Home Inspector to check our roof while he was up there - and he came down and told me the roof was not damaged by hail! When the inspector left, Alfred showed me on his "Tablet" the picture he took of our roof and there were many pale charcoal-colored spots in the picture. This was the hail damage we suspected that occurred in April 2017. Our terrific Cincinnati Insurance Co. paid all of our $40,638 roofing/new gutters bill except a $2,500 deductible that we happily paid. Authentic Restoration performed a great job on our home's roof and (don't forget) gutters. I am so big on Restoration that we got my youngest Stepson's home re-roofed due to hail damage also, and happily this home was covered by Cincinnati Insurance also (hail damage). In addition, I've led, so far, two of my neighbors who own luxury homes with hail-damaged roofs to Alfred and they are getting new replacement roofs covered by insurance. Alfred has also made things easy in doing our two jobs and I am very fortunate that we crossed paths because he has saved my wife and I some serious money and made it easy!!"

My company is a small business that offers quality, honest, reliable services. We go to each potential job site and give a free estimate. We also give special discounts to all of our Angie's list customers. Contact us today, we look forward to helping you paint your residential or commercial dream.

"Phillip and his crew were terrific to work with. He wasn't the lowest bid, but having talked with each bidder, he was definitely the most knowledgeable so worth the difference. He and the crew were on time, friendly, and worked every day until the job was finished. For the most part, Phillip is on site for the work. Clean up was great. We had three different colors going, some rotted wood to replace, and many bushes and trees that had to be worked around. The shutters were sprayed to change the color, and after that was completed and the sprayer cleaned, I found 4 more shutters in the garage that are extras. Very cordially set up again and sprayed those as well. I can highly recommend Phillip and Vice Versa Painting."

Since 2001, we have been the painting contractor of choice for the homeowners and business owners of this area. Our knowledge and experience allow us to handle virtually any type of painting project, whether it is interior, exterior, residential or commercial. We have developed a large following of loyal clients, and we hope to soon add you to our family.

"I wouldn’t use this company again, even to paint a dog house. We hired Socaz to paint our kitchen cabinets and a few rooms in our house, including all baseboards. We were told that it would take 1-1.5 weeks to complete the job. It ended up taking 5.5 weeks. First off, they advertise and say that they can paint cabinets, but in all honesty, they didn’t know what they were doing in our home. Our contract stated that they would use an oil based primer and high end paint (SW Emerald or BM Advance). Without consulting us first, they used a latex primer and cheap off brand paint (none of the painters there had ever heard of it. I just happened to notice it when looking at the paint cans that they left in our garage). Needless to say, the first time they painted them, the paint immediately chipped off with a finger scrape. After our kitchen was completely walled off for days, they had to regroup and figure out how to fix them. The had to contract the job out because the employees they had could not do the job. The contractor ended up sanding it all down again and repainting everything. This time they used oil based primer, but the same cheap paint. The island is already chipping again days later. Also, a day after they finished, we tried swapping out a knob and the paint completely came off. See pictures attached. We chose colors based on SW paints (we told them up front that this is all we use in our house) and with this cheap paint they used, the colors were off, not as dark as they would have been with the Emerald paint. They painted dog hair into part of our island as well. When we started this process, we hired their “color consultant” since my husband and I are not creative types. He suggested colors for the cabinets and I picked one. The cabinet color does not work with the rest of the room... granite, tile backsplash, wall paint. You would think that somebody that they call a color consultant would have seen this when suggesting paint colors. Complete waste of money. We are now thinking that instead of swapping out the granite and tile, we will need to do a complete kitchen remodel and replace the cabinets. This was not the plan before hiring Socaz. The baseboard paint they chose didn’t match the window trim, so they repainted it all with a different color and it still doesn’t match. We gave up and will live with that. I have been cleaning paint off of our hardwood floors, granite and door knobs almost daily due to the sloppiness. We are so angry that we chose this company and wasted all of this money. It is a huge lesson learned. They finished the project almost two weeks ago and the owner, Torrance has yet to call us to see if we are happy with the job or see if there are any touchups needing to be done (There are a ton, but we do not want them back in our house). He was not easy to work with. Once things went sideways, when we would call him, his tone would change when he heard who it was, almost like he was irritated with us. Many times he didn't even respond to our texts. He didn’t seem to have a handle on this project or even know what was going on in our house half the time. None of this was our fault (except for hiring them) and we didn’t appreciate him making us feel that way. We paid a lot of money and expected a professional job. It’s not what we got. I am not one to write negative reviews often, but I couldn’t not warn people about this company. It was the most horrible experience we have ever had with any contractor in 23 years of owning homes."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

For the most part, peel-and-stick wallpaper doesn't damage walls. However, there may be some cases when damage does occur. For example, if you try to rip the paper off the wall, you may pull away some paint at the same time.

The walls can also be damaged if they aren't prepared properly before you add the wallpaper. For example, if the coat of paint is too fresh when you put the wallpaper on the walls, it can peel away as you remove the paper. 

Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.

The fastest way to remove wallpaper is usually to spray the paper with a mixture of hot water and either vinegar or dish soap, let it soak in, and then scrape off the wallpaper using a putty knife. Unfortunately, this process can easily damage your walls if you spray too much or scrape too aggressively. Your best bet is to call in a professional wallpaper remover who knows how much to wet the walls and how much pressure to apply when scraping the paper off. They might also use steamers and other tools to speed up the process.

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.
