"This was a great experience. Mr. Green is prompt, courteous, neat, expert at his job, and efficient. He educated us about the details of a good painting job all along the way. He was friendly and articulate in explaining what he needed to do the work and what we could expect. We will enjoy the newly-painted rooms for years to come."

"Billy and Betty T Fremont, N. C. We had JLP Custom Paint to come in and paint the inside of our house. They painted, removed popcorn from ceilings, completely remodeled our bathrooms,. They were great with helping us pick out colors. Later they came back and painted the outside of our house . Again they were very helpful with colors.They did a great job inside and outside.We enjoyed getting to know them and were very pleased with their work."

"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.

"Jason came out within a day of requesting a quote. Was very responsive to our needs in looking for a no VOC paint and obtaining a good price. He sent out a crew and was able to work around our needs with 2 kids running around the house. They got everything done in the time agreed upon. We're still waiting for them to come back to do touchups but that is a combo of their and our scheduling issues. Would definitely hire again and have already told the neighbors."

"Churchill Painting transformed my new house into a home.I knew the last a owner had made a mess with his painting but in my mind I could see the potential in spite of those problems. Churchill Painters tackled each challenge no matter what it took. In some cases it took extra paint. There were unusual problems like strange chemicals on the doors and super glue used with the wallpaper. They tackled and solved each problem they came across.And did it beautifully.Because of these challenges a. Few touch ups were needed. One of the partners and a crew showed up and took care of my concerns immediately. This did not surprise me. The other partner had spent time walking me thru at the beginning. He helped me with colors and paint types. He also explained how they could improve my kitchen cabinets and sunroom for a very reasonable cost. They not only did that but also added special touches throughout. I don't believe I could have found better painters! 
Karen Bonnewell, a very satisfied customer"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

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.

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. 

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.
