"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

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.

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

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.

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.

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.
