"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.

"Paint Unlimited LLC recently primed and painted ceiling and walls in one of our bathrooms. They were very professional and took great care to make sure no damage was done along the way, and in fact made minor repairs as they went that I was unaware of. The finished result is complete and beautiful. I highly recommend this company and will be hiring them again in the very near future."

"Very good work at a reasonable price. Initially I only wanted help with wallpaper removal but his estimate on painting was hard to refuse. The entire room was complete in less than two days. Santiago is an honest and hard worker. I would definitely reach out to him for my next painting project."

"We were given a quote, but the price continued to go up while they were working, twice to be exact. It went up a total of almost $3000 more. The first rise in cost was only $900 because we wanted to add a drip edge. Then, once the entire metal roof was removed, they came to tell us that they need an additional $1900 to buy plywood for the shingles to go on. We were under the impression that that was included in the quote we were given since they walked on the metal roof and evaluated it before giving us the quote to change our metal roof to a shingled roof. We also asked about removing the cost of the drip edge that we originally asked to add when this additional $1900 was “needed.” But then they stated they did not recommend taking this off. This was confusing to me because they gave me a quote without the drip edge, but when I asked if the price included this, they stated it would be an additional $900. The work was good and completed in a timely manner. They were kind workers, but we did not give them a 5 star because of the extreme additional prices that were added on."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.
