"Glenn is an extremely professional, friendly, and reasonable man and Coast to Coast is the only company I will use in the future for any interior/exterior painting.  His quote to paint the entire 2400sqft 2-story house and a large deck (approx 8x35) was $4650 which I found to be quite reasonable.  I had received 2 quotes about 18 months prior that were $1000-$1500 higher.  Glenn requested that I find a professional carpenter to fix the rotten spots (which he assessed while pressure washing) prior to beginning painting.  After having 3 different carpenters come out, none were willing to do it due to the danger and inaccessibility of the spots.  Glenn then fixed those spots for $1000 which again I thought was quite reasonable based on their location.  His crew hand-painted 2 coats on our hardy-plank home and 2 coats of stain on our cedar trim.  They did an OUTSTANDING job caulking everything which the house was in dire need of after not having been painted in 16 years.  The house looks great and the attention to detail was very impressive, I haven't seen any imperfections yet.  Glenn exceeded my expectations.

"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.

"Our 12x40 foot outbuilding was in sorry shape. The roof was leaking, the outside walls were crumbling, and the doors had been destroyed in a series of storms. This company contacted us right away with a competitive quote and start date. The crew were skilled artisans who arrived on time and completed each stage of the job efficiently. The crew removed and replaced the old siding, reinforced the loft area opening up the floor space below, replaced the doors (including a custom top/bottom split Dutch style side door), and painted the exterior. We were so impressed by the work that we obtained a quote to have our covered patio painted, which required the grinding of exposed mail tips. The work began on Wednesday and both jobs were completed by Saturday. Never have I been so impressed by the quality and efficiency of a job. I would and will hire them for future jobs."

On Monday Chuck and the foreman came to start work on the kitchen floor. I was told I needed more tiles so I went and purchased them. When I returned, tile was being laid, I asked if he removed the old tile and was told it wasn't necessary. They came back Tuesday and finished laying tile and when the foreman put the thresholds down it was not level at all. The new tile is thick. I'm not happy with that as it has become a tripping problem. I was told by the foreman to take a wet sponge and wipe the grouting powder the next day as it wasn't worth his while to drive all that way to do. So I had to do it myself with my bad knees. It took 4 months to obtain a receipt for the job.

"The entire trim had to be removed and replaced.  While this sounds simple the workers had to install a roof jack type scaffold due to the angle of the roof.   The trim was removed, replaced, sealed and painted.  The workers were very thorough and cleaned up as if they were never there.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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 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.

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.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

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.
