"Dennis has a tremendous work ethic and does great work. He is friendly, professional, prompt and really good at his craft. I initially hired Dennis for wallpaper removal and was so impressed that I hired him to paint my foyer, dining room, stairwell, kitchen and breakfast nook. He even hung new light fixtures when ceiling work was done. I highly recommend Dennis."

"Jorge was my contact at EA Services and I requested that he come out to take a look at an exterior wall of my porch and the corner of the house where rot had developed along the bottom of the wall and surface of a deck on the side of the house. I wanted a rough idea as to how many hours / days it might take to replace plywood and install flashing. Jorge was able to
say it would take longer than the 6 hours of the AL deal, but probably not much more than a day.
After Jorge?s visit, it was a matter of scheduling a time when his workers would be able to start that was good for me. He indicated he had a backlog of other jobs to complete and he would give a call when this job was near the top of the list. It ended up being a couple months later, but we got the job scheduled.
Once that was settled, the workers came in a timely fashion and did enough demolition to evaluate what they need for materials.
Fortunately, the rot was not into the studs or the rear beam. Because of a language barrier, I went through Jorge to make sure I understood what the workers were seeing and what they determined they needed to rehabilitate the rotted area. I had some of the materials needed for the work already on hand. 
The workers were diligent and precise in removal of the rotten wood and replacement of the plywood, flashing, some of the shingles, and trim boards around the window on the wall.
The work took about 12 hrs and the hourly rate was the same as that for the AL deal for the first 6 hours.

"Bad wallpaper backing left behind in redoing bathroom. Clayton scraped and scrubbed the walls and had them all ready for painting. It came out great! I would definitely hire him back to do any job. He removed the wallpaper backing the following day after I called him and it was done in one day. I was so pleased. He was extremely neat, considering it was such a messy job."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

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.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in.
