Best wallpaper removers near Berlin, NJ

"Very well. The gentleman from Vincent's Painting and Wallpaper arrived on time and wonderfully completed the job. He was definitely an aficionado. In fact I am now hoping to get more wallpapering done!!!!!"

"overall, Ok. but I think they should have removed my curtains or asked me to remove them as some paint got on them and I didn't notice it for a few days."

"Wallpaper removal from two walls and patching. Great communication and very skilled at his craft.."

"I obtained 3 quotes for painting in my house which included removing old wallpaper in one room before painting and included included a bedroom, bath and hallway. Affordable Weaver is truly affordable. Their cost estimate was 40% less than the other 2 quotes. The team of 4 arrived promptly at 7:30 am and finished the job in 1 day. Very neat and clean with no paint drippings on my wood baseboards or floor. The owners are a pleasure to deal with and the painting crew took time to understand what color paint I needed in each room. Highly recommend!"

"Love my dining room! I finally have a beautiful accent wall. Dan was great! He kept my house clean while working and the wallpaper looks perfect! Nice guy who knows what he’s doing. I would definitely recommend."

"They came early on a Saturday morning. The owner is friendly, knowledgeable,and easy to talk to. We had discussed colors when he came to assess the job. He had mentioned that the darker the color, the more noticeable the dust and moisture marks would be. I hadn't even thought about that, so it was valuable info for picking out my bathroom color! In addition to doing a beautiful job on my bathroom walls and ceiling, the painter reinstalled a shelving unit that was removed from the wall prior to painting. The color no longer matched the new wall color, and he offered to repaint it for me! I had several sample cans of paint that I had bought, and we decided on a color that would go well with the new wall color. He did a great job on the shelves too. I was grateful for the extra help, and truly appreciated the offer. I have every intention of using this company again for all my painting needs in the future. I was more than satisfied with their work and their prices are competitive.

"I hired Al to remove wallpaper from my upstairs hallway, downstairs foyer, and stairwell. The job turned out to be much bigger than we originally thought because behind the first 2 layers of wallpaper was paneling, which Al removed, and then behind that were 2 more layers of wallpaper! Walls then needed to be skimmed, primed, and then painted, along with ceilings and wood trim. Al and his assistants transformed my very outdated space into a fresh and cheery one. I felt comfortable having Al and his assistants in my home for the duration of the project. Al is a very personable man who cares about his work and cares about making his customer happy. He demonstrated flexibility in working with my schedule and kept me updated throughout the project. I will gladly hire him again for another home improvement project."

"I was very impressed with the how well the team cleaned the work site after demolition.  The quality of plaster and finish was excellent!  I am now looking forward to hiring Larry again to help improve more of our house.

"The owner John and his assistant were very professional and clean. John does great work and has the experience and correct tools to properly sand the new spackle w out getting any drywall dust in the air. - He used a large specialty sanding disc w a shop vac connected to it. Which was a very fast and clean way to get the work done. - Credit should be given to any craftsman who invests in the right equipment for the job. As well as being able to do the drywall repairs AND paint. It's was not easy to find someone to do both. He supplied the paint. It was a perfect match using new paint made up w the old Sherman Williams color code. I would recommend hiring Dominic's Painting for any drywall repair, painting and/or skim coating."

"Although he ran late for our initial appointment, when I met Luis to get an estimate for the work involved I was impressed by his thoroughness, product knowledge and his detailed note taking about the job. Previous painters who had come by had been abrupt and lacked the detailed focus. I had made up a pretty detailed questionnaire so I could thoroughly assess each painters input about the job. When I asked Luis about the nail pops showing in some ceiling areas he assured me that they would fix them with 2 screws on either side removing the offending nail. Right answer. I was impressed. He also reviewed the steps taken in prep--plastic over the cabinets, paper covering floors, patching, sanding, priming, taping, chaulking etc. Because I had wallpaper glue issues from a previously poorly done paint job he assured me walls would be sanded, patched and then primed with an oil based primer to seal in the glue. That is what paint experts had recommended. Again I was impressed. The written up estimate detailing the job arrived a few days later via email. We communicated and revised the proposal back and forth until I was pleased that it incorporated all the details of the job including paint brands to be used. Although English is not Luis' first language we communicated fairly well via phone and email. He assured me that at least someone on the job would be able to communicate as well as he. I liked Luis, was impressed by the high ratings on Angie's List and found him to be more respectful and customer satisfaction oriented than other painters I had spoken to for an estimate. He also gave me the best price to do the job, particularly with the Angie's List discount. So I decided to go with his firm of which he is the principal owner. Scheduling the job went pretty smoothly working to accommodate my desire to get the job done in October before the holidays. On the first day two painters arrived more than 2.5 hours later than I had been told to expect them. Only one spoke a reasonable amount of English, the other very little. Both were very nice guys, for the most part diligent workers, with no attitude, but communication would end up being a real problem. They spent the first day prepping the kitchen area and other two rooms. Next 3 days they arrived on time around 9am and worked until about 6pm. They didn't take long lunches or breaks. The job was taking longer than Luis had calculated based on the prep required. My husband and I at the end of each day found issues in their prep--mostly careless patching, sanding or lack of. Their lack of attention to detail was disappointing, but they kept a positive attitude. During the job I received follow-up phone calls and emails from Luis asking for feedback. Twice a "supervisor" stopped by, but I didn't see much value. He first showed up midafternoon on the second day. His English was not good, so my communication with him was poor. I couldn't understand what he was saying to the painters, but it did not seem to me that he was insuring that a protocol of company standards or that the details of our written estimate were being followed. During the last couple days of the job, the painter who was doing the outside painting job spent alot of time on his handheld cell phone apparently having personal conversations while propped up on a ladder. I also discovered that he wasn't waiting the 4 hours between coats required by the manufacturer and had to point it out to him and Luis. Luis had assured me during the estimate that they followed the manufacturer reco. (I had previously experienced this problem with another painter resulting in a poor job.) Although I was home working, I had decided to be mostly hands-off on the job relying on the detailed written proposal to insure that the job was done according to specifications. The only thing I checked on was that they were using the right paint, finish and color for each element to be painted. Big mistake. When the job was done and they had left, the next day I found the remaining paint cans in the garage where I'd asked them to leave them. I discovered that they had used a latex primer rather than the specified oil-based primer on the walls. Then it hit me, I had never heard the power drill going to screw down the areas where there had been nail pops. I couldn't believe it. I was very upset. Took me several days to reach out to Luis with a detailed email expressing my grievances. Luis had told me the day they finished not to pay them, but to take a day or two to check out the work. I was glad I had that leverage. We found some spots bleeding through, a wall area missing it's second coat of paint, places where patches were not sanded enough or primed before painting so their finish was different calling attention to the patch, areas on the kitchen walls were there was still alligatored patches from previous wallpaper glue that was suppose to have been removed, and areas of trim where the paint was reflecting lack of a second coat of paint. I told Luis I wanted him to come by and see the work for himself and discuss the possible remedies. About a week later Luis met with me to review the job. He was very apologetic. For 3 weeks we lived with the main floor of our house in disarray. He brought the same painters with him and they worked through the remedies that day. He offered to completely redo the kitchen with the oil-based primer, but I agreed that fixing the areas pointed out and extending my warranty would suffice. I couldn't go another couple of days. I think Luis needs to provide better training and supervision of his workers. The workers should have gone over the details of the signed proposal with me when they arrived to make it clear they understood the requirements of the job. I also think they need to improve their English and communication skills."
