"I contacted Nick on January 30th via email around 9pm.   He called me by Noon the next day, which was a Sunday.  I explained everything I was looking to have done and asked him to come and give me an estimate.  We made plans for 6pm on Tuesday, 2/2/16.  He called before the appointment to confirm my address and to ensure I was still expecting him.  He arrived on time.  First thing he did was hand me his card, so that was sure I was letting the right person in my home.  I showed him around, introduced him to my brother, who lives with me, and to all my various pets - 3 dogs and 2 cats.  He was friendly to all the animals even though they were a bit of a bother as we walked the house.  

As we walked room to room, I explained all I would like to have done and Nick took notes.  I explained imperfections and how I knew that if I had enough money walls should be replaced, but at this time I could only afford to have painting done.  I showed him rooms that the previous owners painted over wallpaper - again should be removed and walls redone from scratch, but I did not have money for that.  Nick did not press me about getting it done.  He understood, that I was looking for a cosmetic update and that I just wanted the place repainted as it was last done in 2007.  Nick asked the right questions about woodwork and finishes.  He explained the difference a finish could have on a color.  He advised me on which finish to use in which room, which would be best with the pets, etc.  

He shared paint color boards for Benjamin Moore.  He told me which store he uses to supply his work.  He did a final walk thru.  I asked him questions like who does the work - him or does he hire teams; I asked about how to handle the animals when he was here; I asked him what I needed to do to prepare.  He had answers for everything.  He understood my concerns about the pets.  He left telling me he'd be in touch with an estimate.  I did not give Nick any idea of what I was willing to pay before he left.

The following day, 2/3, Nick called me and gave me an estimate.  He went over everything we discussed the day before in full detail.  His price came in under what I had in mind.  I was extremely pleased.  I even considered adding on the bathroom, since I was under budget.  He said he'd look when he came and we could talk more then.  He instructed me to go find my colors, he suggested getting test quarts so I was sure I liked the colors.  

I went to the Ben Moore store he suggested on 2/6.  They were awesome. They totally matched the colors I wanted.  They took their time with me as I picked for each room.  One match is 100% spot on to the throw pillow I brought in for comparison.  Once the colors were tested and picked, I called Nick and gave him the numbers on 2/8.   He said he'd be in touch the following week to tell me exactly what day he could start.

On 2/15, Nick called and said he'd be at my house at 7am on Wednesday morning.  He would pick up all the paint before hand.  We discussed how he expected payment - half up front; half upon completion.  He asked that I take pictures from the walls.  And that he'd move any heavy stuff.

Wednesday morning 2/17 came.  Nick and his associates were out front at 6:50am, but did not come in until 7am, which I really appreciated as I needed to round up and lock up the pets.  He came in, introduced his team- Nick and two others.  They went about putting down drop clothes and removing switch plates.  Nick reviewed the colors with me and where each was going.  At that time, since the estimate was below budget, I asked Nick if he'd look at the bathroom.  I showed him how the ceiling needed to be scraped and painted and that parts of the walls needed some TLC.  He asked if I wanted him to add it on to the job.  I was so excited that he could immediately do this.  I said yes and picked the color from his chart.  He said he'd get it that afternoon and bring it with him the next day.

My brother stayed at the house with the pets while I went to work and Nick painted.  When I came home that day, the entire house had a first coat.  The living room and hallway was done.  The ceilings were done.  The border in the kitchen removed, the spackling done, the house was left in good shape.  Nick said he'd be back the next morning at 7am to finish up.  And same as before, he waited until 7am exactly to come in.

On day 2, there was only Nick and one other person.  Nick said they'd finish that day.  I worked from home, tucked away in my bedroom with the cats.  My brother in his room with the dogs.  At 11am, Nick asked me to take a look as see if there was anything I was not happy with.  I asked that the kitchen get one more coat.  They were covering a dark wall with a light paint and I swore I still saw the old green.  He did that without hesitation.  Everything else looked great.  They went about folding up the drop clothes, cleaning any specks they found, sweeping up, etc.  Just afternoon, I gave Nick the second half due and he was off!   Easiest service transaction ever!

The house looks great!  So bright and so fresh.  It all feels new again.  I'd recommend Nick to anyone who needs a painter.  If I had more rooms, I'd surely bring him back!

"Fantastic, smooth. Builder's grade tape had pulled away from the existing drywall leaving cracks and rippling in the drywall. Replaced a section of drywall from a half wall that we damaged. Re-taped, spackled and smoothed to a nice pre-paint finish. Quick and efficient. Kept the area clean. Confirmed the damage was not due to bad roofing. Would use Larry again! He is extremely professional and courteous. A rare contractor in today's world.

"They really are not that good because the work they did started to deteriorate quickly after they did it. They came back and resolved the problem but they also did additional work; they really are not the best painters. The price was very reasonable and they also did some exterior painting for me as well. The interior painting was not as professional as I thought it could have been but they were quick to respond to my needs. They were punctual."

"Very well. The work took 4.5 days and was very professionally done. John takes pride in his work and does an excellent job. He cleaned up after himself every day very thoroughly. I plan to have John do some exterior painting and additional wallpaper removal and painting in 2017."

"Wesley’s prices are competitive and was willing to do a compete service including cleaning the soffit. We have a second story over hang with columns that were chipping and peeling. Wesley talked about the process of power washing, sanding, and painting. Everything went well and looks great. We also have 2 bay windows with over hangs that were white. We had them painted bronze. The finish looked a little more matte than we expected so I called Wesley who was very responsive and he explained that the brand of exterior paint only had satin or a gloss finish. We wanted to try the gloss and he was happy to repaint it. We were happy with the results and would use Wesley again"

"These are excellent painters who do a terrific job painting a deluxe finish using Sherwin William paints.  I appreciated the timeliness, their ability to work with my crazy schedule, and their customer service.  They genuinely care about the people they are working with and it shows."

Wallpapering FAQs, answered by experts

Accent walls have been a popular decor choice over the past two decades, and they don’t seem to be going out of style any time soon. They’re a quick and easy way to change the mood of the room without committing to painting every wall, and many homeowners like the visual interest they add to a room.

Putting up new wallpaper tends to take one to two days, depending on the size of the area, whether old paper needs to be removed, and if there is any damage to walls that needs to be smoothed over or fixed.

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. 

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.

Your peel-and-stick wallpaper can fall off for multiple reasons, including high humidity levels, extreme temperature changes, poor installation, and even the wall surface. Textured walls can prevent the adhesive from fully sticking to the wall, making it more likely for the wallpaper to peel off. Low-quality wallpapers with weaker adhesives are also more likely to fall off prematurely.
