"Great job by MK GC. We had a small but tricky painting/wallpapering/tile job and they did a great job. They were exactly on time, on budget, and completed everything plus another item I added at the last minute. Will definitely be using them again."

"Had paneling removed from plaster walls that were glued on. Robert gave a very fair price and was cost concious. All the spots were the plaster came off had to be spackled. For the final coat he inspected very closely to see any spots that needed to be touched up.He cleaned up daily and the final clean up was excellent. I would recommend him."

"A and Z did wallpaper in my daughters room and did an amazing job. They were available the next day after I contacted them, brought all their own materials, and finished the job in under an hour. The wallpaper looks absolutely gorgeous you can’t see any seams and everything is beautiful!"

"Jose did a great job. He was able to remove old, nasty wallpaper in our foyer and gave it a fresh look. He also installed crown molding in the foyer, painted the stairs and installed trim around the entrances to the other rooms. He performed his work on schedule, even if that meant working late to finish the project. Overall I would definitely recommend him and would use him in the future."

"It went VERY, VERY WELL.  I couldn't be more pleased.  Peter, who set up the contract, listened sensitively to my initial ideas and devised solutions to some tricky issues. Johnn, the supervisor, showed up frequently and was gracious about following up with all my requests and feedback.  It was easy to reach them  by phone or email with queries. The team completed the exterior work and interior priming in August then accommodated a 3-month delay on completing the interior to give us time to deal with infrastructural issues. They also accommodated a 6-day interruption so that we could get everything set up for relatives staying with us for Thanksgiving. At no point in working with them did I ever feel rushed or pressured.
The workers, especially Rick and Joel, were courteous and very professional. They always showed up on time and worked intensely. They moved furniture and removed fixtures where necessary. They were respectful of our household rhythms and cleaned up after themselves at the end of every day.
The quality of their work was simply excellent. A kind of mesh was used during the initial preparation to smooth out uneven and cracked surfaces so that those surfaces came out looking like new. After priming, two coats of paint were applied. Taking great care not to damage our newly refinished wood floors,  they used drop cloths and painted with precision, leaving no drips or puddles. Every little aspect that was not to our liking was  promptly and courteously corrected.  Charges for the project adhered strictly to the contract and payments were well spaced; there were no surprises. 
I would be thrilled to have them come back to work on additional projects.

"A++ Owner was very conscientious and attentive. Painters were professional and super neat. The work exceeded my expectations. They spent 4 days at my house and each time they left they cleaned up after themselves and you’d never know they were here. I will definitely use them again!"

" My husband and I had waited several years to finally remodel my outdated 1920's brick home.  Since we had previously hired various types of companies that did lousy work for us in the past without the help of Angie's List, we wanted to hire a company that would be professional throughout the entire process this time.  We searched diligently on Angie's List and based on the many reviews we read, decided to go with Picasso.
I contacted Joe and he arrived promptly at the time he said he would.  He presented himself in a professional, no nonsense manner which impressed me.  We walked throughout my home together and I explained what I wanted to do in each room.  He was very attentive and even gave me suggestions.  Overall, I was satisfied with his presentation and the cost of the renovation.
After much consideration, my husband and I decided to hire him for the job.  Joe and his team of 6 - 8 workers showed up promptly at the scheduled time he said and began the major demo in my home not long after they arrived. They were completely meticulous in the preparation for destruction, covering the remaining furniture in the house with plastic and removed what they could into the garage.
They demolished my non-functional kitchen completely leaving nothing behind in a timely manner, which was very impressive.  At the same time, some of the other workers demolished a dividing wall in my dining room and were very careful in containing the debris.  By the end of the work day, they cleaned up all the construction debris they made in the house.  They installed new hardwood flooring throughout the first floor in a quick and synchronized manner that you wouldn't believe.  They were very hard working, no nonsense and considerate.
Joe recommended a stair company to install a new exposed staircase in my dining room which had us completely blown away with the final result.  The staircase is a total masterpiece on its own.
He also recommended a kitchen cabinet company which produced custom cabinets for us, and we were pleased with the final result, even though a few issues occurred with specifications on the part of the company representative.  Joe's team installed new backsplash tiles surrounding the counters as well as new ceramic floor tiles and appliance installation, each of these done in the most efficient way.
They also painted the entire 1st Floor of my house in colors that we ALL had avid discussions about.  Joe has an eye for what looks appealing in a home and we are satisfied with how the colors appear, which are very comfortable for us.
The entire renovation took 3 weeks, Joe was correct in the amount of time he said it would take.
So, It is with great satisfaction that I write this much anticipated review for Picasso.  I can honestly say this has been both an exciting and memorable experience they have given us. The transformation of my home was totally amazing.   I highly recommend this company for all your construction needs.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, 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.

As long as the surface you’re putting the tile on is properly prepped, peel-and-stick backsplashes should stay on and last anywhere from 3 to 5 years. The best way to ensure the tile stays on is to sand down and clean the wall before applying your design.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

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.

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.
