"We had quite a bit of work to be done for our spring cleanup. Trimming shrubs/trees, weeding 4 beds, removing a rhododendron that didn't make it thru the winter (RIP), edging 2 of the beds, & spreading dyed black mulch in all 4 beds. Lou, John & nephew(?) arrived when they said they would (8 am), worked continuously, & had the job done before noon. Very meticulous. Was very pleased with end result & will definitely be hiring them next year."

"Miguel was efficient and very easy to work with. The wallpaper removal was not an easy task, but he got it done and painted. We are definitely pleased with the results. We're having him back for another job too."

"You can't do better, in my opinion. Price is reasonable and quality of work is very high. They took care of wallpaper removal, popcorn ceiling removal, drywall repair and painted my entire place. Howard and his team are extremely reliable, detailed, thorough and clean. He doesn't overcharge and did an amazing job removing the popcorn ceilings from my entire place - which has sloped, high and angled ceilings with various cuts - and his estimate for that portion of the work was much lower than anyone else's."

"Star painting power washed and painted the whole exterior of our house 5 years ago. It has held up extremely well. We had some damage recently and called them to repair it. They were incredibly responsive & completed all the work going above and beyond in honoring our warranty on the work. Often times one is disappointed that people don't stand behind their work, but Star painting did - 5 years later - and even when the damage was not related to their work. I recommend them fully to anyone looking for quality work, and professionalism with customers. The cost of service quoted in this review is the original cost - they did not charge us for the recent repairs which was incredible!"

"Tony and the team did an excellent job in removing the wall papers from the living room, stairways and hallways and then painted with our desired color using premium quality pain of Sherwin Williams. Labor and material were all inclusive in the job, so I didn't have to worry about anything. On top of it, they ensured that house is cleaned and usable for two little kids at home. Thank you for job well done!!"

"1) Very responsive and clearly motivated to customer satisfaction. Of the three calls I placed for a bid, they were the fastest and most responsive to my request. They work on Sat's and are easily reachable. 2) Price - very reasonable 3) Quality of work - very detail orientated. We had a very difficult wallpaper to remove from the ceiling (yes, not sure whey people wall paper the ceiling) with alot of glue and they removed and made the surface very smooth. They prep the rooms very well, were very neat and tidy. The paint work was well done. 4) Over and beyond - my husband was trying to shovel 18" of snow off our front walkway. Andreas offered to bring their snowblower for us to use. They were very kind and did not have to offer but they did. Ultimately, it helped us dig our way of the snow!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

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.

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.
