"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."

"We were not pleased with the work of this company.  While the price is right, there were so many things that went wrong on the job that I'm not sure if I can remember all of them.
First of all, when I hire a painter, my assumption is that they will work on my job only until the project is complete.  This was not the case.  The painters left the job for days on end, being called to other locations.  The work was sloppy in numerous places - we had to keep calling them back to correct things.  I also had bedroom furniture damaged when the workers moved my end tables to another room - they didn't take the care necessary to protect them.  Walls under light covers/cable covers were not painted - they were left the original color of the rooms.  My bedroom wall has cracked in one place already - as they didn't do the repair needed in that area evidently to prevent that from happening.  Paint has chipped in other areas - something which should not happen so soon after completion.
At exterior painting they also didn't take care to protect elements of the home properly.  I had paint spatter covering newly installed railings at my front walkway, stains applied incorrectly on wood lattice which they installed (numerous empty areas - should have used a spray gun for that or painted it before installation), totally ruined my exterior balcony door with using too thick a layer of paint on it.  There were paint brush hairs all over the door as well, paint on screens (why they weren't removed or covered is beyond me), spattered paint on a custom mailbox, and the same on our house number plaque.  
There is more, but I'll just leave it at it was an extremely sloppy job which took literally WEEKS to complete and I was told it would take less than 1 week.  
While there were some circumstances that made the job take longer (some weather related and some of his workers having personal problems), the amount of errors exceeded what would be considered excusable.
The only good thing I can say is that from far away, the house looks ok and, the owner Phil (others mention a different name, not sure why) tried to be as pleasant as possible throughout this.

"It was a difficult project requiring the removal of current siding, then significant patching, sanding and carpentry to prepare the original clapboard for paint. The crew was very hard working and super creative when it came to solving problems. They showed up on time every day and finished the project according to schedule. The price was very reasonable and no surprise charges. We are very pleased with AAA and would highly recommend them."

"We hired Elegant Home Improvement to renovate 2.5 bathrooms, our master bedroom, our kitchen, and our Living room. John & his crew met and exceeded our expectations. They spent approximately 40 full days worth of work on our house and at the end of every day the work area, our yard, and our house was always clean and immaculate, while still making good progress. All construction boxes, trash, etc. was always removed and cleaned up before they left every day. They took extra effort to make this a positive experience for us and to make sure our house was livable during the renovation process. We felt like they didn't just treat us like we were another project, but that they really wanted to help make our new house "our home". My wife and I have nothing but positive things to say about Elegant Home Improvement and would highly recommend them for your project!"

"John and his crew did a wonderful job painting the exterior of my home. We also had the deck redone as well. We had a lot of peeling paint on our house as well as a ton of mildew growing on the north side of our home. They used a professional solution to kill the mildew and assured me the chemicals would not harm any vegetation. Which it did not. They started by power washing my home to remove surface dirt and grime. They did the nessesary prep work and gave our home one coat of primer and two coats of paint. Outstanding Results! Our deck was sun beaten and worn. Had a few loose boards and popped nails. Being the handy team they have come to prove to be they had no problems fixing and repairing all my request. John being very knowledgeable recommended we use a solid color stain to help hide the weather beaten imperfections. GREAT ADVICE! I would have never thought of it. The deck almost looks new. And with the repairs it's blends the new wood with old quit nicely. Getting to know John the days him and his crew spent working on my home I asked him to give me quote on changing the wall paper in my home office. He explained to me the downfalls of wallpaper removal. And how it all depends on the person who installed the paper. If it was properly done it would not effect the estimate given. But if the wallpaper was NOT installed properly a reassessment of the job would have to be discussed. Turns out it was NOT installed properly and was actually damaging the walls upon removal. John being professional that he is assured me he would keep the cost as low as possible. In which he did. Instead of replacing the sheet rock. They skim coated the walls sanded them to perfection and painted them perfectly. SO GLAD I FOUND THESE GUYS!!!"

I am extremely pleased with the work of HJ Painting.  Hector is professional, showed up on time for the estimate, promptly gave the estimate via email, and showed up on time to do the work.   They removed the wall paper and prepped for painting, such that the walls came out as "smooth as silk".  They did it carefully, as there was paneling under the wall paper - with no need to do additional work to remove the paneling.  The crown molding was 5 1/2 inches in size and there were a few irregular corners to fit.  It was installed flawlessly.  They protected the rest of the rooms from any dirt and were tidy in set up and clean up.  Price was very reasonable.  I will certainly utilize HJ Painting again.  Hector is terrific!

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.
