"The inside looked great when they were finished and it took some time as several of the ceilings had started peeling and one had been opened up and closed again due to remodeling work . the outside door was also a challenge. After two coats of prime and two coats of paint we were still a little disappointed with the results, John's folks came back and graciously applied another coat to the door. afterwards it too looked great. John did not add any additional charge for his folks to come back and apply one more coat. Would definitely use his folks again."

We are a dedicated fine interior painting company, servicing central New Jersey since 1986. We also have a construction and general contracting division available to service your project needs, with over 30 years of construction management experience. Our commitment is to customer satisfaction. We operate a crew of 5-8 people, with myself (the owner) on site working alongside my experienced painters. We have extensive knowledge of Benjamin Moore's product lines, and utilize that to customize a plan to take the customer from beginning to completion of their vision for their home. We have a history of being highly reliable, easy to work with, and enjoyable to have in your home. Our delight is in creating happy customers who are proud of their homes. We thrive on compliments and referrals, and work over and above the requirements of the contract to earn both. We want to be your painter for life, and look forward to earning your trust. Additional phone number - (908) 391-6020. Additional DBA - Jeffrey T Lawler Inc. Award winning.

"Not well. In general, the painting was sloppy. Globs of paint were found around the trim work. Spackle was not sanded full smooth and then painted over, leaving the walls not looking smooth. Paint was splash on the cabinets, door handles and hardware, and floors. They left debris in every room that they worked in that we had to clean. They also put chalk between the ceiling and cabinets in the kitchen when it wasn't asked for and when it looked terrible, the owner removed it and scraped the ceiling significantly, then had to be asked to fix his mess. In the end, that area looked worse than it did before the job. This is not a company that respects your house and puts care into their work to make your house better."

Wallpaper removal services FAQs

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

In most cases, you cannot wallpaper over existing wallpaper. It’s possible to wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but vinyl-coated wallpaper is much more prevalent in homes, so you generally shouldn’t put new wallpaper over existing wallpaper. Adding a layer of wallpaper over vinyl-coated paper will lead to poor adhesion, leaving behind bubbles and imperfections in your wall. Plus, wallpapering over vinyl-coated wallpaper can lead to mold growth, which can be hazardous to your health. It’s usually best to hire a local wallpaper removal service to handle the task to avoid these issues.

The average cost to remove wallpaper is around $3 per square foot, but the total depends on the type of wallpaper, how easy it is to remove, and the size of the room. Most homeowners spend around $780 per room for wallpaper removal, and prices typically fall between $200 and $2,000. Wallpaper removal is expensive because it tends to be a very time-consuming job, and it can sometimes take a full day or more for the work to complete.

The easiest way to remove wallpaper is to use a steamer. The hot steam will loosen the wallpaper paste and make peeling the wallpaper off in large sheets much easier. Unfortunately, steamers can create irreparable damage on your walls, so it’s not a good idea for DIYers to use steamers to remove wallpaper. Instead, hire a professional wallpaper remover to do the work for you. This method will not only speed up the process, but it will also ensure your walls will remain intact post-wallpapering.
