"overall, Ok. but I think they should have removed my curtains or asked me to remove them as some paint got on them and I didn't notice it for a few days."
"I obtained 3 quotes for painting in my house which included removing old wallpaper in one room before painting and included included a bedroom, bath and hallway. Affordable Weaver is truly affordable. Their cost estimate was 40% less than the other 2 quotes. The team of 4 arrived promptly at 7:30 am and finished the job in 1 day. Very neat and clean with no paint drippings on my wood baseboards or floor. The owners are a pleasure to deal with and the painting crew took time to understand what color paint I needed in each room. Highly recommend!"
"It went perfectly. Wallpaper was expertly installed and looks sensational. The installer was professional, polite and the paper is perfectly seamless and pattern is perfectly matched. Excellent experience!"
"I was given Larry’s name by a family friend to quote re-doing my living room and bedroom ceiling. Larry was quick to get back to my phone call as well as begin the work. His quote was fair, better than two others I had received! Larry worked quickly and did an amazing job. He kept me informed throughout the entire job and was so easy to talk to. After meeting him, I trusted him to be in my home alone, using a lock box, which allowed for him to come on his schedule without me having to be there. Larry did a wonderful job, going above and beyond to touch up some imperfections on my walls as well. I would 100% recommend Larry to anyone looking for drywall/Sheetrock work done! Thanks again Larry!"
"Dominic arrived on time, with the supplies we agreed to in advance. He set to work and removed the old tile ceiling which was stained and falling down. He removed the tiles the nails the staples and the old molding. He installed the new dry wall ceiling, taped, speckled and cleaned up the area he repaired and the garage where he was working. I was so pleased I will have him back to do other painting and shelf installation. "
"Luis and Fine Painters did a great job. Luis called back within the hour of my first message, and was very flexible in coming out to look at the job. He listened well to what I wanted done, and his quote came broken down into the options I asked for (w/ and w/o sealer, and cost for deck work vs. cost for paneling work). He patiently walked me through the options and gave me more background on the choices. In the end we selected Luis and his team to do the whole job. The crew that arrived to do the work (4-5 man, depending on the day) was led by Nilton, and they did a great job protecting everything and doing the work. Luis did not work the job himself but was by several times to check on progress, including a final walk through before submitting the final bill. The final price was *exactly* what I was quoted. Upon completion of the work, there was some stain spots on the stone walkway around, and Luis sent the crew back out with solvent and buffer and removed them well, even after having received full payment. A terrific job, would hire again in a heartbeat."
".He came one day after i called for an estimate and gave a lower estimate in case we wanted to try to finish removing the paper and buy the paint. we said no give us an estimate with all the work done by him the second estimate was $460 and still was well worth it for the work it involved. He had a couple of days work because of the skimcoating needing drying time. from beginning to end, he was here 3 times and each time at exactly 8:30 AM. he worked diligently and was an extremely competent painter. i decided to call him the wall doctor because i didn't think anybody could fix our horrible wall that nice for so little. i recommend him to anybody.

"As a first-time homeowner, finding the right contractor for a major renovation project was incredibly important to me and my family. We recently purchased a colonial-style home in Abington that needed significant cosmetic updates and repairs before we could move in. Wesley and the team at WNP Painting and Remodeling exceeded every expectation. In just two and a half weeks, they completely transformed our home. Their work included wallpaper removal, painting the entire interior, electrical and plumbing repairs, deck updates, fence installation, door installation, shutters, exterior trim work, luxury vinyl plank flooring, carpet installation, and much more. The quality of the work was outstanding, and the attention to detail was evident throughout the entire project. What impressed me most was Wesley's communication, honesty, and leadership. Since this was my first home renovation, I relied heavily on his expertise. He kept me informed every step of the way, explained issues when"
"I am in the process of preparing my home for sale in Barrington and as part of that prep, I needed a great room, kitchen, and hallways painted. Bill gave me a very reasonable quote, was able to do get to my job quicky, and best of all, did an outstanding job on walls that were not in great shape to start with. 5 stars all around. Highly recommend!"
"I have used Vincenzo's Custom Painting in the past and was very pleased with his work so when I needed to take care of a new project I didn't hesitate to call the man I knew could get the job done in a reliable, professional and reasonably priced manner. He responded to my phone call very promptly and was here without delay to start the job on time. He advised me beforehand when giving his initial quote on the work that there may be additional costs due to hidden problems when removing old wallpaper and sure enough the walls were a nightmare. But not a problem for this crew, they tackled the demands of an old house with complete professionalism and we couldn't be more pleased with the end results. They kept to schedule and cleaned up each day after their work as well. Great job men. I highly recommend this company to take care of all your painting, repair and remodeling needs. Vincenzo is a perfectionist. "
When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.
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.
The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.
Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.
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.
