"Matt did an excellent job. He arrived on time. He inspected the damage & explained how the repair would be done. He gave us a fair price, which we agreed to, and then got right to work. All surfaces were covered with tape, drapes & tarps so that our floors, counters and cabinets remained clean. The hole in the ceiling was repaired & new plaster was applied & textured. The entire job was completed in less than 3 hours. All tape, drapes & tarps were removed, all floors were swept, every surface was cleaned before Matt left the premises."

" Bill and his crew did an outstanding job. Bill was very prompt scheduling the estimate and performing the service. He clearly explain what would we be done and presented me with a contract for services. Bill was on the job both days of the service.  He had two workers perform the job, both were excellent. I can tell his workers were quality people.  The first day the garage floor was scraped, acid washed and resurfaced. The second day the epoxy finish was applied. . So far I am very pleased with the work, as is my wife-- therefore I am doubly pleased."

"Steve, one of the workers, came promptly at 7:30 and got right to work.  He was very neat covering the floors which we had just gotten refinished and worked straight thru till the job was done.  Paul came later to do the wall repair after the glue removal and when he finished you could even see where the marks had been he was that good!  Josh (along with Steve) finished the painting job.  We were most pleased with the finished product and the price."

"Zach and his team were very professional and listened to what I had in mind for the project and did an amazing job. The exterior paint project was a complete color change and I could not be happier with the outcome. Instant curb appeal and instant value to my home from Zach's work. The project was completed in a timely manner without feeling like they were trying to rush through to get to the next job. Zach took the time to make professional decisions about best sheen of paint to use for the exterior siding material and it shows that he has many years experience in this line of work. It is a relief when you hire the best person for the job and a relief that I will no longer have to shop around for a painter, as I plan to use Zach and company for all of my painting jobs inside and out."

"We started a kitchen remodel two years ago.  Long story short, the initial contractor did an awful job and I was turned down by two new contractors because they didn't want to deal with all of the leftover mess (things not done to code, not done correctly, inspector issues and so on).  But, from the moment I met Dave I was impressed with how he handled the situation.  Things started to go as planned and we hit another bump in the road.  This time, it was us and we needed to pay cash for a big chunk of the job so we needed time to save money in between each step.  Dave was very understanding and gave us the time we needed and we proceeded step by step over the next year or so.  We are now finally finishing the job and I am very happy with our service.  Phil, the designer on our job, has been a life saver.  He has helped me with everything and has even provided moral support when I needed it.  He knew when to help me see his point and when to see mine.  He has been a blessing.  In addition, the project manager, Ric, has been amazing.  Not only does he do quality work, but he has been excited for us knowing what we have gone through.  His work is excellent and he is clean and careful and extremely thoughtful while in our home.  He has been an absolute delight to work with.  I respect these men very much.  There have been a few workers I have not been happy with (on some other small jobs that arose over the last year or so), but most things were handled and worked out.  "

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

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.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.
