"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."

"The workmen showed up on time and were very professional and did excellent work. My only issue was how long it took to get the work scheduled, despite that I would use JEC again and would certainly recommend them."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.
