Eric was an absolute pleasure to work with. He prepped our walls and installed wallpaper in our 1917 farmhouse. It looks amazing! His work is top quality...truly an art! When portions of the project presented challenges he was overly communicative. He sent pictures and videos of what he was facing and allowed us time to make decisions with no pressure. His pricing was extremely fair. Eric called when he said he would and showed up to the job as agreed upon. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you want wallpaper installed then Eric is certainly the man for the job!

Eric is absolutely fastidious in his wallpaper projects. He is reasonably priced but his work quality is absolutely outstanding. He comes when he says he will be there and leaves the work site spotless . He is a consummate professional who will do his best for you and I canĂ¢ t say enough good things about his work! You can hire him to do your wallpaper projects with the utmost of confidence that it will be done correctly.

Eric removed wallpaper in a bedroom, installed wallpaper in another room, and also did some painting for us. He did an excellent job, as removing and installing wallpaper is not easy, and he also knows how to properly paint walls. He was very professional and is extremely skilled and knowledgeable. He was easy to work with and careful in planning out how to start and complete the work. He did a great job!

Eric has many years of wallpapering and painting experience in a large variety of situations. He is most capable and professional in all the work that he is involved in. Prior to starting a project he is very thoughtful in his planning and advise to a customer so that when the job is being done there are no issues or problems. He is very thorough and patient in answering any questions that a customer may have. If you are lucky enough to have him do your project, you will be very pleased.

Eric is pleasant to start with and very chatty. His work is ok. After the paper dried there are white chalky marks all over the paper from excessive glue. He offered to bring a painter, who worked 3 days with little accomplished. He charged 300.00 a day for the painting that he was supposed to give to the painter but it was clear Joey was being unwittingly used and not fully compensated. This was on top of the 475.00 per day for Eric. Be very careful about what you agree to with Eric. I have found there are lots of other more reasonable wallpaper people available on the thumbtack.
Response from

"I find this rating to be completely untrue and insulting. As I have since 1983, I put everything in writing. This customer Delisa confirmed, accepted, and agreed to all of the specs of the job which included the total price for me ( 1425) which included prep work priming and installation in 3 areas..... and the 300 per day price for a painter that I brought in for her. It was also in writing that the painter would be there most likely for 4 days but he got it done in 3 and she was charged accordingly. ( 900) He even did some extras for her. I worked with her to ensure a beautiful result in all the rooms we decorated, and she should be thrilled at the result like all my customers. If there was any residual adhesive on the paper as she claims, I would have gladly gone back and taken care of what amounts to be a touchup. I was shocked at the end when it came time to settle up...she intimated that she thought she would be paying LESS?? This has never happened in 37years in business. I was completely perplexed. After she paid I thanked her for the work. Why she feels the need to badmouth us now is very upsetting,"

We hired Eric to remove wallpaper from 3 rooms, resurface and repair the walls and paint. He and his co-worker Joe did an excellent job. I even added an additional room to repaint. They were punctual, hard working and polite and efficient. I would have no hesitation is recommending his service.
