"Matt was very professional, arrived right on time for both the estimate and for the repair work. Our home is 100 years old with plaster and lath walls and ceilings. Once Matt started the repair he discovered that the ceiling had wallpaper under the stippling. That was a surprise to me but Matt wasn’t phased by it and did a great job repairing damaged sections. He works quick, professionally and is fastidious about cleaning up. I would highly recommend him."

"Ray was the first to respond to my initial inquiry and he responded quickly. He gave us an estimate right away with a very fair quote. Ray and his crew were very polite and willing to work with us in whatever ways we wished. They were able to make all of the repairs we needed and did an excellent job. They kept their equipment picked up at the end of each work day. They made sure that we were satisfied with their work and asked frequently if we were happy with the job they were doing. Overall, it was an excellent experience working with Ray and his crew. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of exterior painting."

"From the very beginning of the project, the owner Bill was exceptionally professional and thorough with the details of the job.  He ensured that I was comfortable with the process every step of the way.  Bill and his team were very punctual, professional, and paid every attention to detail.  I could not be more pleased with the work they have done for me; and, I would rehire them again without hesitation.  Thank you, Angie's List, for helping me to find Key Painting."

"Timothy was very professional. He answered my inquiry in a timely fashion and then came on time for his appointment to look at what I wanted and give me an estimate. He then can back as discussed and painted my bedroom ceiling. He took his time and it was done neatly. No paint got on the floor or furniture. As he completed the work he asked I'd he could come back a few days later to see if he had to touch-up anything after seeing the dried results. I thought that was very nice and I appreciated it. I had a wonderful experience with Timothy and would definitely use him again."

"We have been completely remodeling the main floor of our house for several months.  We have done everything ourselves up to this point, but I did not want to do the drywall myself because I simply don't have the time or experience to do a proper job.
Paul told us when he gave us the estimate that he is not the cheapest out there, but his estimate was very competitive with the others we received and he was available when we needed him.  I was a little skeptical that the job could be completed in 2 days, but Paul assured me that he has been doing this a long time and that it should not take more than 2 days.
The specifics of the job were:
Hang and finish new drywall on ~375 square feet of wall, consisting of three separate walls and parts of two others, and also wrapping the ends of several wall sections.
  • Patch/repair several holes, mostly in the ceiling, including two long sections where we removed walls.
  • Scrape and skim coat ~435 square feet of textured ceiling to make it smooth and blend with the rest of the ceiling.

Paul and his crew arrived on time on Monday morning and had all the drywall hung before lunch.  By the end of the day Monday all the taping and first coat of drywall compound was done, and the first coat of skim-coat on the ceiling.  On Tuesday morning they applied the second skim-coat to the ceiling and second coat to all the drywall seams.   After leaving for a few hours to let things dry, they returned Tuesday afternoon to sand everything, and then do a few touch-ups.  It was ready for priming by late Tuesday evening.  I was amazed at how quickly and professionally the job was completed.
Paul also returned on Friday to do a couple of quick touch-ups to small defects that we noticed after we had primed everything.  We are very pleased with how everything looks.  I should also mention that this is our kitchen/living/dining area and there were many electrical boxes, a door, a window, and plumbing to work around.  I am also an engineer and DIYer so I am pretty meticulous about things.  Paul really knows his stuff and I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him.  He is also a very nice guy and his crew were very respectful.

"Both men were courteous. I was worried about the helper smoking in the house. There was no evidence of that happening. There was apparently some confusion about what was to be painted. Service Pro did Spackle work on the kitchen and family room ceilings, but only painted the kitchen ceiling. That just didn't seem to make sense. The kitchen ceiling is beautiful. The real issue is the lack-of-finish of the plaste work in the family room. An outside corner, which needed a metal edge replaced was badly crooked. I hit it twice to get it straight. I would have been ashamed to leave what they left, and I ma not the professional. (I did n"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

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.
