Donigan Painting provides paperless billing. To start a job we ask for materials money and 1/3 to get the ball rolling. Upon completion and satisfaction with the work the remaining balance is due. If there is additional work added this will be included in the final bill.

"I had cabinets painted that were promised in contract to have two coats of primer and 3 coats of paint. He said he made a mistake and it should have been 3 coats of primer and two coats of paint. Well, I didn’t get two coats of paint because you could still see the white primer through the paint. He also said the cabinets would be spray painted, but you can clearly see the paint was put on with a brush as the back of the door was not painted at all. He also broke one of the handles and told me that if I wanted that door to have a handle I would have to buy a new one. I was told the job would take a week but it took 2 weeks. When I contacted Bill about the issues it was two weeks after the job was complete as I was in the hospital recovering from surgery. I did however make sure I paid him in full so he didn’t have to wait until I recovered. I am attaching our exchange for the past 2 weeks. His responses are very unprofessional and he would reschedule to fix the job but never show up. He didn’t call; he just didn’t show up. I am still sitting here with unfinished cabinets 2 weeks later and 2,500 dollars poorer. I wish I could post more than 10 photos so that everyone could see the conversation about the door handle and how he decided what he put In the contract was an accident. I chose the 10 pictures of our latest conversation instead. As you can see from the photos there is no way there was two coats put on those gray cabinets."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You can paint over wallpaper if it’s smooth and in good shape. But if there are bumps or tears in the wallpaper, they’ll likely show through the paint. Similarly, you should avoid painting over textured wallpaper because the ridges and patterns in the paper will be visible. In either of these situations, you should remove the wallpaper before painting.

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.

In most cases, you cannot wallpaper over existing wallpaper. It’s possible to wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but vinyl-coated wallpaper is much more prevalent in homes, so you generally shouldn’t put new wallpaper over existing wallpaper. Adding a layer of wallpaper over vinyl-coated paper will lead to poor adhesion, leaving behind bubbles and imperfections in your wall. Plus, wallpapering over vinyl-coated wallpaper can lead to mold growth, which can be hazardous to your health. It’s usually best to hire a local wallpaper removal service to handle the task to avoid these issues.

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

The fastest way to remove wallpaper is usually to spray the paper with a mixture of hot water and either vinegar or dish soap, let it soak in, and then scrape off the wallpaper using a putty knife. Unfortunately, this process can easily damage your walls if you spray too much or scrape too aggressively. Your best bet is to call in a professional wallpaper remover who knows how much to wet the walls and how much pressure to apply when scraping the paper off. They might also use steamers and other tools to speed up the process.
