"Steve put up a sliding screen door that I bought on line from Home Depot. He did a spectacular job. He knows how to read directions and when the door was completed in under 30 minutes it worked perfectly. He is a perfectionist and very neat workman. Hire him for any job that requires a skilled craftsman. He does superior work . When he was finished I asked him to complete another job I had been putting off; Removing and cleaning the down spout in front of my house; He did it and also took the time to add a leaf catcher so It wont have to be removed again. I am glad that Steve is a local business man . I look forward to recommending him to my neighbors and friends. I am sure they will be pleased with his work."

"AllStar Painting and Contracting did a fantastic job from start to finish.  They are much more than just a painting company! They installed 6 doors, moldings, removed wallpaper, repaired walls, and much more.  Danny is a true professional (and perfectionist) and was cognizant to all our requests throughout the entire process.  They treat your home as if it was their own.  This type of attention to detail has generated their tremendous reviews and repeat business.  Danny, James, Ryan and the rest of the crew were wonderful.  James provided a fair and timely estimate and the work was completed to our extremely high standards.  I will definitely be contacting AllStar for all my painting and contracting needs in the near future!  I recommend you do the same.

"The work that was done was done very well.  His workers were courteous and clean and showed up early.  He was very careful about doing exactly what I wanted so there may have been a lot of phone calls back and forth - more than i would have liked- but the truth is the work got done well and the way i wanted so it was better than him guessing.  He even made a suggestion that saved me a lot of money, instead of removing a whole wall of wallpaper where just a little wallpaper got wet and lifted, he reglued the wallpaper and put up moulding on the bottom and it looks great.  "

"Very Satisfied.  Arrived on time - called before arriving.  I had removed the top layer of the wallpaper initially, therefore, they only had to remove the backing of paper.  However, it had been done many years ago with wallpaper paste, which made it difficult to remove.  but they never stopped trying, and did not leave until it was finished (without a break)  I don't remember their names, but one was Pierre (both very helpful with tips on what to do and recommended a primer for the wall after job was completed. The other gentleman spackled areas of wall where needed which I don't think he had to do.  They also left remaining supplies in case I needed - which I  thought was very nice.
My only recommendation would be the use of a powerful steamer which I have heard  other contractors use instead of the little scrapper, and wallpaper removal liquid.   l believe would have made it easier to removed especially when paste has been used instead of the prepasted wall paper.
Otherwise, I was very satisfied, and would recommend.

"I had hired Nick a couple of years ago to paint the outside of the house I was living in. His men did an incredible job. When I bought my apartment, I called him in to do the work. I did not even bother to get another estimate. He is expensive, and worth every penny. He painted a 2400 sq. ft. apartment to my color specifications, hung wallpaper, removed a closet door and framed it out for a new bifold door, attached door stops and switch and outlet plates, had his electrician  hang fixtures, and do wiring for TV and internet. He removed a whole wall of mirror which was becoming detached from the wall, and repaired and painted that wall. No one would ever know anything had hung there at one time. I did wind up paying over and hove the figure above, because I then had the electrician remove a good bit of recessed lighting, and install LED lighting."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in.
