1997 years of experience

Family owned and operated business that started out as a part time business specializing in deck care and restoration and has grown into a full time home service firm. We have 27 years of experience in the field and take pride in our work. Punctual, courteous, neat and attention to detail are how our clients describe us. Referrals account for nearly 50% of our business and we take that very seriously. Now serving parts of Lee county in Florida for the winter months. Our services range from general handyman to bathroom remodeling. Jobs can be priced by the project or by the hour. No job is too big or small. Consultations are always free and can be worked around your schedule. When we are hired to do work, we never use subcontractors. Our name is too important for someone to tarnish it. The owner is always on the job and doesn't just send in a "crew" to complete the work.

"Excellent. Great job; good & fair price for quality work; good communication from owner; done in and on time as quoted and within estimate. Very satisfied... I would use them again and I will suggest that my friends and relatives do also. I'm very happy."

"After reading reviews about Kathy and her work, it seemed too good to be true. It isn't. I didn't bother contacting anyone else after meeting with her. Even though she is scheduled well into the future, we felt she was waiting for. In short, we couldn't be more pleased. She spent 13 days completely repainting our interior and it looks amazing. She was on time every day, easy to work with, and her work is incredibly good. We are already recommending her to family and friends, which we don't typically do. She's that good!"

JS Painting INC is Rochester's premiere painting company that provides professional interior and exterior painting services throughout Monroe County with unmatched attention to detail. I started this business up by doing various side jobs while working for a few painting companies. I realized my true and full potential from fixing co workers mistakes and pointing out various things in a job that where skipped over, poorly done or totally missed made me realize it was time to go ! I was the guy constantly fixing other peoples work . Why fix something when it was supposed to be done right and thoroughly the first time ! It was time to give homeowners real true value they truly deserve! The difference between myself and other companies is I have built my name and face strictly with honesty and integrity! You worked and still work very hard for your home so don't just hire anyone hire the company that cares about its client and there home. We never disappoint ! My prices are fair and honest ! I work by myself and occasionally have a few guys that help me when needed. The reason a small crew is better in my opinion then a larger crew is there is more concentration on being thorough and meticulous being 1-4 man crew. The other positive to a smaller crew is you don't have 10 people in or on the outside of your house ! Trust is a must always ! A company with a large crew may wow the average homeowner with getting the job done in one day but i almost guarantee the quality wont be as strong as if it were to be 2-4 guys.. May take a little longer but the quality and commitment to excellence will be worth it ! I take a lot of pride and excellence into each and every job and it is simply my passion ! I love what i do and making people happy with my finish product is worth every second of my day working for you ! My commitment to excellence is painted into every job! Give us a call and book your next project with JS Painting INC ! We are fully insured and give free estimates!

"J&S did an excellent job. The preparation work was meticulous: power washing, sanding, washing, drying and then painting - oil primer and lastly 2 top coats. The same with finishing the work - cleaning, including vacuuming around the house. The house looks like new. John was always on time, professional and pleasure to work with. I would recommend J&S without hesitation to everybody."

Warren Engineering has been specializing in building and home inspections for over 35 years. We have performed over 70,000 home and commercial inspections: far exceeding any other area inspection firm. We are the mostly highly regarded home inspection consulting firm in the Rochester NY area. Most inspectors are licensed by NYS to perform Home Inspections. So are we. But, we are also licensed professional engineers. We also have a registered Architect on staff . As P.E.s we are recognized by NYS to attest to the structural integrity of a building. Home Inspectors are not permitted to provide such an analysis. Our evaluations are also accepted by FHA and HUD. Why hire just a Home Inspector, when you can hire an Engineer or Architect to inspect your house? Our reports are detailed narrative reports that specifically describe our findings in an easily understandable manner. Digital photography is also utilized to enhance and personalize the report. Other home inspection firms will provide a more general and “boiler plate” check sheet format, usually provided by a franchise organization. Don't be fooled by excessive fluff and inflammatory language in a report. Instead, trust common sense and factual information. We work for you, and only you! Although we enjoy a great reputation with the real estate community in the Rochester area, we understand it is the home buyer that we must serve. Warren Engineering does not have any financial bond with real estate companies, including payment of advertising fees in exchange for referrals. We will never compromise the service we provide to you! We look forward to serving you! Additional DBAs - Larry H. Warren PE, Warren Larry H PE PC.

"Inspection was for a new build 1 year checkout. The inspector didn't find any major issues (which is what we want right!?), but he did find some minor issues we could have the builder resolve. Stuff like a vent that had disconnected in the ceiling cavity so they were things we would want resolved. He had feedback for care of some other items that we should be managing now to keep working well for the future so I feel the cost was worth it for not only those things he caught, but also the peace of mind that we don't have major issues missed. Inspector was punctual. Delivered a paper summary report from his walk through upon leaving and sent a digital more verbose copy through email over the weekend so we had everything pretty quick. In hindsight I would have brought them along for our early build inspections as I'm sure they would have caught some items we had to have fixed during our first year that could have been avoided. No one was perfect, but the issues seemed to be present enough in his mind that he saw what happened and had recommendations to improve beyond what the builder did for more lasting repair."

A family run business since 1954. We've always kept our business small enough to take personal care of each homeowner who entrusts their painting needs to us. We enjoy having repeat customers who appreciate the extra care and fair pricing we're able to maintain each time we serve them.

"EXCELLENT - Charlie and his crew were great. Although the personnell changed mid way through, his leadership is reflected in the quality of the work. Great work and great personal ethics."

What was supposed to be a way to make a little extra money turned out to be much more. He realized he was good enough to start his own business, one that emphasized customer service. Sunny Days has been growing since the beginning with a client list that includes well known doctors, lawyers, THE Mayor, Deputy Mayor, city councilman, county legislators, business owners, fellow contractors, and many, many homeowners all over NY state. Our crew of employees represent over 70 years experience in painting and home improvement and are all dedicated to their craft as artisans.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You can wallpaper and paint over certain types of wallpaper, but it’s usually a better idea to remove it first. Removing the wallpaper and prepping the wall before painting is a good way to guarantee a smooth finish that looks professional. If you ever have a moisture or water issue after painting over wallpaper, the paper will bubble and damage your wall. Additionally, you should never paint over wallpaper already peeling or otherwise damaged, as this will leave obvious imperfections in your wall and could lead to additional problems.

For the most part, peel-and-stick wallpaper doesn't damage walls. However, there may be some cases when damage does occur. For example, if you try to rip the paper off the wall, you may pull away some paint at the same time.

The walls can also be damaged if they aren't prepared properly before you add the wallpaper. For example, if the coat of paint is too fresh when you put the wallpaper on the walls, it can peel away as you remove the paper. 

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.

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.

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.
