"“Veterans Tile”, Sergio Jr, and his crew came highly recommended by our neighbor who had her own work done by them. We had a massive project in front of us, as our existing back patio and front porch (circa 1957) was a crumbling mess of concrete. We had multiple contractors come in for estimates, and most of them told us that the scope of work was too much for them to handle, and others came in with astronomical estimates. Being fairly new to the Hudson Valley, this made us uneasy on whether we would ever get this done? When Sergio Jr accompanied with his dad came, their demeanor was with complete confidence, respectful and with a smile. Every aspect was explained to us from start to finish. The work started, and finished in exactly 9 days, as we added more projects on like an additional walkway, as well as shoring up the footings on our rear deck. The crew did phenomenal and professional restoration. We look forward to working together again. Very satisfied!"

We are a full service painting company offering high quality craftsmanship, and great attention to detail. In business since 1980, we serve Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Orange, Ulster, Sullivan, and also Fairfield County, CT. The most important step in a high quality paint job is in the preparation: plastering, taping, compounding, skim coating.... and washing surfaces prior to priming/ painting. We are experts in this area. We also do carpentry repairs, and other home improvement projects. On exteriors, we use both low, and high pressure cleaning methods to destroy mildew/mold, and remove loose, peeling paint. We use both LOW, and ZERO V.O.C.(Volatile Organic Compound) paints, and stains, which are healthier for the homeowner, and the environment. One brand is totally non-toxic, for those with chemical sensitivities. Along with my employees, I personally do the physical work on nearly all of my jobs. If there are any questions, or concerns, I am right there to answer them. I have a long list of satisfied, repeat customers, which is available upon request. We gladly offer free estimates, promptly, and in writing. Please call Bob at (914) 262-2474 to schedule an estimate..

"Bob and his team did a great job. They worked fast around our timeline and did a thorough quality job."

"Our house is in a historical district and approval is needed from the Historical Commission before work can be done. There was other work already scheduled on the property and Felipe was understanding that the exterior painting had to wait. When it was time for the painting, Felipe scheduled the work without much delay. Felipe informed us at each step during the painting, ie, replacing siding. The workers were friendly and respectful. Considering the work to be done, it was completed in a timely manner even though there were a few rainy days."

LDR Group is the wholly owned subsidiary of the corporate parent Miscellaneous Enterprises Etcetera LLC, as originally formed in 1993 as a Delaware corporation, and later formed in New York in 2008 in the depths of the Great Recession. Originally doing business as Local Dad Repairs, it had at it's heart the goal of helping people in our community keep their homes repaired in hard times. In 2016, with the economy booming and the need for our services diminished,the company shifted it's focus to commercial consulting, serving millwork (custom woodwork and cabinet) companies in the NYC and Washington DC markets. When the corona virus pandemic besieged us all, we realized that there was an opportunity to once again serve our community, but in a more future focused manner that made full use of the skills gained in energy efficiency and home improvement we had developed over the years. LDR is now focused on providing a very special, very important need to our community and our world-hyper energy efficient Passive House buildings as new homes and home renovations. We will no longer do smaller remodeling projects like kitchens, baths, additions and basements. We have moved on to doing just whole house Passive House 'Renphits' or new build Passive House homes. Ask us how we can reduce the energy your home uses by up to 90%!

"Jeff and his team are very thorough, communicative, skilled, extremely knowledgeable and committed to excellence. He guided us from design and engineering and applications, researching materials and finding subcontractors ,through construction. He solved problems as they arose. He kept work moving despite covid, snowstorms and holidays! Recommend highly!"

Almost 80 years ago, Charles Apap came to this country from Malta. His first job was that of a painter's apprentice. Three generations later, the Apap family is still passionate about painting homes. The key to our success is simple: we give the customers what they want. Our painting business has prospered as a result of our ability to deliver superior service, extra attention to detail and a dedicated staff. Our employees undergo monthly in house training in safety, customer service, faux finishing techniques, and are kept up to date on the latest painting trade innovations and materials.

"George Apap Painting is a great company to work with. We have used them many, many times in the past and have always been extremely satisfied. Jose was a wonderful painter. He was professional, on time, courteous, meticulous and very respectful of our property from the prep work to the actual painting. He kept the rooms clean and removed all materials. Jose worked diligently, but didn't rush, resulting in an impressive, beautiful job! We are very happy and would highly recommend Jose and the company to anyone. "

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

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.

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

Costs depend on wallpaper type, wall condition, labor, and necessary repairs.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.
