"In 2014 Matthew Mulcahy repaired a hole in our living room ceiling from a bathroom leak and also textured the ceiling in the living room, stairwell and hallway in 2014. We live in an old house and the ceilings were cracked with plaster and lath underneath. He did an excellent job and our old ceilings looked new! We recently (Dec 2021) had a leak in our bathroom that caused a hole in the same spot. Ugh, I thought we would need the entire ceiling redone. But Matthew was able to repair the damaged area and match the texturing from years ago - all at a very reasonable price. He is friendly, professional and extremely neat. The work he did was in the midst of our Christmas tree and decorations and he cleaned the area to better than he found it! Thanks Matthew! I 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."

"My drywall was a mess after taking down 1970s-era foil wallpaper.  He skimmed my walls and made them look great!  He really wants the job to come out terrific, so once everything is put back into the bathroom (toilet, vanity, floor), he's going to come by to touch up any damage to the drywall caused by the installers.  His price was very reasonable, too.
It's hard to find a really adept drywaller.  If you're looking for someone to do your drywall, you've found your man!

"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

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.
