"Absolutely one of the best experiences we've had with contractors. The quality of workmanship is beyond what was expected, and I was expecting a great job! Instead we got a fantastic job! Ray is thoughtful, kind, fair and flexible. We will definitely be calling Ray again next year to do some inside painting for us! Thank you Ray and all of the workers who helped our "perfect home" come true!"

"Bill contacted us promptly and quickly gave us an estimate of what was needed and what it would cost. He told us that it could take up to 10 working days to complete. Antonio, Tom, and Bill arrived Tuesday and completed the bulk of the work by Saturday (5 working days) returning to move items back into place the following week. Antonio and Tom were here all days, and were polite and hard working, a joy to have work on our house. Bill arrived when the epoxy was going down, and was likewise polite and informative. All jobs have unexpected glitches, and they handled these with aplomb. We are very pleased with the result and are happy to recommend them to others."

"We hired Dan to paint the whole exterior of our ranch home, including pillars and garage. Due to a few rain days, the entire process took a little under two weeks, and he was able to start soon after the initial estimate. He did an excellent job power washing, scraping and painting our new home (with the paint we requested) exactly as we asked. He was responsive, professional, knowledgeable and understanding. We are so happy with the final product and love the way it looks. His price was more than fair, and far below other estimates. Highly recommend and would definitely use him again!"

"These men were so great, we were so happy with them! They were so quick to get back to me with estimates and were able to get drywall and painting done for an entire floor of the house in less than 2 weeks. They were amazing to work with, such nice guys and worked with us every step of the way to make sure we would have everything done before moving in. Couldn’t have asked for a better service in every possible way! We were so happy with how helpful they were the entire process. The best guys to work with and would recommend them to anyone. They made it possible for us to move in in time and had extremely reasonable prices. Pleasure to work with and will use them again in the future for anything else. Amazing guys, so happy we went with them!"

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need to apply paint primer to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn’t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won’t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.

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. 

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

When installing new steel doors, it’s smart to do other projects simultaneously. This can lower costs, limit mess, and help your home look and function better. For example, replacing a damaged doorframe is wise when planning door installations. 

Also consider changing broken or worn-out locks, repairing or replacing weather stripping, and updating handles. Painting, staining, or upgrading the trim around the door can also improve energy efficiency, security, and aesthetics.

Yes, you can apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling, but it requires significant preparation for a good result. Peel-and-stick wallpaper has a weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper and works best on smooth, non-textured surfaces like painted or primed drywall. Because wood paneling is often textured with grooves, any flaws in the underlying surface will likely be visible after application. To prepare the paneling, you must ensure the surface is free of cracks, holes, and protrusions by filling any indentations and sanding rough spots to create a smooth surface. An alternative is to remove the paneling and apply the wallpaper directly to the underlying drywall or plaster, provided it is in good condition.
