Our core group of workers have an average tenure of 10+ years with our company. The painters have both interior and exterior painting expertise. We generally require a 50% deposit on the day we arrive with the balance due upon receipt of invoice at the end of the project. Larger projects require multiple progress payments. We do our best to communicate expectations with the Client and to answer all questions and concerns. We are extremely dependable and have very polite, respectful employees you will enjoy having in your home. We look forward to hearing from you so we can provide a free estimate.

"Anthony and the team he uses for kitchen cabinet painting/resurfacing were excellent. We couldn't be happier with the quality of work when the transformed our honey oak cabinets to white.

"Sean agreed to squeeze me into his busy schedule after he came to assess the work that needed to be done. Within a couple of weeks, he came on the agreed upon dates and painted both rooms as we’d discussed. His work is excellent and he left my home spotless after he completed his work. I hired Sean after he had done excellent work for me at a previous residence. He’s very professional and his prices are fair for the outstanding work he does. I will hire him again when the need arises."

We are a full service interior remodeling company. Focusing on kitchens, bathrooms, basements, painting, electrical, plumbing and more. We look forward to working with you to make your home what you have always dreamed it could be.

"We went through a months-long process sitting with different local contractors and trying to see if we could make our project happen within budget. When we met Allen of Your Remodel Pro, right out of the gate I just had a good feeling that he was the right fit. I always like being proven right. Professionalism every step of the way, our crew (Darien and Eric) was always on-time, trustworthy, accommodating and respectful of our family's space. They were a pleasure to have around. And the work speaks for itself. The attention to detail that they put in was spectacular and extended to every facet of the project. Allen was always available to discuss anything that came up and always happy to review our options thoroughly and advise us appropriately. Our kitchen is everything we wanted it to be and the meticulous work put in by Allen and crew just flashes from the minute you walk in. Again, just incredibly grateful that we were put in touch, and looking forward to booking our next project."

"We had the complete exterior of our home and trim painted. Ryan is very professional and we were extremely impressed with his presentation of what he could offer when he came for the estimate. We had a great experience with this company. Ryan and his team were promptly there at 8am each morning as promised and completed the job in the amount of time as proposed. We are extremely impressed with the hand painting rather than the spray painting that other companies offered. We continue to receive compliments on how nice of a job was done on our house.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You can paint over wallpaper, but it’s not usually recommended, especially if the wallpaper underneath is textured or dirty. If you do decide to paint your wallpaper, make sure it’s in good condition and clean it very well. Make sure all corners and edges of wallpaper are glued down before you paint, as well.

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

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

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