His team is fantastic too; Sean and Manzur are so friendly, talented, and very accommodating. I cannot recommend Damone Painting and Drywall enough!!"

"Because of the severe deterioration of previous paint jobs, AAA Custom Painting needed to sand, grind and scrape about 2/3 of the house down to bare wood before they could power wash, re-sand, prime and paint our entire home. It was a very hot Spring and they had to wear complete body cover and face respirators for the sanding/grinding preparation, but they came every day that the weather cooperated and worked for hours and hours in the hot sun. The whole job took quite a long time (6 1/2 weeks), partly due to weather and partly because they don't usually work weekends, but both the owner, Andres Osses, and all of the workers were always friendly and easy to talk to about everything we wanted.  They even started coming on Saturdays when we told them that we had an important deadline for finishing the job. 
Not only did they do an outstanding job painting the house, but they also paid attention to all the details, like patching cracks and holes in our very old wood siding, and removing light fixtures and downspouts to paint behind them so nothing was missed.  They also cleaned up after themselves and put everything back when they were all done.
Our only (minor) complaint was that it was sometimes difficult to get in touch with Andres and he didn't always let us know when they would or would not be at the house, but the bottom line is this:
THEY DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB PAINTING THE EXTERIOR OF OUR HOUSE (and their estimate was lower than other companies for the exact same work).  THE HOUSE LOOKS FANTASTIC AND WE WOULD USE THEM AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

White walls are considered a classic and timeless look and will most likely always be in style. A white wall easily blends into any type of home decor style which makes it a suitable option for most homeowners. Another appealing quality about white walls is that if it's not a color someone is going for, the color is easy to paint over.

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.
