"Matt did an excellent job. He arrived on time. He inspected the damage & explained how the repair would be done. He gave us a fair price, which we agreed to, and then got right to work. All surfaces were covered with tape, drapes & tarps so that our floors, counters and cabinets remained clean. The hole in the ceiling was repaired & new plaster was applied & textured. The entire job was completed in less than 3 hours. All tape, drapes & tarps were removed, all floors were swept, every surface was cleaned before Matt left the premises."

" Bill and his crew did an outstanding job. Bill was very prompt scheduling the estimate and performing the service. He clearly explain what would we be done and presented me with a contract for services. Bill was on the job both days of the service.  He had two workers perform the job, both were excellent. I can tell his workers were quality people.  The first day the garage floor was scraped, acid washed and resurfaced. The second day the epoxy finish was applied. . So far I am very pleased with the work, as is my wife-- therefore I am doubly pleased."

"Timothy was very professional. He answered my inquiry in a timely fashion and then came on time for his appointment to look at what I wanted and give me an estimate. He then can back as discussed and painted my bedroom ceiling. He took his time and it was done neatly. No paint got on the floor or furniture. As he completed the work he asked I'd he could come back a few days later to see if he had to touch-up anything after seeing the dried results. I thought that was very nice and I appreciated it. I had a wonderful experience with Timothy and would definitely use him again."

"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!

"Zach and his team were very professional and listened to what I had in mind for the project and did an amazing job. The exterior paint project was a complete color change and I could not be happier with the outcome. Instant curb appeal and instant value to my home from Zach's work. The project was completed in a timely manner without feeling like they were trying to rush through to get to the next job. Zach took the time to make professional decisions about best sheen of paint to use for the exterior siding material and it shows that he has many years experience in this line of work. It is a relief when you hire the best person for the job and a relief that I will no longer have to shop around for a painter, as I plan to use Zach and company for all of my painting jobs inside and out."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.

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.

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.
