"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."

"1860 house that was in dire need of a facelift. I took a chance on New Life Painting and I am glad that I did. it is refreshing to finally find a contractor who actually believes in customer satisfaction, pride in their workmanship and they go the extra mile to make sure that everything that needs to be done is done. Ray and his crew work as a team and they are good at what they do and are very open to discuss the work with the customer. When the job was completed Ray asked that my wife and I go around the house and look at it carefully and if we find anything that needs a touch up to give him a call. My daughter came to look at the house and saw something even we missed. I called Ray, he answered his phone right away and said he would take care of it. We am impressed with this company. Thank you for all of your hard work our house looks awesome."

"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!

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

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.

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.

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.

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.
