WALLPAPER EXPERTISE

I called Larry on Saturday. He gave me an exact quote on Monday and had the wallpaper removed by the time I got to my rental property on Tuesday at 9:30am. Amazing! My only regret is that I did not get a chance to meet him. Fast, Friendly, Professional, Clean! What more can you ask for?

Mr. Menefee did a fabulous job. He showed up at exactly the time he said he would, went right to work, obviously knew what he was doing, finished the entire room in about 5 hours without taking a break! The paper is hung flawlessly (as far as we can tell) and the room looks fantastic.

I think Larry did just fine and a good job removing very, very difficult wall paper.

Larry was by far the most responsive service provider I spoke with when getting estimates. All phone calls were promptly returned, and he scheduled the work the following week, arrived on time, and completed the work very quickly (a couple of hours for the small room and about 4 hours for the large room). However, be aware that he does not remove the paste or patch the walls, which takes the most time to complete (I've spent days working on and still have many days to complete before I can start painting). In an old house like ours with crumbling plaster and multiple layers of paint and paper, this can be a huge undertaking. In hindsight, I probably would have hired someone who would leave the walls ready to paint.

Larry arrived promptly at the scheduled time and began work immediately. He was personable and patient with answering all of my questions. The final charge was exactly what he had estimated. He was meticulous with his work, did not cause any damage to the underlying drywall and cleaned up well when he was finished. The whole project took about two hours. I was very pleased and will use him again in the future. A note for allergy sufferers: He used plain water in the wallpaper removal process--there was no chemical odor. He did not smell like cigarette smoke and he did not smoke at any time anywhere on my property.

Excellent. We have had many good comments about the bathrooms. 1 small 2" by 2" area had a wrinkle. He's fine and quick. Neat.

Not only did he come as soon as I contacted him, but he also arrived promptly at the designated time each day. He brought all the necessary equipment, cleaned up after himself, and even vacuumed the whole area.

I CALLED HIM ONE AFTERNOON AND HE WAS HERE THE NEXT MORNING TO DO THE JOB. HE WAS NEAT, PROFESSIONAL, AND DID THE JOB IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER.

ON TIME, POLITE, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND REMOVED MY PAPER WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE!!

GOOD EXPERIENCE ON THIS JOB, WHICH WAS ONE THAT I HAD NO DESIRE TO FINISH. ON TIME FOR QUOTE AND FOR REMOVAL. NICE GUY, HARD WORKER.

HE BENT OVER BACKWARDS FOR US. HE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND. HE WAS CLEAN, NEAT, AND ORDERLY.

EXCELLENT RESPONSIVENESS. CAME TO THE OFFICE THE SAME DAY THAT I CALLED AND HAD A QUOTE TO ME BY THE END OF THE DAY. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED OVER A WEEKEND TO NOT INTERFERE WITH OUR REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS. SHOWED EXCELLENT ORGANIZATION, EFFICIENCY, AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

THE EMPLOYEE STRIPPED THE WALL PAPER FROM THE WALLS LINING THE STEPS. HE PUT UP WALLPAPER IN THE FOYER, ALONG THE STEPS AND IN THE DEN. HE ALSO PUT A BORDER IN THE DEN. HE DOES NICE WORK PUTTING UP THE PAPER. HE IS ON TIME. HE CLEANS UP AFTER HIMSELF AND IS VERY NICE. MY ONE COMPLAINT IS THAT HE DOES NOT DO SIZING OR PATCH THE HOLES. I GUESS I EXPECTED THAT HE WOULD. IT ISN'T A BIG PROBLEM SINCE THESE WALLS WERE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. THE PAINT DID COME OFF THE WALLS IN A FEW PLACES WHILE STRIPPING AND THOSE WERE NOT PATCHED. IT REALLY DOESN'T SHOW UP WITH PATTERN ON THE PAPER. I WOULD USE HIM AGAIN UNLESS THE WALLS NEEDED A LOT OF PATCHING. I DO THINK HE SHOULD LET YOU KNOW AHEAD OF TIME THAT HE DOESN'T DO SIZING & PATCHING.

NOT ONLY DID LARRY ANSWER ALL OF MY QUESTIONS (IT WAS LINER PAPER, WHAT IT IS FOR, WHETHER I SHOULD KEEP IT AND WHY), BUT HE PROCEEDED TO OFFER ME TIPS ON HOW TO BEST REMOVE THE WALLPAPER MYSELF. THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WASN'T CALLING TO OFFER THE COMPANY ANY BUSINESS. IF I DO END UP NEEDING HELP REMOVING OR REPLACING THE WALLPAPER, I WOULD ABSOLUTELY CALL HIM BACK.

HE WAS GREAT, DID A GREAT JOB. HE WAS ON TIME CLEAN AND NEAT, PRICE WAS GREAT.

NEAT, ORDERLY, PUNCTUAL, SPEEDY & GREAT QUALITY. THE MOST PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDER OF ALL THOSE I HIRED FOR MY OLD HOUSE & NEW HOUSE THIS PAST YEAR. HE IMMEDIATELY SET UP FREE ESTIMATE, EXPLAINED ENTIRE PROCESS, AND COST ON FIRST PHONE CALL. HIS ARRIVAL EXTREMELY EARLY IN THE MORNING MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO BE DONE & GONE PRIOR TO THE TIME I HAD TO LEAVE FOR WORK. HE SET UP QUICKLY, HAVING BROUGHT ALL HIS OWN EQUIPMENT INCLUDING HIS OWN LARGE WASTE RECEPTACLE. HE PROTECTED EVERY PART OF MY HOUSE AND MY BELONGINGS SO THERE WAS NO NEED OF CLEAN UP ONCE HE COMPLETED THE JOB. EXCELLENT RESULTS.

LARRY RETURNED MY CALL PROMPTLY AND WAS ABLE TO SCHEDULE MY JOB WITHIN TWO DAYS. HE ARRIVED EXACTLY WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD AND FINISHED THE JOB IN AN HOUR. HE DID A GREAT JOB FOR ME.

HE WAS ON TIME AND CALLED ME PROMPTLY WHEN I LEFT A MESSAGE. HOWEVER, HE COULD HAVE SAVED US BOTH A LOT OF TIME BY JUST COMING TO TAKE A LOOK. WHEN HE ARRIVED TO DO THE WORK AND SAW THE BORDER FRIEZE, HE BECAME CONCERNED ABOUT THE PASTE HURTING HIS BRUSHES AND TABLE. AGAIN, VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. A LOT OF WASTED TIME!

MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS VERY GOOD. HOWEVER, THIS WAS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE EVER WITH WALLPAPER AND THERE WERE A COUPLE ITEMS THAT CONCERNED ME. IN GENERAL, I FELT LARRY SHOULD HAVE DONE A PERSONAL ESTIMATE INSTEAD OF OVER THE PHONE WHEN I TOLD HIM IT WAS AN OLDER HOME. HE ADVISED US BETWEEN THE REMOVAL AND REPAPERING TO RESIZE THE WALLS. GLAD HE DID, BUT WE WERE LUCKY WE ALREADY WE HAD A PAINTER LINED UP TO PAINT THE CEILING. THE RESIZING WASN''T CHEAP EITHER. FELT A PERSONAL ESTIMATE MIGHT HAVE PROVIDED A HEADS UP. CHARGE TO REMOVE WALLPAPER OF MAX PER ROLL (16$) FELT A LITTLE STEEP SINCE IT TOOK HIM ONLY 3 HOURS. AFTER THE JOB, ASKED LARRY TO LOOK AT A BUBBLE IN THE WALL. LARRY SAID IT WAS THE WALL AND WE WERE LUCKY OUR PLASTER DIDN''T HAVE MORE FLAWS. EVEN A DRASTIC OR COSTLY SOLUTION LIKE HAVING LARRY REMOVE THE PAPER, HAVE THE PAINTER RETURN TO SAND THE WALL, THEN HAVE LARRY REPAPER WOULD HAVE BEEN WELCOME SO THAT WE COULD MAKE A DECISION FOR OURSELVES.

WORKED WELL AND EFFICIENTLY IN A SMALL SPACE. IMPRESSED BY HIS QUICKNESS, HAVE DECIDED TO USE HIM FOR OTHER WORK. VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE.

HAD ONLY 3 ROLLS OF DISCONTINUED PAPER THAT I NEEDED PUT UP ON STAIRWAY AND HALL. LARRY FOUND A WAY TO PUT IT UP THAT SAVED PAPER SO THERE WAS NO WASTE AND SO ALL AREA WAS COVERED. THANKS

I FOUND THE PRINT ON MY OWN AND HIRED HIM TO INSTALL IT. HE DID A VERY NICE JOB. HES PUNCTUAL, EFFICIENT, TRUSTWORTHY AND OTHER THAN SEEING THE RESULTS I COULDNT TELL HE HAD BEEN HERE (CLEANED UP VERY WELL).

STRIPPED 25 YEAR OLD PAPER FROM MY HALLWAY AND FAMILY ROOM AND REPAPERED. LARRY IS A TRUE EARLY BIRD. LIKES STARTING EARLY IN THE AM SO HE CAN FINISH

VERY GOOD COMMUNICATION AND FOLLOW-UP. ON TIME WITH APPT. VERY FRIENDLY.

VERY BUSINESSLIKE AND WAS WILLING TO TAKE A SMALL JOB
