"Jim is trustworthy, ethical, careful, and does high-quality work. He refinished existing cabinets for me, added slow-close hinges, and switched pull-out shelves for a trash can unit. Very satisfied."

"Travis Johnson of Johnson Professional Painting did an excellent job on painting the exterior of our house. He responded quickly when I requested a bid from him and, after getting two additional bids, I gave him the job. Our house is a tri-level and on the large side, with some brick but also a substantial amount of wood siding and wood shutters and doors. Travis’ bid beat the other companies I solicited for the job by a significant margin. His proposed bid, in fact, made me wonder if the quality of his work was be less than the higher bidders. That fear was allayed the first day he began the job. We requested that all areas to be painted be power-washed and that was reflected in the statement of work. Trying to dodge of a string of rain days, Travis and his crew came over the next day and power-washed not only the wood to be painted, but also all the bricks, gutters, downspouts, and even a patio fence that was stained with mildew. When we saw he had done this, we reminded him we only requested the wood to be painted be cleaned. He responded that it wasn’t much more effort to do the extra work for no additional cost. We were impressed by that approach to the job. This demonstration of Travis’ team’s commitment to customer satisfaction and pride in workmanship was evident throughout the remaining two days of work. The team patched a lot of woodpecker holes and sanded areas that needed it and did a fantastic job. Travis and his team were polite, considerate, and friendly but their work demonstrated a level of professionalism that, in my opinion and experience, is not as common as it used to be. We inspected the work in progress and before we could advise Travis of the areas we thought needed more, we found he had already inspected the job in progress and made the necessary fixes. We also noted that Travis applied two full coats of paint on all surfaces and he even applied more where he thought it was needed. The front door, for example had five coats applied and it looks great. The bottom line is that we were extremely pleased with Travis and his Johnson’s Professional Painters team and would recommend him highly to our friends and family for any house-painting job. Given the attention to detail reflected in Travis’ work on our house exterior, we have no doubt that we will employ him if we need interior painting done as well."

"I highly recommend Mama &Papa Bears painting for anyone who has a project they need finishing. I had a textured ceiling in my garage that needed repairing and I was worried about getting the texture matched. They came out to the house on a Saturday and while prepping the area discovered another issue. Instead of just painting over the patch, they went above and beyond what I asked them to do and I’m extremely happy with how it turned out. I plan to use them again for some future projects. They are fair priced and very responsive to both text and phone call."

"Keshon and Timothy were our crew. Wow. I'm impressed. The. Best. Movers. I. Have. Ever. Used. They called me to see if they could come early. We weren't near ready. Didn't fase them. We had two dogs- standard poodle puppy and a toy poodle. They helped me put the dogs in the bathroom when they got out of the house. They were so kind, patient and sincere to my elderly Mom. They moved things out of the way quickly and efficiently and then patiently placed the dressers just where Mom wanted. Things were VERY dusty. Never a complaint. They found cash- immediately pointed out to me or my son. I asked for a large TV to go in my car- done. I would trust these guys to come not only back but to be in our home while I'm at work - something that I would rarely do. They are THAT professional. Excellent, hardworking gentlemen. Highly, extremely recommend them. (I'm very picky.)"

"It went very well.  The only thing that was an issue (and a very minor one at that) is that he was 15 minutes late with no phone call.  But his work was quality, so I tend to overlook that.  Every other time he has come out (for estimate, samples, etc) he has been punctual or called ahead to tell us he was running late.
I was very pleased with the work he did.  Our nursery looks fantastic now.  The ceiling looks great, and the fan is hung properly.  It looks very professional.  I know it was done correctly.  He talked me through every step of the process, and let me know what he was doing.  I now feel that the nursery is safe for our baby."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

To layer wallpaper over wallpaper, inspect your existing wallpaper for problem areas. Damaged wallpaper should not be covered. If it’s okay to proceed, prep by turning off the electricity and removing any outlet and switch covers. Dust your walls and lightly rinse them to prevent the existing paper from peeling. Apply primer, then apply your new wallpaper.

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. 

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.

No, you don’t need to apply paint primer to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn’t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won’t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.
