"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."

"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.)"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.

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. 

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. 

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.
