"We chose Johnson's Professional Painting because our daughter had used them and was pleased with the results.  Both Travis and his coworker Sean worked very hard--seldom took a break--and did an outstanding job making sure the paint covered well.  Also, their work on the damaged wall was nothing short of amazing--the wall looks brand new! They caulked and made small repairs as needed without being told to do so, and they were very careful painting around some muraling in the front hall.  We had done some preparation for them to come, taking down pictures, emptying the dining room hutch, and removing switch plates,  but they moved all the heavy furniture.  What perhaps impressed us the most was that they both seemed to take a lot of pride in their work and were easy young men to have working in our home.

"I paid for service including estimated amount of paint needed in advance to take advantage of a zero interest offer on my credit card. I was told at the time he had 2 houses in front of mine and would be working on mine within a few weeks. A few weeks go by and i hear nothing so i reach out to him asking for a schedule for the painting. No answers and after several attempts no response. I was ready to cancel the work but had already paid. I called my credit card agency and they suggested a send my request in writing. I then wrote angies list identifying my issue. That was helpful in that they were able to contact the painter and then he would promply call me. He finally finished the painting yesterday afternoon and was preparing to leave as i pulled in from work. I quickly surveyed the job and found two areas i was not satisfied with. He made excuses that it was due to my house something or other...bush in the way...weak wood and brushed it off. Had he offered to work on the spots to my satisfaction i would likely rate him higher but he was in a big hurry to leave. Not at all what i expected."

"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."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.

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.

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.
