"In short, this was one of the best experiences we have ever had with a service provider.  I called CTS for an estimate and received a return call very quickly.  We arranged a time for Adrian to come over, and he showed up exactly on time.  He then emailed me the estimate promptly.  We thought the price seemed very fair for the amount of work we were asking them to do, so we scheduled the work for a couple days later.
The crew of 3 painters arrived exactly on time, got to work immediately, and had the bedroom wallpaper down within a couple of hours. After removing the paper, they were extremely conscientious about making sure the walls were perfect before painting. They cleaned them, then spackled and sanded several areas (and we were very impressed that they left no dust after sanding).  
The crew worked quickly, with only a brief lunch break, and didn't stop until both rooms were completely finished.  They cleaned up after themselves and put all furniture back.  We were amazed at the quality of work.  Both rooms are absolutely beautiful.  We plan to have them back to paint the rest of our house later this fall.

"Mr. Moyer is truly a professional and did such a great job repairing the damage.    During the process, I had one area that required drywall over an area that was to cover the pipes coming from the upstairs sink.    He noticed a drop of water on the drywall and I had to have plumber come out to repair the water leak under the sink.    It was such a subtle leak, but definitely needed repair prior to completing the job which could have caused more damage down the road if not detected.    He did an excellent clean up job as well once he completed the work."

"Mike and his team were amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure my house looked well put together and SO much more beautiful than it was before they began. We hired them for two jobs and each job was very well done. Both jobs required removal of wallpaper and painting. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to get their house painted or wallpaper removed."

"Cindy recently completed a project involving my half-bath which required some dry-wall patching and getting the walls in paint ready shape before she could paint. She charged a fair price and was willing to work with my schedule. She was concerned enough about the mirror she hung in the bathroom to return and make it more secure. What once was a disaster is now a fresh new looking bathroom."

"Cita and Serge did a first-rate job for us. They delivered a great new feel for our house - on time and on a tight budget.

From providing a detailed estimate to final cleanup, they were reliable, professional, and courteous.

Cita was a great help in selecting materials and finishes, providing excellent guidance in working through the many choices to be made.

Serge led all the work himself and was on site the vast majority of the time. When electrical service problems required extra work, his crew worked through the weekend without complaint. He made helpful recommendations, but left big decisions to us after he provided the facts and his opinion.

They also stand by their work and word. A couple of minor problems came to light after the job was done, and they were quick and effective in taking care of those.

A kitchen remodel is immensely disruptive and a bit stressful simply due to the inconvenience. Serge made sure to stage work to provide the best practical interim solutions and to get services and appliances working as soon as possible. In addition he and his crew are simply good people to have around."

"We had a small plumbing leak in our ceiling. They removed a small 12 inch x 12 inch piece of drywall. There was a small leak in a union of the pipe and a new section was soldered in. The guys did a great job. The hole was patched and they came back to second coat the drywall coating. The texture did match but we are pleased with the repair."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

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.

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.
