"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."

"Jim & Ben were on it... and the den now looks great! It was a dark worn wood look and now it's fresh and beautiful! Fantastic job! Jim recommended (in changing dark wood to a light color) to caulk all cracks and that was a tremendous suggestion. Everything was sprayed and they used Sherwin Williams Emerald paint...the primer and new coats of paint are smooth, even and very professionally done...really awesome! Jim even came back after the job was completed to touch-up and make it extra nice! Please, take our advise, get a quote from Jim BEFORE you give the job out...you won't be disappointed:)"

"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."

"I initially purchased a "Big Deal" for painting a few small exterior areas. Later that summer, following a city home inspection, I hired Kiss Coatings to paint the remainder of the house Kiss Coatings did a thorough job and were respectful when it came to communicating and cleaning up. However, they promised to return the following summer to do any necessary touch-up painting, which they did not do. I sent repeated messages to ask them to follow through on a couple of areas but I never received a response."

"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

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.
