"The young men were very courtesy and respectful. Was always on time each day. Took very short lunch breaks. I hired them again to paint the inside of my house . They did a beautiful job on my kitchen cabinets . Painted dark brown cabinets to light gray! Mr. Rose always checked to make sure everything was satisfactory. I would highly recommend them."
"Andy and his son just completed a project for us. They removed popcorn and painted the ceiling in a bathroom (part of which was 18' high) and painted that bathroom. The cost was less than other quotes we received. Since we were on a roll, we also had him refinish our front and back doors with stain and paint and install a grab bar. They were great to work with, Andy returns calls promptly and arrived when he said he'd be here. We're pleased with the job and would recommend them both."
"Craftsman Interiors did drywall repair and interior painting for me. The work was top notch. I had a tight turn-around time and they met it easily. Communication was excellent and the price was reasonable. Highly recommend."
"Really professional guy gave estimate and set the guys up for the first day on the job. Price was negotiable and seemed to be dependent on whether the company had other jobs for their guys to work on. The 2 guys who did the job were Hispanic, and I had some trouble communicating with them while they were on the job. It took them quite awhile to actually complete it, but I think the results and price were very good. I wish they could have worked a little more efficiently- showed up kind of late each morning, took long lunch breaks, then left around 5:00. So the whole project took about 2.5 days when I was expecting 1.5. I am a perfectionist, and I did have to be assertive and point out any places where I felt needed work. They made some mistakes in a few places, but nothing egregious. The guys were willing to accommodate where I had issues. "

"They were very detail oriented, knowledgeable, experienced, did a great job removing improperly glued - hard to remove wallpaper, and then cleaned up every little scrap. I liked their work so much the first time I rehired them to remove wallpaper from three more rooms. I m ex-military, and I like everything done right the first time; every time. Experienced! Impressive! Honest people with fair prices. I happily recommend All American Wallpaper and Paint."
"Wow, what a difference! Our walls were a hot mess before Jud and Luke came to town. The previous owners attempted faux painting in two rooms, and there were years of bad repairs. Not to mention all the damage from removing crown molding. Artistry Painting took it from gross to stunning. They even rented a special piece of equipment to reduce the sanding dust since we had so many repairs. Their painting is clean and sharp, and their wallpaper work is top notch. They bent over backwards trying to please me. I would most definitely hire them again. "
"Excellent detailed painting, always on time or communicated, prep and clean up were excellent. Worked diligently. Finished ahead of schedule. Price was fair."
"AFter I had packed and was ready to move I gave Lee a key, and moved to my new house out-of-state. When I came back, 2-3 weeks later, it was completed. After I paid him I found a couple of things we hadn't discussed (a small bathroom with nice wallpaper that I wanted painted, etc.), and Lee came back the next day and took care of everything I asked him to. The paint job was really excellent. Lee required no oversight, and he was very hard-working, finishing much faster than I expected with just a 2-man crew. Great job, great guy to work with."
When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings.
Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.
Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it’s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You’ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.
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.
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.
Your peel-and-stick wallpaper can fall off for multiple reasons, including high humidity levels, extreme temperature changes, poor installation, and even the wall surface. Textured walls can prevent the adhesive from fully sticking to the wall, making it more likely for the wallpaper to peel off. Low-quality wallpapers with weaker adhesives are also more likely to fall off prematurely.
