"We called Chris for an estimate to paint our kitchen which is very open to the rest of our living area.  He was prompt, courteous and professional and slipped us into the schedule in a very timely manner.The color we had chosen was very dark compared to the the next room and the corners on the plaster are rounded, a tricky task to get straight lines, which was extremely important to us.  They painted the ceiling the light color to match the family room then painted all the walls the darker color.  There are numerous cabinets and a very large window and a door in the kitchen that are painted a cream color and the painter, Tony, did an excellent job of getting around all of this with clean lines.  He was very tidy and polite, which is a plus when someone is in your home for a couple of days.All of the lines and seams are very straight and sharp and we love the way our kitchen looks.  We are going to have them come back and do some more painting soon.There was one small area near the ceiling that needed a small touch up, it was a difficult place to see in most light is probably why it went unnoticed until later in the day.  Tony was busy that day so another fellow came and he was as friendly and polite as Chris and his other people.I would highly recommend this company for any painting needs and I understand they do other repairs and refurbishing also."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

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.

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

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.
