"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

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.

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.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.
