"Marvin did a great job painting our entire interior (walls and ceilings for 3BR ranch, excluding the laundry room and closets) at a reasonable price. The quality of his work was very good -- even though our house was brand new, the builder's paint job was mediocre. Marvin sanded and patched areas, including the drywalled garage, and dealt with the flat paint that was originally used. It sucked up the new paint like crazy, but now there is such a nice light sheen on smooth walls everywhere. He was professional at all times, worked quietly (a plus since we work from home) and cleaned up after every visit. Our job required a little more than a week's worth of work, so as an individual contractor on a few occasions Marvin had to reschedule or change his start time. If you have the flexibility, though, it was well worth any schedule adjustments."

"First of all, the men are very friendly and put up with my two dogs, which is gold star from me to begin with.  More importantly, they showed up the exact time they said they would and worked to completion on the project.  Our dining room had wall paper, which they removed, touched up the plaster in the dining room, primed the walls, and painted them beautifully.  The living room is 16ft. x 23ft, with 17ft. ceilings, they painted the room and it looks amazing.  The the house was built in 1929 and they repaired the plaster in the living room prior to its painting.  Lastly, they painted the ceiling of our foyer and hallway , up the stairs and onto the 2nd floor and the crown molding.  it all looks great, and I can't say enough as far as recommending them, they are just great.  We will definitely use them again...and again...and again!

"Fantastic! They spent 4 hours total - 1 hour removing the paper and 3 hours prepping the walls so they could be painted. The walls were completely smooth and ready to be painted when they were finished. They were prompt, clean, courteous and professional."

"The finished job shows streaks and places were missed all together. There were cracks on seems which was the main reason I wanted it done so the sanding wasn't done properly. By May of 2011, the window part of the window sills were cracked and chipping. The front door showed cracks and streaks and was later repainted by another painter. Mr. Yohe was very unprofessional. He came out the first week of October and said he would mail his proposal. He didn't mail it. I called twice and gave excuses as to why he didn't mail the proposal and he finally responded when I itemized the work and sent him an email. All he would have to do was copy the proposal. Instead he just quoted a price of $525 for the whole project. He didn't itemize everything in the proposal. After going back and forth about the quoted price he stuck to the price of $525 instead of itemizing each object to be painted. I was particularly angry because during a rainy week he called to come out to my house. Instead of waiting until the weather cleared, he made excuses about only having one day to be able to do the work. He simply blows off small jobs. He gives estimates and then when he discovers its a small job he doesn't like to do it. My job cost 625 dollars and I could've easily gotten the job for around 300. He was supposed to paint my kitchen as well but didn't give me an estimate and said he wouldn't be able to get to it until right before Christmas."

"Shane is very professional and did a wonderful job.  The wallpaper border in the bedroom was put on over rough plaster so it was impossible to remove without damaging the plaster.  Shane removed all that was possible, then put a finish over the remainder to blend in with the existing plaster, then painted the walls.  The result looks great..  I am planning on having Shane back in the fall for additional work.

"Zach did an excellent job regarding gutter cleaning. In addition to the gutter work, he spotted a problem with the trim around my window that I never noticed before. Even though he tried to correct the problem during the visit, it turned out to be more involved and will require additional work to fix. Zach was very patient and answered all my questions concerning this problem. I would definitely hire Zach to do any repairs around my home."

"When Mr. Springer came for the estimate, he informed us that the $999 promotional price wasn't realistic; for our frame house the price was over $3000. After getting some other estimates, we agreed to hire him. He and his helper were on time, respectful, and cleaned up after themselves. They did the entire house in one week. I think the house looks much better; my husband thinks they could have done a better job scraping the old paint. All in all, I am satisfied; however, I don't think this was a 'deal' at all. We could have had the work done by someone more local to us for a better price, although it probably would take longer."

"It was an Angie's List Big Deal that we purchased. It turned out well. They were very friendly and very professional. They cleaned up very nicely. The wallpaper had been there for over 40 years and he told me they might have to come back because of the time it would take. He got all the wallpaper off and told me how to get the glue off so I didn't have to call them back. He told me what to buy to get the paper off and then they did everything else to dilate the stuff. They painted it on the walls, peeled off the wallpaper and scraped off anything additional. He showed me the areas that I would need to patch. He said he would come back if I wanted him to patch, sand and get the rest of the glue off. The pricing was great. He was late but he stayed a little bit extra."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

As long as the surface you’re putting the tile on is properly prepped, peel-and-stick backsplashes should stay on and last anywhere from 3 to 5 years. The best way to ensure the tile stays on is to sand down and clean the wall before applying your design.
