"Nate and his son are fantastic. We had a large project that was a mix of drywalling and plastering, and the existing plaster they were blending with was especially tricky in the areas around the doors and windows. To complicate matters, our timeline was a little tight. Nate found a way to work us in immediately, and the job they did was phenomenal. It is impossible to tell which areas are original, which are drywall, and which are plaster—there are no seams, no high/low spots, and the cove where the wall and ceiling meet is beautiful. Both Nate and his son are personable and fun to work with, which is especially nice for a stressed-out homeowner. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to my friends."

"OK in general. The work was delayed a lot by the weather. The rotten top two 2x4 beams (10 feet long) were removed and replaced and primer placed on the bare wood during the first visit. That part of the job was excellent. When it came time to paint the new wood, the worked thought he was to do the carpentry work first. He noted it was done and offered to paint the entire trellis. He used a roller then a brush, but it was blue on blue, and I couldn't tell if anything was not painted. However it was clear he did not cover the white primer on the new wood well at all. There were multiple white areas showing. This could not be seen at eye level, but was glaringly obvious as you went up the stairs to our front porch, and was easily seen from the porch. I reported this to the manager, and she sent out a professional to finish the job correctly."

"Called Colmar to have leak repair on wall in living room. This led to finding leak in chimney/roof. When repair was being done, we were very much impressed with people on the job and the excellent work. This led to our extension of contract to have much needed work to be done on our home. All work has been professionally done and we are extremely satisfied with the completion of each project.

Price of the complete project was very reasonable and each project called for a variety of expertise which was provided all along the way. I would highly recommend Colmar for any project that is needed."

Unfortunately, painting does not seem to be the strength of this company.  They provide general handyman service.  I must take responsibility for not inspecting the job very well prior to their departure.  Perhaps they would have corrected the deficiencies if I had pointed them out at the time.  The paint job was not particularly good upon closer inspection.  Poor coverage in many spots and they failed to tape or cut edges very well.  Both individuals were polite and courteous and were likely not aware that the job was substandard as the lighting was not excellent.  I did offer to bring in additional lighting but they declined.  I do not wish to damage their reputation in any way, but I would suggest that they be more careful in the future when painting a bathroom. I would also suggest that unlike me, that people closely inspect the completed work and give them the opportunity to remedy any issues.  I did not call them back to come re-paint because of the distance and cost for a business trying to establish itself.  I realize they made very little money on this job and I didn't wish to cause them additional cost.  (This was an Angie's List Big Deal)  That was MY choice.  I suspect they would have come back if requested.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

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.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.
