"Timothy was extremely professional and a very positive person to have in our home. He immediately impressed me as the only painter that measured all the walls and spaces before giving me a detailed estimate with a breakdown of the work in each separate area. We gladly paid the $1650 deposit in mid-April to schedule his time required for the job, and waited for our turn in his busy schedule in mid-June. His Office Manger was very professional and kept us to date, all estimates were emailed and all documentation was very detailed. When the job directly before us finished faster than expected, we were glad to have him begin the work about a week early. He began removing the wallpaper in the Powder Room and then moved through the Entryway area in a very efficient manner. He worked multiple sections at a time, as one area dried, he was working on another wall. Tim expertly covered our hardwood floors and there was not one single drop off paint found on them.

Tim is a very positive person, who is extremely polite and I was very comfortable having him in my home, both alone with me and at times by himself. The finished product is truly amazing, as our neighbors came to see how it looked (our very wallpapered home was well known by the women in our neighborhood) They were shocked to see our entryway looked as if it had never been wallpapered at all.

The late date of this review is completely by my oversight; I crossed it off my project list by mistake. We look forward to working with Timothy's Painting for future projects.

"it went wonderfully.well. The painters Nate and his associates were absolutely wonderful. Most of the work was done by Tom and his assistant and they were professional and thorough. All the wallpaper was scraped off and sanded. There were some areas where an unknown glue was used and it took additional time for proper removal, but it was perfect..the baseboards were removed and this was quite difficult since they were screwed into metal studs in the wall. All defects were repaired, the painting and cutting in was perfect. The Doors and jams were painted and one bathroom door was completely stripped and refinished because of damage from steam. It turned out perfectly. They arrived on time, worked hard and were extremely pleasant. The rooms looked fantastic when they were finished. I think their price was very reasonable and the workmanship was excellent. I would not hesitate for one minute to recommend them to anyone. Fabulous job!

"Great work. Moved most of the heavy items in the basement, epoxy finish looks amazing. Third floor room went from blue, orange, purple and lime green child's room to a neutral any age bedroom. They tinted the primer for best coverage of old color, two coats of paint. Instead of just touching up the baseboards as we agreed, they repainted them completely so the finish would look better. This is the second job they've done for us. Wonderful company!

"D&D painters Mark and John did a terrific job. It looks great. They cleaned up thoroughly and I'll definitely hire them again for more painting, starting with the kitchen in a few weeks. Recommend unequivocally..."

"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."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

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.

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.
