"I recently hired High Tide Painting to update the exterior/interiors of my home before we moved and we couldn't be happier with the results! Derek was extremely professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail. He were able to recommend the perfect paint color to complement my home's architecture and the final product exceeded my expectations. High Tide completed the job in a timely manner and left the job site clean and tidy. I highly recommend Derek for anyone looking for a high-quality paint job! Thanks again!"

"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."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

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.

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.
