"Scott and helper Dexter did a beautiful job. The transformation is remarkable. Scott was courteous and helpful with great attention to detail. His prior experience in the construction industry with new homes and methods and older homes like mine makes all the difference. He had many good suggestions. His forte is carpentry. The woodworking was superb. He also has a good understanding of foundation and structure stresses. I have confidence that his work will last a long time and my home is much more stable because of the work that he has done. I would advise that in electrical matters that an electrician is consulted and/ or do the electrical work. Scott wants very much to please and may attempt work in areas where he is less experienced. He may also suggest not doing certain work because of large electrical undertakings. We worked through the difficulties and he brought in a very reasonable and competant registered electrician to do the work that was necessary. I was most impressed in the quality and cost of his work. He even helped me in other ways by carrying very heavy objects and offering requested advice on other personal projects. Some special considerations: My house was not yet lived in and considering the amount of work, a lot of dust was raised. I might have requested that a filtering device be used with power tools in the house if I had it to do over again. Also, I received Scott's estimate in a timely manner ( one week ahead of another contractor) but actual start time was delayed several times. I understand now that scott's value of quality over quantity and his willingness to accomodate additional work requests on each job can push his schedule later than might be expected. The wait was well worth it. I will definitely ask Scott for help with future home improvements."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

While peel-and-stick wallpapers require no time to cure, the adhesives for other types of papers will take a day or two to dry and up to three weeks to fully cure. The differences are the type of paper, the type of adhesive, and the humidity and temperature in the space. 

Textured or patterned vinyl wallpaper designs are the best option for hiding imperfections. Embossed designs or faux finishes like brick, wood, or linen textures are especially effective at camouflaging dents, cracks, or uneven surfaces. Avoid smooth, shiny finishes, as they can highlight flaws rather than conceal them. 

To determine how many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper you need, measure the square footage of the walls you’re covering and divide that by the square footage that each roll covers. Add 10% to 20% of your total square footage to account for pattern matching or damage while installing.

There can be too much of a good thing when it comes to accent walls, so avoid creating one in every room in your house. Some rooms, like bathrooms and kitchens, don’t naturally lend themselves to accent walls, so it’s best to skip them there. Of course, your home should reflect your own sense of style, so if accent walls in multiple rooms appeal to you, there’s no hard-and-fast rule forbidding it.

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.
