"This was an extremely large painting project that began in late March and finished up in Mid-June--nine-plus weeks in length. To go along with such a large project--and large expense--were a bit of nerves too. The church had been completely painted approx. 5 years ago by another contractor and the coating was already failing in a big way. Cyr Painting was highly recommended by one of the church Trustees who had Cyr Painting paint their own home one year earlier and were thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and quality. Cyr's formula to address the deteriorating paint was to completely strip off all old paint and build up a new foundation. A labor-intensive project. To reduce costs, Cyr used a spray-on paint stripper where they could to speed up paint removal. In the end, nearly all of the paint was removed, right down to bare wood. The bare clapboards were then sanded smooth with palm-sanders and the nails reset. A thinned coat of oil-based primer was applied. Next they filled any dents with an exterior wood putty and gave everything a quick sanding again. Wow, it was smooth! Then a full oil-based primer coat went on followed by two coats of a latex stain. A total of four coats of paint went on the church. At some point between coats of paint, they caulked around windows and clapboard ends. One window had some rotten wood along the window sill and vertical trim piece which they replaced and it blended right in. One of Cyr Painting's key assets is their employees. Extremely professional, polite, dedicated with a hint of being characters is a pretty good description. The two foremen or main "characters" are Ernie and Jeff. Two good loud-and-proud guys as well as the other painters on the team. And the owner, John Cyr, was super to work with. Extremely sincere and dedicated to doing the best job. Very mindful of the budget and even took steps towards the end of the project to stay close to the original estimate. With limited resources, the church greatly appreciated John Cyr's diligence in holding to the budget. As he said, his name and his company's name and reputation are on full display. All in all, we're very happy with the painting of our old and traditional New England church. Cyr Painting took the time and effort to ensure the church paint won't fail like the prior paint job. In fact, the New England paint representatives stopped by the church and said they would guarantee the paint due to all the preparations Cyr Painting had done. Do it right the first time and it will last. Highly, highly recommend Cyr Painting. One small reason why?... they even washed the windows, inside and outside before leaving. Not even the church has done that in a while. Jobsite was always clean and tidy too. Fantastic job. The church stands once again a proud and humble servant to the community and our Lord."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

You can paint over wallpaper, but it’s not usually recommended, especially if the wallpaper underneath is textured or dirty. If you do decide to paint your wallpaper, make sure it’s in good condition and clean it very well. Make sure all corners and edges of wallpaper are glued down before you paint, as well.

DIY removal is possible but requires patience. Professionals ensure smooth wall prep and avoid wall damage.

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.
