"Embassy was an answer to prayer! After waiting 10 months for another person to do our wallpapering and finally were going to put us off another 3 more months, we were at a loss. That's when I called Embassy and it was like a dream! David called me back the same day, came the following day for an estimate, and STARTED the next day!! Not only do I have a beautiful home now, he and his son, David, were the nicest people. They were professional clean and impeccable work!! I would recommend them to anyone!! Thank you David!!"

"I had to have my house painted while I was not personally present. He was prompt in going to the house and giving me a fair price with a discount. He worked with my schedule and limitation and delivered an excellent job on time. I was happy with overall results."

"VERY great job done by Gus. He was able to come out and install our wallpaper within a few days of me calling him. He was on time, very professional, and did an AMAZING job on our custom wallpaper. I will definitely be hiring him for future jobs and we are thrilled with his work."

"We could not have been happier personally and professionally to have found Ed Beauregard through Angie's List. Ed began working on our 14'x27 living room the day he promised. He removed the grasscloth we had put up decades ago as well as take down the curtains on our six windows, Next he spackled and filled cracks and holes revealed by the removed wallpaper. He painted the ceiling, walls and woodwork. At the end of each day, he thoroughly cleaned the area. He finished the job when promised. The room looks wonderful. Ed even helped rehang our paintings. All in all we would give him an A+ for the job and plan to use him for any other painting projects in the future. We should also add that re really liked Ed as a person as well as Scottie who helped Ed for a few hours on non-painting tasks ."

"Will is a good guy, who means well, and he tries hard to please, but he is a bit careless, and does not have a lot of experience with other than routine tasks.  And he refused to accept responsibility for a major mistake.
I hired Will to paint the ceiling in my living room, hall, and 3 bedrooms.  There was a good deal of water damage in some of the rooms, and a few dents in the ceilling.  He did not quite capture the technique to match the texture of the ceiling, but with some prodding and my suggestions, he kept redoing it until he got it right, generally
Apparently he never quite got the technique, because we went thru the same drill in each of the rooms.  Most came out ok after a few corrections, which he performed only when prodded. 
There was a bit of an issue of neatness.  He managed to get a light spatter of paint on a few pieces of furniture that were uncovered, and on the floor (I did manage to get it off relatively easily, but it should have been better protected).  He threw a used drop cloth over my bed when painting the ceiing, and I found the bed covered with a "dandruff" of dried paint chips.  He had painted the whole living room and hall before i noticed that he had got paint on all the walls.  He said "Oh, I thought you were going to paint the walls"... Well, I did paint them, but I had not been planning on it.
When he went to do the bedrooms, I told him that I was not planning on painting them, so could he please tape the walls before painting. Unfortunately, one of the rooms was wallpapered, so it really did need masking.  It took nearly 2 weeks to finish that room (he was sick, then I was away...) and when he got done, and pulled the tape off, the top of the wallpaper came off with it.  Not just in one spot, but all the way around the room, a colossal mess.  When I asked his what he was going to do to do to fix it, his response was "Me, fix it??? it was your idea to use tape!!"  Of course, he is no longer working on this job...  As he was packing his stuff out, he had the nerve to claim that I fired him just because I did not want to pay him.
Actually, after repeated efforts, the work that Will did came out fine (except for things like destroying my wallpaper).  Some rather severe water damage and dents were successfully covered up.  I really have become quite fond of Will, and hope he finds his niche.  But he does need to use more care, and to take responsibility for his mistakes.

"I was searching for a painting company that I could establish a long term relationship with. I found that company with Keen Eye Painting. The owner, Amed, is professional and easy to deal with. His workers, Carlos and Giovanni, are not only professional painters, they are hard working employees who take pride in their work. I not only found a long term relationship with Keen Eye Painting and Amed. I acquired two new friends, Carlos and Giovanni."

I chose to work in the home remodeling industry because it allows me to blend creativity with craftsmanship to transform spaces into something truly special. Whether it’s bringing a fresh, vibrant look to a room through expert interior painting, constructing sturdy and beautiful frames, updating bathrooms to become relaxing retreats, or installing floors that combine style and function, I love the sense of accomplishment that comes with each project. The ability to help homeowners improve their spaces and create an environment that reflects their lifestyle is incredibly rewarding, and I enjoy every step of the process, from design to completion.

"He did an excellent job. Closing the window opening required plastering & painting an interior wall. After he finished it is impossible to see any sign that a window was once there. He removed and replaced all the rotted materials and there again the wall looks as good as new. He did everything we asked him to do and couldn't have been nicer to deal with."

"Mr. Cardilli subcontracts his work out and oversaw the construction. He helped us figure out what to present to the insurance company so that the majority of the work done was eventually covered by our home owner's policy. He was in constant contact throughout the project. He helped us develop a plan that allowed us to remain in the house during construction except for the floor refinishing. This was an important factor for us. 
He remained in constant contact with us about the process, what we needed to do and by when. He checked in on the job daily either by phone or site.  The construction crew he hired was excellent. They were very thorough in their daily clean up of the house including little conveniences like plugging in alarm clocks and setting them to setting up our beds in other rooms during construction.  The painting crew was good, but work needed to be checked for thorough paint coverage. We found paint on bed spreads, curtains, and floor.  They did not clean up as well as the carpenters. The flooring crew completed their job within the given time frame and the work was excellent. All work was completed within the expected time line. 
This was the first time we have ever hired a contractor to do work for us. I will add a couple of things we learned in the process. If you want / need an itemized list of all work and materials used, put that expectation in the contract. Additionally request that any work beyond the agreed upon work is approved (cost) prior to starting the needed work. When the additional work is done, check the work and time required for labor to be sure it is accurate.
Overall this experience was a good one. The subcontractors were polite and pleasant to our family. Mr. Cardilli was attentive and responsive to all our emails and calls.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

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.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.
