"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."

"I am still in awe and cannot believe how beautiful my home came out, Justin was an extremely profesional individual and it literally was one of the easiest experiences of my life. The man came in and came out before I knew it. I wish I had more of my home to paint because I would hire him in a heartbeat( I’m sure my children will be painting the walls soon with some crayons). My wife was very happy with the results. Thank you Justin for making what can be a very excruciating time a very easy and hassle free process."

"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.

"Excellent! Roland was extremely responsive and came out to provide a quote promptly. His quote was in line with our expectations of where it should be. He removed and replaced wooden cedar shingles on the exterior of our home - and he made it appear as if there was no damage in the first place. Great attention to detail and he explained the work he was doing which helped us forecast work that may need to be done in the future. We would hire him again!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

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.

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.

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.
