"I got several estimates, and the professionalism and price varied wildly! One contractor walked around looking at the place, and left....no measuring, no discussion about paint whatsoever, so I wondered what paint would be used, how long it might take, etc. The second contractor walked around with a measuring device and told me that he would get the paint...no mention of anything else. The next contractor sent a very detailed estimate that was over $5,000 for the 1,350 sq. ft. unit. There were eight rooms to paint, and this contractor charged extra for every color change over three, and around $75 for each change, which helped bring it up to that cost. When the estimates came in, one was so under-detailed, that it mostly said, 'Paint condo; 8 rooms'. Again, no mention of the paint, or it's quality, etc. That brings us to Fresh Coat. The estimator came out on time and ready to get to work. She measured all the rooms, and offered a service from Sherwin-Williams to help choose colors, but I had already chosen my colors and didn't need that. We went over all the color choices that I had made, and she recorded each room with the chosen color. She went over the paint choices and I chose the one that best suited my needs. Next, we chose a tentative date. When I got the estimate it was fair and accurate, and I chose Fresh Coat to do the work for me. Their schedule improved, and I met the paint crew two days earlier that originally scheduled, and that was good for me. The painters were on-time and dug right in removing lots of nails, drapery hardware and anything on the walls. They patched a few holes and some tears in the paper of the dry wall. The kitchen was a very dark red color. The previous painters had hit the ceiling with the dark color several times, and before the Fresh Coat painters started with the new very light color, they went around the entire room and painted the edges white to match the ceiling. After two heavy coats of the new color on the walls, we could still see a glimpse of that really dark color, so they did a third coat, and that did the trick. They finished the whole place in less than four days and did an outstanding job! I am very happy with the quality of the work, and the price, and would recommend them even to the pickiest people I know, and they would not be disappointed."

"Reggie did a great job. All the popcorn ceiling removal and repairs to drywall look nice and smooth, and all the paint (ceilings, wall, trim, and doors) looks great. He finished the job in the estimated time frame, and I would gladly hire him again in the future."

" He and his crew did such an amazing job, I've been recommending him to everyone which is not typical for me.  They prepped everything with power washing, sanding, and removing chipped paint.  They cleaned up very well and then also cleaned our windows at no additional charge because he said it made the house look better.  This type of workmanship is rarely seen in this day and age.  I hope everyone starts using him!"

"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.
