"I called Blue Crew Painters to get an estimate. The estimated it for 1735 for painting the house which includes the cost of the paint and labour. I have asked them to paint my condo with Sherwin-Williams paint. To my surprise, they started painting my condo with PPG Paint without informing me about the change. the quality of work is good. Mr Aker is a skillful man. I really like his skill. I would recommend him for his craftsmanship.
But, I have problems with a month after painting, i see many dark translucent spots on my walls. I suspect this may be due to to the quality of the paint. I have tried to contact Aker several times. I get a response but i do not have a solution yet. I wish, for the price they have quoted for a 800Sq Ft condo, i get a better quality paint.

"I contacted four painting contractors from Angie's List and sent them photos of the site as requested. Luis responded quickest and had the best estimate. After I agreed, he came to inspect the deck and told me how the work would proceed. Four days later his team arrived and power washed it to take off flaking stain and general grime. We had a few days of rain afterwards, but when it dried, they returned and put two coats on the same day. They carefully moved furniture and other things from the patio below the deck and covered it with plastic to catch any drips, and they cleaned up after they left. The deck looks great and I'll hire this contractor again for some interior work in a few months."

"Bo is very professional, very polite, and just an all-around great guy. He did a great job pressure washing my aluminum sided house, fixed a sagging gutter, removed some mildew from my deck, and was wonderful to work with. Will absolutely hire again!"

"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

"Anderson painting did an amazing job. He was punctual and efficient and even finished the job early. He was great with communicating with us and honoring his quote. We needed our drywall repaired and our ceiling painted following a horrendous leak. He was conscious of our budget and helped to blend the paints on the ceiling opposed to charging us to paint the entire downstairs ceiling. He was very honest and trustworthy. Much of the work was done when we were not home so we left a key with Mikel. Our house was treated with respect in our absence, and he cleaned up after himself. I will use him for future projects."

"My appointment was scheduled at 9am and two gentlemen, in a truck with a different company name, arrived at about 9:10am. I asked them if they were with Pro Green and they told me that they subcontract with them. The small bathroom that I wanted to have painted had one and a half walls with wallpaper and they gave me a quote of $800 to have the wallpaper removed and the walls ready to paint. I told them that I was going to hold off and got a refund for the $99. I got a quote of $400 from another gentlemen to have the wallpaper removed, walls prepped, the bathroom painted, electrical work done, and install the towel racks."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

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. 

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.

Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.
