"Fresh Coat did a amazing job with paining my father house. Laura at Fresh Coat and very professional, responsive and she worked with me when I had to push back the date twice. Overall experience was exceptional and I would hire them in the future."
"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. "
"Overall the painting looked as though a novice did it. There was paint on the floorboards and door trimming. What's worst, is there was paint on my furniture, which the painter advised I was okay with leaving in the room. Not satisfied. "
"The homeowners were quite happy with the results of their repainted roof. I look forward to using Charleston Clean and Green for future painting projects."
"We are doing a addition to our house. We are completely satisfied with the service. Mike is very responsive and the quality of the work is top notch. We would definitely recommend Mike and Commonwealth to anyone considering work on their house."
"I Previously wrote a review about Affordable Handyman and painting services that was unacceptable. I've recently been in touch with them and found out that things weren't as they seemed. I am man enough to admit that I was wrong and apologize for the earlier review. The quote I was given was very reasonable and actually the best I had received and can't wait to see how the work goes!"
"Gonzalo and his crew were professional and timely. They renovated my kitchen and bathroom. The work was well-done and all details were addressed. They did a wide range of work that included tiling, flooring, carpentry, and painting. We were pleased with his work and I highly recommend him. I am in the process of using him for other projects."
"Coastal met and exceeded all of my expectations. Justin and his crew were professional, punctual, courteous, and totally respected my property. I highly recommend Coastal Carolina Finishes. They painted the exterior of my 3100 ft.² home and stained my porch and it looks fantastic. Justin, the owner and his crew paid attention to detail and cleaned up after themselves. I definitely would use them again for any painting projects."
"I called Hamilton Home Improvement and got an affordable estimate and friendly phone service. They got to my house quicker then other places normally do and they were very professional and kind. I would highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for any other home improvement needs I have."
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.
Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.
Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.
To layer wallpaper over wallpaper, inspect your existing wallpaper for problem areas. Damaged wallpaper should not be covered. If it’s okay to proceed, prep by turning off the electricity and removing any outlet and switch covers. Dust your walls and lightly rinse them to prevent the existing paper from peeling. Apply primer, then apply your new wallpaper.
Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it’s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You’ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.
