"Excellent company! Before the project started, I received 2 quotes. Both quotes were equal. I was impressed with both companies, but I selected Jose based on my gut feeling. I couldn't be happier! The job lasted 1.5 days. The crew of 4 showed up on time both days. Promptness to me is very important, as well as safety. All face plates were removed, furniture was covered and protected. I have 15 ft. ceilings, so while 1 guy was cutting in around the crown molding, another guy was holding the ladder. Safety first! I was very impressed with the focus they placed on safety. They were here 1.5 days and only took 1 break, which was lunch on the first day! This crew was very friendly and worked the entire time. They were very meticulous and really took pride in their work. All of my furniture was put back in place and everything was cleaned up. Excellent work! I am very satisfied with the results. I highly recommend Professionals Painting!"
"Certapro did a fantastic job and I have recommended to friends- the process of getting a quote was easy and quick and the price was very much what I expected - very reasonable. The team who worked on my house was so friendly and thorough- they did a great job!"
"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. "
"They were efficient, fast, and they did what they supposed to do. I was pleased with his work. He didn't argue and he did a good job. I would use the service again."
"It was great. I would recommend them to anyone. The owner was easy to communicate with, he was dependable, did a really good painting, hard workers, and very nice worker."
If you prefer peel-and-stick to traditional wallpaper, you can skip the priming process. Many manufacturers don't require an additional primer if you’re installing peel-and-stick wallpaper to painted walls. However, if you’re applying peel-and-stick wallpaper to unfinished drywall, you’ll need to apply a primer first.
Textured or patterned vinyl wallpaper designs are the best option for hiding imperfections. Embossed designs or faux finishes like brick, wood, or linen textures are especially effective at camouflaging dents, cracks, or uneven surfaces. Avoid smooth, shiny finishes, as they can highlight flaws rather than conceal them.
No. If you overlap seams, the wallpaper will not come out flat. In addition to possibly throwing off your pattern match between rolls, overlapping seems necessary. If wallpaper is properly acclimated, and temperature and moisture conditions are optimal during installation, there is no reason to fear shrinkage as it dries.
One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.
When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings.
Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.
