"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."

"We purchased the $125/room deal. Marco was willing to do our 2 rooms. He was very careful to wipe up any drips and did the work very quickly. When he came to do the estimate and verify the space, we asked if he could do the tall foyer and he gave a very good price. Only one small problem when he accidentally started painting a wall that was to be a different color and to be done later, and he made it right. We just installed window trim and it had 2 coats of paint on it already. A small drip happened, Marco wiped it immediately (he really hates it when those things happen) and some of our paint was removed. Neither of us has any idea. He quoted a very fair price for trim. The only thing I would do is ask Marco for a written list of specific things. It got a little crazy and the whole house was in upheaved packing boxes so he could access walls. Had we a written agreement, Marco would not have lost track of what trim, what ceilings etc. He did not price gouge at any time, just that things got a bit rushed. He fixed on day 2 what didn't get covered on day 1. The paint colors were hard to see and the lighting in the house impossible to help him. If we saw something was missing or not covered completely, he just said thanks or let us know he hadn't gotten there yet."

"It went really well they actually sanded where needed and caulked and primed all of the places needed and then spraye the exterior paint on that I provided Behr Marquis semi gloss and my home has the best paint job on it that it has ever had because of this very group. Ive never seen anything like this in the painting profession before. He was methodical in spraying it on there also. Even my wife made a comment to me about this about the level of quality that he and they had. Thank you for sending Suliban and the team for this project. Ill call on you for more i know."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.

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.
