"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.

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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. 

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

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.

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.
