"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."

"This whole entire team were exceptionally professional and did such amazing work. The quality of the work is phenomenal and it was such a wonderful and fair price. I will definitely hire them again for more projects. They remodeled my entire bathroom after hurricane Helene. My walls, ceiling and tub all had to be removed due to water damage. Every team that came into my home took great care of my property. Thank you for my beautiful bathroom."

"It was a perfect job. They covered all the furniture and not a drop of paint was left on the floor. I'll be using them for an exterior painting job once Springs comes. I've referred them to others as well."

"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."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

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.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.
