"Hired for 2 jobs. They are very nice, but they do not know what they are doing and they do not complete the work that they contract. Didn't nail down Advantech subfloor to joist correctly (literally missed the joist in several places), and it makes creaking and popping noises. Broke our floor joist by trying to jack up entire house with bottle jack instead of using the sister boards we gave them to level the floor. Contracted for dry wall skim coat on two rooms ceiling job. Only skim coated one room and partially patched (there were screw heads not covered and corners not done) and they did not skim coat the other room. The skim coat was uneven and left multiple large lumps and divits. I sent pictures of problems. They said pay now and call them back after it was painted. Paint did not hide corner cracks, unsealed drywall tape, unsanded lumps, etc. Had to hire another company to do the job correctly. So we paid double for the job. "

Hello, my name is Jimmy Bidwell owner of Bidwell Painting. I’ve been painting professionally for 24 years. As of right now I currently have 4 employees, plus myself. I’ve tried before to use some sub-contractors and it didn’t work out too well so I do not sub out any of my jobs. It’s strictly me and my crew your dealing with. My licence is on file for Hamilton County lic#036923. I always give free estimates just as long as it’s in a 25mile range. I do write contracts/proposals for every job I do, and it explains everything we will be performing on job. It also details dollar amounts for the overall job and material. No surprise charges on any contracts unless approved by customer. We are investor/and reality friendly and no job is too big or too small. We have hundreds of references and guaranteed all our work. Additional service areas: portions of Dade, Jackson, Polk, Walker & Whitfield Counties

"The crew was polite and offered a fair price. The work resulted a less than desirable finish, however the price made that acceptable. The unfinished job, and ghosting made the whole experience unacceptable. The clean up was also not up to par, as our trash can, and plants all had a nice mist of white spray paint."

Mario's Painting has been a successful business for 20 years, based on integrity, quality, and reliability! Most of my business has been built on repeat customers. Services provided are painting [interior and exterior] with attention to prep work and detail ,wood staining,wall papering, carpentry [replacing damaged wood, installing trim, molding, doors, closet shelving, and more,,,] , power washing, window glazing and glass replacement, and more... please inquire. I provide free estimates ,as well as assistance with color coordination, and other project related questions! I am very Neat and have good communication skills. And have a willingness to provide for, what your special concerns may be! I look forward to meeting you, Mario

"Working with Mario has been a pleasure. After recently moving into our new home, we engaged Mario to paint bedrooms, bathrooms, a laundry room, closets, front door to the house and so on. The outcome has been terrific. We are so much happier with the way our home looks now, so much more inviting. From the start, Mario has been dependable, skillful, thoughtful, thorough, neat, efficient, reliable, conscientious, kind, helpful and friendly, just to name a few of his standout qualities. He is a talented artist who takes pride in his work. During our initial meeting, he listened to our needs, made solid and cost-effective suggestions, and generally showed himself to be an experienced painter. He was prompt in providing us a written, detailed proposal. As work progressed, our confidence in Mario only grew. Not only were his overall painting skills wonderful, his attention to details also made big differences. Things like painting ceiling heating/cooling vents and ceiling fan blades (went from brown to white) made our rooms so much nicer and saved us money because we originally had planned to buy new ones. He always respectfully presented such ideas for our consideration and approval before proceeding, which was much appreciated. In one room where we only wanted to have one wall painted, Mario was able to get color-matched paint to make that happen. Mario made us feel confident in our paint color selections and even supported us when one selection turned out to be, well, awful. Remember, we selected the color. He listened to our concerns and opinions, made suggestions and helped us envision a different color approach. Now that room looks great. We requested other changes along the way, like asking Mario to paint rooms that were not in our original plans. He always responded to these changes in a positive, easy-going manner. He made the whole project easy for us. Just a great experience. We are so glad to have found Mario. We feel we have made a good friend in him. Our first round of paint projects is now complete. Before too long, we will be ready for the next round and will be contacting Mario, no question. We highly recommend him for your painting needs. Mario is a gem!"

“At The Ready Family we create a professional, enjoyable service experience while protecting and beautifying the assets of our commercial and residential clients using quality coatings applications so our customers may have a better return on investment and quality of life.”

"Terrible company that does not stand behind their work. The owner Ken is nothing short of a bald faced liar. I had this company do 2 different commercial jobs and they screwed them both up. One they fixed after we chased them for months and the other they refused to fix even after it became apparent that their crew hadn't cleaned or prepped the walls properly which caused the paint to start flaking off within a month or so of the completion date. Ken was full of hot air and excuses and even tried to blame Sherwin Williams paint for their subpar work. They have been paid in full and yet they still refuse to fix their mistake. Classic example of a company that doesn't desire to be in business."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You can paint over wallpaper, but it’s not usually recommended, especially if the wallpaper underneath is textured or dirty. If you do decide to paint your wallpaper, make sure it’s in good condition and clean it very well. Make sure all corners and edges of wallpaper are glued down before you paint, as well.

Mixing fabric softener into water is a low-cost way to remove wallpaper that has been passed among DIYers for years, but it has limited success. It works on some wallpaper, but not likely on vintage styles. Also, be careful, as it could interfere with the new wallpaper’s grip power.

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.

How long peel-and-stick wallpaper lasts depends on a few factors, including the conditions in the room, the quality of the wallpaper, and the wallpaper's application. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but you may decide to remove it sooner. Under ideal conditions, it can also last for much longer.

Factors that may shorten the lifespan of peel-and-stick wallpaper include high humidity in a room (such as a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper.
