"JTP did a great job!! They were polite, friendly, worked efficiently and neatly. They brought all of the supplies needed and cleaned up after first day so they were ready to start when they got there the next day. Put the room back together when job was finished. Looked so great! Job was completed as promised and price was fair. I would recommend them to friends and use them again if needed another area painted."

"The tech showed up and got all the relevant information from me and began working on the door. He was joined shortly after by another tech and after they removed the door, they updated me on what they found and how they were going to proceed with the repairs. It was a little cold that day and they made sure, without any prompting on my part, to seal the entrance with a tarp to retain heat inside the house. The install was completed in the estimated time and to my satisfaction."

"The painter was very professional. He taped off the trim, removed (and replaced) the wall plates, and moved and put back all the furniture - that was a big help to me.  I had bought the paint and tape, but I am sure that the company could have helped with that as well. 2 years later, the paint still looks great.

"Seamless, worked around our schedule including a delay. No complaints, no extra charges; wonderful paint job. I was particularly pleased with the prep, power wash, scrape and sand. Replaced wood on decorative columns matches perfectly."

"Highly recommend working with Damian! Had a great experience and he and his team did a fantastic job installing wallpaper for my nursery. We gave him just enough paper and he made it work beautifully and seamlessly (with very little waste to make it a work which we super appreciate!)."

They showed up around 9am to paint doors and baseboards on the second floor only.  By 4pm the two painters had the doors and frames painted (two coats) and said they had not even started the baseboards and nor would the baseboards be completed.  I had stated when scheduling this service that the baseboards were the number 1 priority then the doors next.  No walls were painted and I had already moved ALL the furniture, rugs, etc into the center of the bedrooms so they could get right to work. They got the painting done on the baseboards in the hallway and one of the four bedrooms.  Neither of the bathrooms were done.

On the day of the service, I was told that they usually do the doors first then baseboards second.  I said that was fine as long as everything was done today.  I want to make it clear that they were only working upstairs.  No work was done downstairs.  I'm not a painter but painting the doors upstairs should not take from 9am to 4pm.  Granted it was 12 doors total but seriously that should not take all day.  Also, the workers had their music playing and one guy was singing along quite loudly at times.  I was working from home and was distracted. 

To be fair the work they did get done looked good.  There were a few spots on the doors with drip marks but at that point I was just glad to have something done.  And a few other issues with the quality of the work but after I spoke with the owner, he brought the painters back and they fixed those issues the same night.  

I used an angies list deal and feel like they short changed me for that reason.  I was told that they usually use different equipment for painting doors but they didn't have it that day so they would have to use paint brushes.  The owner of the company had come to my house the week before the service took place to see what the project looked like so he was aware that doors were going to be painted and the condition of doors.  That same guy is the one who said they didn't have the right equipment.  If they knew that they would not be able to complete the doors and baseboards within that time frame, they should have said so.  I feel like if I had scheduled the service without the angies list deal (and paid full price), I would have gotten higher quality and more professional service.  It felt like they came out did half the work then expected me to pay full price for them to complete the remainder of the work.  If they can't afford to offer good service at that rate, they should not advertise their services for that price.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.
