"We had this hideous wallpaper in our home. After a year of looking at the bare walls, and never having anyone actually follow through with the price quote, for the 2 the actually showed up to get us this far, I had low expectations. Tony and his crew restored my confidence that someone actually wants to work! Very professional, responsive, and I still cannot believe the final result! Within days we were able to paint the bedroom and bath. I have my home back again!! Highly recommend White Lion. The crew were zero maintenance, I almost forgot they were here working, and their quality of work...well...no words. Excellent! Thank you guys. So good, that we requested another quote for additional work in the house. We are a very happy couple with a simply beautiful room to relax in. Thank you White Lion. "
"I canâ t recommend Erin from Modern Paperscapes enough. She has already wallpapered three rooms in my house and I have two more projects that I will only entrust to her. She is so nice, so professional, affordable, and experienced. She gives me tips on which wallpaper to buy and is incredibly informed about the different materials. I get complimented often on the wallpaper in my house that wouldnâ t be as beautiful if not for her. I wonâ t trust anyone else!"
"Fantastic experience! Brad Hale was a great overall manager who was very responsive to all of my communications and honest in his opinion on what works well for selling a home regarding wall treatments. He gave me an initial quote that included prime and paint for all the walls as well as patching and touch up of trim. It was a daunting task, in my opinion, since I had a very dark color on the walls and was selecting a very light, neutral color. However, the three man team that arrived were finished in a day and covered everything thoroughly so no dark color showed. They were very careful and neat and I did not find any paint spilled. When I realized that none of the trim had been patched, I spoke to Brad who had two guys out immediately the next day to finish. The color was so perfect that my stager asked if I could get it painted in the connecting living room and to replace the wallpaper in the kitchen. I was a little concerned since there is no break in the wall between the living room and kitchen so the texture on the wall would need to be matched very well going into the kitchen. Brad was able to give me a quote and get me on the schedule within a week. The living room was completed in a day but the kitchen wall texture had to dry overnight so painting resumed for another hour in the morning. Brad came by for a final walk-through and inspection and verified that the trim had been patched and touched up. I was very pleased with the quality and professionalism with everyone from Carnival!"

I was quoted about $3800 and 5-10 business days. The day work started (beginning of April), the contractor came with one gentleman who was introduced as his brother in law - the contractor made a joke about "nothing wrong with a little nepotism, right?". The brother in law was left to do all the demo himself - turned out that behind the tile on the walls, it was cement and not sheetrock as the contractor originally thought, so for the entire day he was there, he barely got half way done with all of the demo. He was supposed to be back at 8:00 the next morning, but the contractor called me to tell me that his brother in law was sick and wouldn't be out. So the 2nd day, no work was done. The contractor was very apologetic and assured me this is not how they do business. Already off to a bad start.
The wall guys came the 3rd day to finish the demolition work. They did not plastic off any of the doorways, so our entire front living area, two guest rooms, family room, and kitchen were COVERED in dust, not to mention carpet in the hall and guest rooms was ruined - it was terrible! (We eventually had to pull all the carpet up because it was unsalvageable.) They put up new sheetrock to replace what was concrete in the bathroom and in the shower area. That evening after they were complete and had left, I realized they had not built in the soap nook I had requested (and was paying extra for) in the shower area. The tile guys came on the 5th day to finish demoing the floor tile and to put up the backer board in the shower. I mentioned to them that the wall guys had not put in the soap nook, so the tile guys were really nice and pulled down all the sheetrock in the shower to build the soap nook, only to realize absolutely no insulation had been put in (the shower is against an outside facing wall.) The tile guys stopped what they were doing to go to the hardware store to buy insulation to install (this obviously wasn't their job.) Once they installed the insulation, they added sheetrock, and then finished the backboard. The tile guys were very friendly and very talented. However, they hadn't been given any direction by the contractor. They had no idea which way the floor tile was supposed to go (I had picked out rectangular tiles that were supposed to run perpendicular to the tub) and had no direction on what grout color I had picked out at the tile store - I had also given the names of the grout colors to the contractor. Neither grout colors were ordered, so again, the tile guys had to go to Home Depot to get grout. The grout color on the floor turned out fine, but the grout color on the subway tiled walls was incorrect. I wanted a grey grout to stand out against the white subway tile, but they used white grout that blended in. I didn't know it was incorrect until the entire room was complete since I was trying not to hover, so I never said anything as the renovation that was supposed to be 5-10 business days was already well into day 10 at this point.
The plumbing team came out next - there were about 5 gentlemen that came out to the house. I was responsible for purchasing the shower finishes prior to them being there - shower head, spigot, and knob. Once the plumbers got to work, they told me I was missing a part. I had no idea what they were talking about as I thought that all I needed were those 3 items. I had the boxes that contained everything needed for the renovation in the guest bedroom, and one of the plumbers proceeded to go into the bedroom and rummage through all of the boxes. I told him multiple times that I did not purchase the piece he was looking for, but he continued to rummage, going as far as opening up shoe boxes that contained shoes. At that time I called the contractor because I was so frustrated and had no idea what piece I was supposed to have purchased and did not know what next steps to tell the plumbers, and the contractor basically told me I should have known to buy it, as it is a common part that can be found in the shower head aisle at Home Depot. I had no idea as I don't typically renovate bathrooms and was very frustrated at this point. I had not been given a checklist of items I was supposed to purchase, even though I had asked for one at the beginning of the relationship, but I was made to feel like it was my fault the plumbers didn't have what they needed. The plumbers eventually went to their truck and ended up having the piece they were looking for, but it did not match any of the fixtures I had purchased (the piece they had was Delta and I had purchased Kohler or Moen I believe) so I had to return all my fixtures and purchase new Delta ones so they would be compatible. I still to this day have no idea what the part was that I had not purchased.
There was originally wallpaper on the walls, which needed to be torn down and changed to just regular textured walls. The contractor and I had discussed that I just wanted orange peel texturing. The texture guys came out, and when they asked for me to see their work after they were complete, they had done some texture that was NOT orange peel. It looked as though it had been scraped over for a flattened look. When I told them its not what I wanted, we called the contractor. He proceeded to tell me I had not said orange peel, I had said something else. I knew for a fact I had told him orange peel because I don't know any other types of wall textures! Just the one we talked about! The texture guys were very nice, although obviously frustrated, and came back out the next day to redo the texture.
The trim guy came out to do the trim around the doors and the crown molding. I believe it was the same guy that did the demo (the brother-in-law.) Once the work was done, I took a look and was so unhappy with it, I requested that the contractor have him do it again. The angles were completely uneven with huge gaps between where the wood meets, and nails hammered in at such angles that they were jutting out of the wood preventing the doors from even closing. I understand that you use caulking to cover up nail holes and seams, but this workmanship was unacceptable and would have been much better with correct measuring and carpentry skills. The floor board in the closet in the bathroom was reused, even though it was obviously damaged - it was also put over areas in the wall that had huge holes in it from where the original floor had been demoed. I could literally see into the wall right above where the trim was put in the closet - I later filled all of the holes with a bunch of caulking.
Once we were getting close to completing the renovation, there were a few adjustments to the invoice that needed to be made. The contractor had ordered bullnose tile that we didn't end up using, so I wanted that removed from the invoice. Also, because there was so much additional demo needed, he had quoted me an additional $200, but had put $250 on the revised invoice, and then he had not put the Angie's List 10% off discount that the give, even though it had been on the original invoice. He made those changes, but when I asked about returning the entire box of subway tile that had not been used, he told me he was comfortable with the amount that he ordered, and was not going to return that. He then proceeded to TAKE a bunch of the subway tile for himself, leaving me about half of what was remaining in case we had to do repairs. Shouldn't that be MY tile since I paid for it? Why did he get to take it?
Overall, there were several things that would prevent me from using this contractor again:
-Lack of communication - I never knew when workers were coming to the house or what time they would be there if they were coming. The contractor also didn't give clear direction to the workers on what needed to be done, from the grout color, to what the t"

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.
Both paint and wallpaper can work in a bathroom, provided you choose high-quality products in either category. Washable vinyl wallpapers can stand up to bathroom humidity without peeling, as can semi-gloss or gloss paint finishes. However, if you’re someone who likes to redecorate often, paint may make it easier to change colors or designs more quickly. If you want full humidity protection and cleanability, tile or stone works better.
There can be too much of a good thing when it comes to accent walls, so avoid creating one in every room in your house. Some rooms, like bathrooms and kitchens, don’t naturally lend themselves to accent walls, so it’s best to skip them there. Of course, your home should reflect your own sense of style, so if accent walls in multiple rooms appeal to you, there’s no hard-and-fast rule forbidding it.
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.
Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.
