John started in the drywall business in 1978. He is an Austin native and works on each and every job. He has an experienced crew to assist with larger jobs. He has been rated Top Drywaller in Austin for many years. Please text him at 512-789-0937 with your home address and type of work needed and he will call you back to discuss and set appointment.

"I am extremely happy with my experience with John and his company. A section of my garage ceiling fell and needed to be replaced. John outbid every other contractor with a fair price. He was professional, responding to ever call/text, and he confirmed day and time he would come to my house to complete the work. John and his team showed up promptly to do the work. It was amazing to watch how seamlessly he and his team worked. His experience and professionalism truly show, and there is no doubt he does his best work and takes pride in a job well done. At one point I told him not to worry about how pretty something looked because after all, it's a garage and it was an area in the corner. He said that if something is going to be done, it should be done correctly and done right the first time it's done. I should add that not only was the sheetrock replaced, but the length of the ceiling that was replaced was reinforced with 2 x 4 pieces of wood. That section of the ceiling definitely is NOT falling down any time soon. When all the work was done, they cleaned up and hauled away all the old material. You can't tell anything happened in the garage because of how clean they work. I highly recommend this company and would rehire in a heartbeat if any other drywall projects need to be done."

Newmatic Painting and remodeling is fully insured and offers free estimates for any type of home improvement or repair. No job is too big or too small. Communication and customer satisfaction are top prioroities.

"I have hired Jeff and his team to do work on my homes three times now. Pride in his work shows. Not just Jeff, but everyone on his crew has always show up on time, and considerate of our spaces and even social distancing as necessary. Our most recent project was at the beginning of the Covid-19 quarantine and outside, but it was necessary for them to come in a bit). The quality of the work has always been outstanding and better than the (old but longstanding) builder quality which I hire them to upgrade for me. They pay attention to detail and always go above and beyond - when surprise "extras" appear in the work, offering choices for solutions that won't break my budget. It is so hard to find great contractors that not only show up (on time!!) and finish on time, but also stay on budget. Jeff and his team not only do this, but also great people. I won't hesitate to recommend them and hire them again for any future home improvements and repair."

"Gary and his team are fantastic! Hands down the best we've worked with in our 20+ years as home owners. As long as Gary is working, we will never go with anyone else. The entire experience was pretty amazing and pain free. They come in, do the work efficiently - each person on the crew knows exactly what they are doing and how to do it - and when they leave, the only way to tell they were there is because of perfectly done end product. Gary, and each member of his team, treated our house like they were working on their own. Call him, you will not be disappointed!"

"Terrible experience! Incompetent crew. Ineffective salesperson (Mark). Project lead (Rene) was a ghost. A 3-4 day external house painting project turned into 3 weeks (3weeks!) of a trashed worksite. The crew was left unsupervised to handle prep work (repairs, primer, caulk, etc) and seemed reluctant to finish prep before painting. Called our point of contact (Mark) numerous times to ask for corrections and where was the project lead (Rene)? We actually had to lock up the paint because the crew just kept painting before all prep was finished! Lots of wasted paint, time, and materials. It came down to us finally asking for the owner’s contact info. Suddenly the project became important enough to complete & the project lead was onsite for the final 2 days. Owner (Ellis) said; “If I had known sooner, I would have sent a different crew.” What??! You sent us your D-team? Does another competent A-team exist? How effective is your salesperson as our point of contact? Why didn’t he keep you informed of all progress? Why did we need to call you? Not surprisingly, both owner and salesperson seemed very interested in NOT receiving a bad review. Right…. Job finally finished. Not worth the pain. Would NEVER recommend Southern Painting. Very unprofessional."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s best to remove wallpaper rather than paint over it. You should only paint over wallpaper if removing it would damage the wall, the surface is relatively smooth, or there are minimal problem areas—such as slight peeling and lifted seams—that you can fix easily. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it can create more problems if the wallpaper is in poor condition and you don’t properly prep the area for painting. Depending on the state of the wallpaper, color, and textures could show through, and moisture from the paint could loosen the adhesive, causing unsightly bubbling.

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.

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. 

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.
