"Wallpaper removal and painting was done professionally using plastic protective material to protect house from dust and paint. Contractor was efficient and methodical in applying the Fresco base, texture and finish coats and glaze with excellent results. Also did an excellent job manufacturing and painting the custom mirror frame to match the new bronze sink fixtures and cabinet hardware.

"Greg's team did a great job with the project. I was particularly impressed by the work done preparing for painting. Surfaces were power washed, all seams were caulked, some minor wood repair was done. Also, as we were getting new gutters, his team removed the old gutters. I might have been able to paint the house for less, but I doubt I could have gotten a better job done. This was quality work."

"It took over 2 weeks to get an estimate and then it was about 25% higher than other painters. Very unprofessional. Kept saying they were going to get there to look at the job and provide a bid, and missed several appointments."

The kitchen lighting was a major task, and we had specific ideas how it should be done.  Eight four-foot fluorescent fixtures would be replaced with a 7' x 8' stained oak assembly recessed into the ceiling to house four 2' x 2' LED panels.  This was a unique approach using new technology and well outside traditional kitchen construction practices, but PHD took on the challenge and built a custom assembly that achieved the intended result (see photo). 

During remodeling, we expanded the scope of work more than once (at our request, not PHD's) with additional outlets, a new exterior door, a vent hood and other minor items.  All additions were accommodated into the ongoing work flow at reasonable or no cost.

The flooring work required removal of over 400 sq. ft. of vinyl flooring and its replacement with ceramic tile.  PHD was careful to check the slab for any cracking which would have led to problems down the road.

All work areas were isolated with dropcloths and plastic "tenting" as needed to minimize the propagation of sawdust, sheetrock dust, paint overspray and vinyl tile chips throughout the house.

The granite countertops were done with only one seam in the entire kitchen.  This seam was placed inconspicuously and fitted perfectly such that it is nearly invisible.  The slate-topped bar was done to our specifications, with individual tiles cut to size and beveled on-site to provide a unique look.

A significant effort was removal and replacement of some massive teak furniture in the den.  PHD carefully wrapped each piece in corrugated paper for protection and wrapped door openings as well for added insurance against dings and scratches.  All pieces were moved out a patio door and around the house to the garage for storage and returned when the remodeling was done.  This careful handling assured that nothing was damaged in the process.

The finished kitchen and den met or exceeded expectations in all respects.  All workmanship was professional and reflected a careful attention to detail.  Despite a large number of subcontractors moving through the house, all areas were kept clean and left spotless at completion.  See attached photo.  There were no cost surprises or significant delays in this fairly-complex remodeling task.

We are currently planning further remodeling work, and will definitely use PHD for these projects.

"We needed help cleaning out the garage which was filled with many items that needed to be disposed of and were too heavy for us to move. He not only moved things to the street for bulk pick-up, but helped rearrange all remaining items in the built-in storage and cleaned each shelf . He organized what we were keeping and it is now a pleasure to go out there. We can always find what we need. We did not tap into all of his talents as a builder/contractor, but we got done what we needed. We will definitely use him again."

"I was very satisfied with the process of the paint job in our home. We are new to the area and needed our new home to feel more homey. I was impressed with the professionalism of this company and chose them over a typical contractor or big name. The job went according to plan and was well overseen. When I had questions, they were easy to reach and put me and my concerns at ease. Very nicely cleaned up at the completion and will be using them again in the future for my exterior. "

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

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. 

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.
