"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."

"It has been a pleasure and a privilege to do business with Walter Barber.  Mr. Barber is exactly the person we wanted to paint our house.  We wanted a person who would not cut corners, but do a thorough and careful job.  We knew Mr. Barber was our painter when he told us that he did not believe in using sprayers.  He liked to paint the old-fashioned way with brushes and rollers. 
We were very fortunate that he was available immediately.  He removed wallpaper from two bathrooms, textured, and painted.  He also painted the trim and cabinets of the master bathroom.  Then he moved on to preparing and painting the exterior of our house.  Walter has a wonderful attitude about working and life in general.  Not only is he an optimist, he is self-confident.  He has a will and love for his profession.  
It seems that no job is daunting for Walter Barber.  He will take it on, setting his goal for the day and pacing himself until he achieves it.   Our wooden siding was dry and cracked, and needed some boards replaced.  Even though he prefers not to do the carpentry himself, he did it anyway, and it looked great afterwards.  Walter Barber is a painter with a name that we will not soon forget.  Had he been a part of a crew that comes in and leaves in a few days, we would not have had the privilege of getting to know a little bit about him as a person, and we feel richer for the opportunity to have met such a diligent and genial person.
When Walter says that most of his business comes from repeat customers, you will most definitely believe it.  We are looking forward to seeing Walter again.

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

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.

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.

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.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.
