"Had Jose come by to get an estimate on getting the entire shower stall done. When he got here we talked about what we wanted done and he showed us pictures of samples of what it would most likely look like and he would get back with us on the estimate.. Then my wife and I started talking about how good it was going to look .We started looking around and decided why not go ahead and have the entire bathroom done to give it a fresh new look...contacted Jose to let him know that we wanted to expand the scope of the job......he gave us an second estimate for the added work and we went from there . We were very satisfied with the completed work. The bathroom looks fantastic. Have used JY HANDYMAN SERVICES a couple of times now and will use them again. Jose and his crew do excellent work and they make sure its done right and things are cleaned up. Also like to thank his wife for keeping us informed and updated on the what's and the when's things were going to happen. She does a great job of keeping you informed.......We talked to Jose about having our front bathroom redone @ the first part of 2019.. He said to give him a call and he would be out to give us an estimate. Another big thanks to JY HANDYMAN SERVICES......job well done!!!"

"The owner walked through the house, not at the scheduled time, and prepared the estimate. Action was the lower of two bidders by 14%. I hired them to work on the house prior to my moving in. They began the afternoon that I closed on the house in the morning. Great on starting the job! I left town to pack my old house for a week, my mistake. What it now appears they did is just put texture over the old wallpaper in several rooms, because they now are peeling at the edges. Also, one bathroom they ran short of paint. Instead of buying another can to finish the job, they just barely painted over the wallpaper and they certainly didn't texture it. In another bath they didn't even texture or paint over a space between two door frames. They also oversprayed paint on to trim. Fate hit in the form of Ike when they were about 95% done since some spots were obviously not painted or textured. We didn't have power for 2 weeks and I had trouble spotting the mistakes. They forgot they hadn't finished and sent me the bill. I told them to come and finish during daylight, they declined until the power came back. Then they sent one guy out who seemed rushed like he had some place else to be. I complained about the lack of texture within 1 or 2 inches of trim and bathtubs. They told me they couldn't do that. Since then, I've applied texture where I had to go and put on a second coat since some walls had little white dots where the texture material showed instead of paint. I caught several of these on the final visit, but I have found more over time. These aren't single mistakes. It's consistent mistakes over several rooms. I got a quick and cheap job. The quality was bad. I've had the other painter in to fix the trim and paint another room. They removed all wallpaper instead of hiding it. They textured within 1/2 inch or less without a special request. They were very careful not to overspray."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

White walls are considered a classic and timeless look and will most likely always be in style. A white wall easily blends into any type of home decor style which makes it a suitable option for most homeowners. Another appealing quality about white walls is that if it's not a color someone is going for, the color is easy to paint over.
