We met with the company designer for color consult and some additional suggestions. Overall project took about a week. JB is a master carpenter and painter. He and his partner were punctual, worked diligently, and did a compete clean-up every day. JB did a walk-thru upon completion of the work to ensure we were completely satisfied. We have used Williams Professional Painting before for both interior and exterior painting and have been extremely pleased each time.

He also had great suggestions!! Although, I wasn't present when he completed the project I took pictures and sent them to David to show some areas of concern but I have yet to get a response. During the initial walk thru explained to David that I am very meticulous and typically see things that others would not notice. He stated he understood and he was was the same way. Overall, I the experience was pleasant but there were a few areas I wasn't happy with. The project tasks were:
~Remove old caulk and replace with new caulk in Master Bath shower
They missed one corner of the shower caulking. This was corrected on day two. But what I noticed on Day one all the old caulking was left on the floor of the shower. I assumed his crew would remove debris when they returned.
~Prep Master Bath walls for painting: Patch and Sand
The walls were damaged due to wallpaper removal on my part, but David's crew did a great job with the Spackle and sanding. Day Two his crew sanded. My issue his crew never removed the debris from sanding. I had piles of dust to clean up in the bathroom.
~Repair two cracks on the Master Bedroom wall
These areas were Spackled but never sanded. In fact they left a seam in the Spackle longer than the original crack they were covering. This issue was brought to David attention after day two but I have yet to receive a response!! ~Remove old caulk around Half bath toilet and replace with new caulk
No complaints and they removed the old caulk!
~Paint Foyer walls, doors and trim
They did a good job on the walls but there were some areas on the trim that were missed. I just went just painted the trim myself. There was paint on the carpet where the carpet and the trim meet on the steps. There were several steps that had paint on the carpet. I tried to get remove the paint myself but figured it would come up with I had the carpets cleaned professionally. Well the carpet was cleaned and the paint is still there!!
~Paint Upstairs walls, doors and trim
No complaints here Also, I would like to note this project was over a two day period (non consecutive). David was upfront about his schedule and from what I saw he had a very busy schedule for the next few months. I appreciate David working me into his schedule and I don't think the issues that took place, were due to his busy schedule. I think the issues were a matter of inspecting and follow up after his crew finished the job. What I didn't appreciate was the fact that Davids crew did not clean up when they finished working. In addition to the debris left from sanding and the old caulking they left there beverage bottles on the floor in the Master Bath. As mentioned Dave was responsive in the beginning and during the project but at the end when I presented the issues I received no response or follow up

Every night when they left they left the construction area looking clean and tidy. All of their work was very well done. Wherever they had to break thru walls and ceilings when it was repaired you couldn't tell once it was painted. I had been told they are the best in fredericksburg, but expensive. I think that pretty well sums them up. They would be my first call on my next home renovation.

"I recently bought a new house in Cobbs Creek, VA, and hired Custom Brush Painting with Pedro and his team to paint the interior of all the rooms. I could not be happier with the results. Pedro runs a very professional crew—skilled, efficient, and detail-oriented. They completed the entire job in just 4 days, and the quality of the work is outstanding. What impressed me most was the care they took in protecting my furniture, floors, and ceilings. Everything was covered and secured so well that there was no mess at all, just beautifully painted walls. Pedro’s team worked seamlessly together, and their professionalism really showed throughout the project. If you’re looking for top-quality painting done quickly and with great attention to detail, I highly recommend Pedro and Custom Brush Painting."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts
If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.
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.
While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in.
The fastest way to remove wallpaper is usually to spray the paper with a mixture of hot water and either vinegar or dish soap, let it soak in, and then scrape off the wallpaper using a putty knife. Unfortunately, this process can easily damage your walls if you spray too much or scrape too aggressively. Your best bet is to call in a professional wallpaper remover who knows how much to wet the walls and how much pressure to apply when scraping the paper off. They might also use steamers and other tools to speed up the process.
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.
