"Just had some drywall repair work and painting done in my home by the Painter Inc and my wife and I love the results. Bacu, QR, and the crew of painters arrived on time everyday and performed the job with precision and efficiency. They kept us informed of their progress and immediately addressed any questions or concerns we had. I would definitely recommend their services. Great work!"
"I bought Wilber’s Painting coupon for 4 hours of wallpaper removal and drywall repair. I am very pleased with the work they did! Two men here from 8 am until about 4:45 pm. Of course, I paid extra for the additional hours. Well worth it. The painters were great – they did a beautiful job, worked quickly, cleaned up the space well after completing the work. They even put my elfa shelfing back up in the office closet. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them. I've included a photo of the drywall-repaired wall (the short wall without shelves) and the metal louvered closet doors they painted."
"The workers were on time and conducted themselves in a very professional manner. The trim looks great and the chandelier is beautiful. The workers helped move the furniture back after completing the painting. Brian and his crew will be performing a number of projects for us in the near future."
"Dory was excellent! She took down old wallpaper that I had painted over and then hung new wall mural in asmall bathroom. All for a very reasonable price!. I would definitely red C her again"
"All around great guy, texted him with short notice and got right back to me. He did amazing work and got it done even before he said it would be done. I would definitely recommend him for your painting needs. Great work"
"FANTASTIC! Already hired again! I made the mistake of not hiring Atlantic Dominion the first time to paint this room. However, Don came in and explained how he could remedy the unsavory unfinished work. He started promptly on the work and was able to save the walls. I spend a lot of time in my living room and now I want to spend even more time because the walls, trim and ceiling are magnificent. If you are like me, it has been hard to put a nail in the professionally painted wall to hang curtains or hang a picture. Just don't want to mess up the fine work that Atlantic Dominion did. I enjoyed his work so much that I have him out for another project. Hire Atlantic Dominion TODAY!"
"Rise up did an excellent job. Was very responsive. Showed up right on time. Work done in a very professional manner. I am in love with the final result. Would definitely recommend Rise up to anyone looking for a wallpaper installer!"

"Tom did an excellent job. I saw his work at a neighbors home and was impressed. Tom took the time to work with me. He reviewed quality of paints, price options, and schedule for work. The prep work on the walls (sanding, repairing dings, etc.) was excellent. It was nice to have the estimate for work prepared, presented and performed by the owner of the business instead of a sales/marketing rep. I would recommend Tom to anyone needing quality interior painting. "
"Job was completed right away and quickly which was crucial as we needed to move in and had a brief window to allow for a company to provide an estimate and complete the painting. Work was acceptable. Supervisor stated that they routinely patched textured walls but the work on this was poor. Required me to go behind them to ensure plates were removed, patchy work was fixed, and clean up was adequate. Found our front door open with no one home - one of the doors had not been adequately shut and locked and popped open. Signs were put in our yard without permission and we received a letter from our HOA about it."
The color of the paint, its opacity, and the depth of the texture on the paper all affect how many coats of paint you need to apply to paintable wallpaper. You'll need at least two coats of paint to ensure even coverage. Don’t be surprised if you need to apply three coats if the embossing is very deep or if you use a dark color.
You should be aware of the current wallpaper and interior trends before hanging it, especially if you are planning on selling or listing your home soon. Do people in your market tend to prefer bold designs and accent walls, or does having a simpler print all over seem like a better idea? Lastly, you want something that appeals to your aesthetic preferences; hanging wallpaper is an investment of your time and money after all.
The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.
Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can apply wallpaper on textured walls, the peel-and-stick variety won’t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.
While some people are confident in their ability to replace concrete by drilling out the broken pieces and replacing them with bagged concrete, it’s possible to run into snags that make hiring a professional worth it. Trying to level concrete slabs can require special equipment, which can be pricey to rent and tough to operate. It's also crucial to contact your town's municipal office to ensure you are allowed to take on the project without a permit.
