"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."
To layer wallpaper over wallpaper, inspect your existing wallpaper for problem areas. Damaged wallpaper should not be covered. If it’s okay to proceed, prep by turning off the electricity and removing any outlet and switch covers. Dust your walls and lightly rinse them to prevent the existing paper from peeling. Apply primer, then apply your new wallpaper.
No. If you overlap seams, the wallpaper will not come out flat. In addition to possibly throwing off your pattern match between rolls, overlapping seems necessary. If wallpaper is properly acclimated, and temperature and moisture conditions are optimal during installation, there is no reason to fear shrinkage as it dries.
Darker walls may make tight bathrooms appear even smaller, but one dark accent wall can really make a bathroom pop. Wallpaper with a dark background can add intrigue and sophistication. Still, if you’re looking to open the room up and give it a modern, airy feeling, light colors may work best for your needs. Although there are some popular and unpopular opinions, there’s really no “should” when it comes to personal design choice.
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.
Deciding between a lighter or darker accent wall depends on the effect you’re going for. Choosing an accent wall in a lighter color will make a room feel brighter and more spacious and complement rooms with less natural light. A darker accent wall will add drama and depth to a room and help make larger rooms feel more cozy and intimate.
