"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."
If you prefer peel-and-stick to traditional wallpaper, you can skip the priming process. Many manufacturers don't require an additional primer if you’re installing peel-and-stick wallpaper to painted walls. However, if you’re applying peel-and-stick wallpaper to unfinished drywall, you’ll need to apply a primer first.
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.
When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings.
Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.
Yes, you can apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling, but it requires significant preparation for a good result. Peel-and-stick wallpaper has a weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper and works best on smooth, non-textured surfaces like painted or primed drywall. Because wood paneling is often textured with grooves, any flaws in the underlying surface will likely be visible after application. To prepare the paneling, you must ensure the surface is free of cracks, holes, and protrusions by filling any indentations and sanding rough spots to create a smooth surface. An alternative is to remove the paneling and apply the wallpaper directly to the underlying drywall or plaster, provided it is in good condition.
The two most common reasons wallpaper does not stick are a lack of preparation and improper adhesive. Be sure to use the wallpaper paste designed for the type of paper you choose. Before beginning your project, make sure the walls are clean and free of dust, grease, and oils.
