"Randy was very prompt in responding to our request for proposal . He was not very good at calling and leaving messages when he could continue to work on the job. He also demanded payment 1/3 to start, 1/3 half way through and 1/3 at the end of the project. He painted over electrical plugs in some places instead of removing the wall plate. There were spots that were missed or painted too lightly.  One time he called my phone and I couldn't answer at the time. He didn't leave a message so I assumed he had dialed a wrong number and he never called me back until one day he showed up and wanted to know why I hadn't called him back. Very poor communication throughout the job. And there were times he didn't show up when he said he would."

"The crew took everything down and put everything back in the proper places after painting I have a lot of pictures and I like to have all my pots hanging where they are easily reachable also my food prep machines out on the counters. The crew did not ask a single question. They are a pleasure to have in your home. they left things as they were except I had a new paint job which was excellent. The crew also washed down my cabinets in the Kitchen and they look like new."

"Julian provided a very professional contract with all the details covered.
The work started on time but finished late due to three days of weather delay.
We have used Julian's company before and were just as impressed this
time with his professionalism, attention to detail and close contact with us.
He introduced his assistant to us the first day so that we would know him
if he came alone, which he did one of the days.
He color matched paint, proposed a new product for the deck (stain and seal)
and found and fixed many things that were missed in the initial walk-around.
He threw in at no additional cost the door and trim of a backyard shed.
He left us with a small amount of each paint color and product for touch-ups.
All in all, a great experience - we plan to hire them to do the interior next.

"I was VERY disappointed, They did not clean the inside of the refrigerator or the microwave, The floors were untouched - needed mopping, vacuuming, and the stairs needed shampooing - but was not done. I had to spend 2 days cleaning these items myself, along with faucets, the oven door, outside of windows.......... it was a lot of work for someone 59 yrs old. WHAT in the world did I pay for?? I wrote to the owner and told him of my dissatisfaction - and then heard nothing. They also charged more than the other quotes. Redline - you blew it."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.
