"Randy was very responsive.  He returned calls promptly and was flexible in scheduling a time.  He helped us to sort through options and worked hard to remove the leaves that were frozen to the gutters.  We plan to use him for other repairs that we need.

"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.

"Finding Jason and Redline was a lifesaver!! He came and gave us an estimate and then showed up on time and worked like crazy. Redline has several team members, but because we needed help on very short notice - Jason did it all himself in 2 days. He disposed of 4 van loads (1500 lbs. each) of items by donation, recycling, or the dump. He took care of everything - we did not have to lift a finger. We did not even have to separate "keep" items from "garbage" as he remembered our instructions and was on top of it. He was professional, likeable, honest, thorough and calm. He glanced through everything during the process and would ask or bring back items that might be sentimental or have any monetary value. Jason at Redline was a true Godsend. I've never been this lucky or happy with a service before and I am really picky. I have already hired him to come back for cleaning services after the paint and carpet are finished so the house will be sparkling before we put it on the market. His price was REASONABLE and he was a joy to work with. Jason and Redline are the BEST and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. In fact, my neighbors saw his work and hired him to do the same for one of their rental properties. HIRE REDLINE - you will be happy you did!! Thank you Jason and Redline!! I don't know what we would have done without you. * I think he may have underbid our job some as he originally estimated it to be 2 van loads. I also added some additional and exterior things during the job. We owned some items he agreed to barter for rather than increasing the price. I only mention this because if your estimate is higher than mine -- I guarantee you, he is being more than fair. He has earned my trust completely -- and I'm a retired attorney."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

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.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.
