"Troy was professional in his demeanor and work, and is reliable. He always kept me informed of what was going on and sent me pictures once finished. I truly appreciate this especially since I live out of state from where the work was done. This is the 2nd time I hired Troy, and I recommend him."

"Chris came out to the property on or about the 22nd of March.  After that I never heard back from him.  So, I sent an email through his website on  4-11-12 advising I never heard back from him and asked whether or not he was interested in the work.   (see below) 

I received an email back stating "Sent last week. Let me know if you can't find in inbox or spam folder." 

I sent an email to him again and said I had not received anything, and also said I dont get much spam because I have a Cox account. He sent another email saying "Please give me a call when you can. I'll give the information over the phone. I was wondering why you did not respond to my email. Now I know. You never received them." 

I responded with another email asking for him to send me another copy via email. I advised him I have an illness and would need to see it on paper and not by phone because I would not remember things accurately.

After that I cannot tell you what happened. I can only show the succession of emails as follows. I did not see these until the 13th when I went online to check email again to see if the estimate was sent to me per my request. This is what I found.
 
email response 1; "Here"
email response 2; "Sorry about that last email. Please give me a call at 5403148539"
email response 3; "Mr. Buesing. Please call me when you can. 540-314-8539 Thank you,
email response 4; "Give me a call when you can. Christopher 540-314-8539"

Please note, I did try to call him and his voice mailbox was full. I sent him another email and told him it was full so I could not leave any information.

I received another email the next day. "Can you send me you phone number? I'll call you".

This didn't make any sense because my email shows he received my name and information through his website. It recorded it and it says " wrote: ">[email protected]> wrote:  a form has been submitted on April 11, 2012, via: http://aaahandymanservice.com/contact-us/ [my IP addess]

(I removed my personal information so the world does not have my phone number)

He was a nice guy but I don't have a clue why business has to happen like this above. Could he not have sent the estimate via old fashion USPS? As of 4-14-12 1430 hrs I have not heard from him.

Wallpapering FAQs, answered by experts

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.

If you need a stronger magnetic surface, or you need to use a different type of paint in the room (like waterproof paint in a damp basement), there are other accessible options. You could fit a steel panel over the wall, try magnetic wallpaper, or apply chalk paint instead. 

If you want an inexpensive shortcut, hang a pinboard or chalkboard on your wall. These removable options are ideal if you’re a renter who can’t repaint or plan to move in the near future.

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.

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.

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.
