"My wife and I have hired Showstopper Painting a total of four times. To say we are extremely satisfied feels like an understatement. We have a 40yr old Townhouse with aluminum siding. We selected a blue/gray exterior paint. Showstopper did a great job. We contracted them to paint the first floor and then the second floor. They painted everything ceilings, walls, baseboards, doors, door frames and window trim. They patched, puttied and sanded wall anchor holes, nail pops, drywall cracks and corner separations. The drywall repairs were flawless. The trim work (baseboards, window frames) cut in flawlessly. So, Why not do our deck. Our deck is somewhat complicated with built in seating. They taped it off with plastic. No Over spray and again flawless. Now, Show stopper does subcontract the work. Their Professional Supervisors were on site most of the day. If things were not done to their salinification, It was corrected, to the supervisors satisfaction and ours. This is not a 'two men & a brush' operation. During the four contracts they showed up early in the morning and were on site all day. Each of our 4 contracts took 2 days. Showstopper had a crew here, they worked all day and were on time. Karen from Showstopper was our contact. She had a great rapport with the subcontractors, oversaw their efforts and made corrections when necessary. All in all it was a great contractor experience having Showstopper Painting paint our home. We highly recommend Showstopper Painting and Karen to paint your home."

"Overall, substandard. William (painter) confirmed 2 coats of paint reqd & confirmed he could make repairs on swirl-textured surfaces. Textured surface repair was just to glop more paint in a swirl "pattern", several areas showed that 2 coats were not applied as required with original paint showing thru. I pointed out problem areas, he did not fix them. Had 3 gal wall paint left, 1 1/2 gal ceiling paint left (he told me how much was required). Told me not to worry, his standards were higher than mine. Ha! He recommended that I paint my beautifully stained baseboard...no way. Evident why when he didn't cut in on wall edge of baseboard. More paint gaps there. There is no way I would let him set foot in my house again based on his crappy paint job. Photos can be provided upon request."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.

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 it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it’s not always ideal. If the wallpaper is firmly adhered, has no bubbling or peeling, and isn’t textured, you can try to prime and paint over it. Use an oil-based primer to prevent the adhesive from bleeding through. However, if the paper is damaged or loose, removal is the better long-term solution.

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. 

Mixing fabric softener into water is a low-cost way to remove wallpaper that has been passed among DIYers for years, but it has limited success. It works on some wallpaper, but not likely on vintage styles. Also, be careful, as it could interfere with the new wallpaper’s grip power.
