"I am so pleased with my experience with Hedlund Painting. I contacted Zakary to repair trim / banister damage from an anxious puppy, as well as paint my kitchen cabinets and walls. I could not be happier with the result. Micah, the project manager, was on-time, detail-oriented, and caring in my home. I really appreciated how he stayed on top of the project, and that the project completed on time. I also want to credit the MASTERFUL painter/carpenter, Jesus, who painted our kitchen to PERFECTION and MASTERFULLY repaired our trim / banisters. I could not be happier with the outcome. Jesus was meticulous, skilled, polite, on-time, and a general delight to have in our home. I could not recommend Zakary, Micah, and Jesus enough - I will definitely be reaching out to Hedlund again for future home projects."

I provide handyman services, high quality and inexpensive! I have 2 years of experience in construction, my responsibilities included correcting and remaking robots in various forms before people moved into new housing. For example: something poorly painted, poorly assembled kitchen furniture, poorly installed baseboards, crookedly installed mirrors, holes in the walls, something poorly treated with sealant, kitchen appliances not connected correctly, etc., my task was to fix all this. I take responsibility for my work. I will be glad to help you with anything if it is in my power!

"I am a local elected official with a reputation for integrity, and I can confidently say this 1000% happened on Friday, January 24, 2025. Zero stars. This company is extremely shady. Jose, the co-owner, came out to repair some ceiling drywall but then claimed that a recently replaced pipe had broken as he was doing the drywall. This was an outright lie—he couldn’t even keep a straight face while trying to justify charging me more money to fix an issue he caused! Stay away from this company. They may be more “affordable” but it will cost you more when they claim there are other issues! His wife the “CEO” will probably come on this review and try to explain things always—but don’t buy it for a second. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I’m happy to provide further details. Avoid this company and their dishonest practices at all costs! (541) 645-0296"

"Painters showed up at the exact dates and times that we agreed to. The painters were very professional and informative along the way. The lead painter even showed up 3 days after completion to do a touch up inspection and touch up all spots required. The completed product was impeccable. I would definitely use this service Emmanuel Painting LLC again whenever I need to paint. In fact I have referred them to friends and neighbors."

"Jeff was supposed to come out in Sunday and said he would arrive at a specific time. He no showed I had to call him multiple times and he said eventually he couldn’t make it and would schedule me for the next day at 9am. I waited until 9:15am, called Jeff and he claimed to be in traffic but on the way. He was rude and hung up. I called again at 10:30 and he said he was just running late. He no showed and by 11:30 he didn’t even answer my texts or calls. I told him it was an emergency and he assured me when I initially contacted him that he could come out but he never did. I had a fridge and freezer out that was left out for two days because of his lack of communication I could have scheduled any other electrician or handyman that could have come out onsite instead of him, but he kept assuring me he would be there. Absolutely unprofessional and rude person. Would never recommend him to anyone."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

It’s best to remove wallpaper rather than paint over it. You should only paint over wallpaper if removing it would damage the wall, the surface is relatively smooth, or there are minimal problem areas—such as slight peeling and lifted seams—that you can fix easily. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it can create more problems if the wallpaper is in poor condition and you don’t properly prep the area for painting. Depending on the state of the wallpaper, color, and textures could show through, and moisture from the paint could loosen the adhesive, causing unsightly bubbling.

You can wallpaper and paint over certain types of wallpaper, but it’s usually a better idea to remove it first. Removing the wallpaper and prepping the wall before painting is a good way to guarantee a smooth finish that looks professional. If you ever have a moisture or water issue after painting over wallpaper, the paper will bubble and damage your wall. Additionally, you should never paint over wallpaper already peeling or otherwise damaged, as this will leave obvious imperfections in your wall and could lead to additional problems.

You can paint over wallpaper, but it’s not usually recommended, especially if the wallpaper underneath is textured or dirty. If you do decide to paint your wallpaper, make sure it’s in good condition and clean it very well. Make sure all corners and edges of wallpaper are glued down before you paint, as well.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.
