"I am leaving a review for Matt for two reasons. First, I would like to comment on my personal experience with Matt as a professional painter/small business owner and, even more, as a human being. Matt was, at all points, professional, timely, honest, accommodating and knowledgable as to how to help me with a few things regarding my damaged walls, aside from painting. Knowing I was hoping to have my home painted sooner than later, he even offered to see if he could talk to another client so as to accommodate my needs of moving forward quickly (I am renting my home). Which brings me to the 2nd reason I am leaving a review. Matt has, through no fault of his own, become caught up with a horrifying former tenant of mine. The review left below by Amanda W. is not a fair nor accurate representation of the truth or of Matt and his business. There is a lot to this story but, without getting into the details, I am just hoping that Matt's business does not suffer as a result of my evicting/renting to these people. Matt was one of the painters I had come to my home to give me an estimate with regards to fixing the damaged walls and repainting, necessitated by the actions of my former tenants. When my lawyer sent out the initial letter stating how their security deposit would be used (aside from unpaid rent and other damages), she sent the quotes from the three painters I had give estimates, Matt being one of them. She "knew" Matt as she had, in one of her many inane acts, previously invited him into the home, pretending to be the owner. His "helping" me actually demonstrates his character. Through a bizarre twist in this terrifying experience as a landlord, I received a message from a mutual friend of Matt's and mine, asking if she could give him my number as he didn't think my tenants were very honorable...That was my first experience with him-him taking time out of his day to let me know some of the shady things that he experienced with them. Later, I did have him meet my mom at the house to provide an estimate. He, in no way, should be on the receiving end of this for simply giving an estimate to bring my home back to a livable space. At the end of the day, I feel responsible that he is being brought into this craziness that has come from the process of evicting Amanda W and her husband. By my lawyer forwarding the three estimates, Matt's being one, she went off on another tirade that has very little to do with the truth or reality. She has left this review on various sites such as this and I have been attempting to help have them removed, as I hate that someone else is being affected by her horribleness. We have been successful in having some of them taken down but other sites, such as this, just advise that I leave my own review to counter what she has claimed here. I could get into a long list of crazies that I have experienced with this woman/couple to further amplify the reality of the situation, but I am just hopeful that you won't let an angry, dishonest and horrifying woman's claim stop you from calling Matt. Talk to him yourself. See his work; it speaks for itself."

"We had our home in northern wisconsin for 22 years. Over that time we had 4 other painters that we had used prior to Colt. He is by far and away the most professional individual we have ever had paint for us and would absolutely use him again. I would encourage any body looking for a painter to consider Bluewing!"

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

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.

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.
