"They did an awesome job painting my son’s bedroom which included a special design on one wall. I would recommend them to everyone needing painting done. I plan to use them again to paint another bedroom."

"The painting went great. They had to scrub the walls to remove the glue from the wallpaper and also seal them because the previous owner was a heavy smoker. They did a wonderful job and I would hire them again."

"John did an outstanding job. I had him come in to paint a 20 foot-tall foyer and stairway, a difficult job for most, but he finished in just a few hours. He showed up on time, performed outstanding work and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. His price was VERY competitve, and he went above-and-beyond in every aspect of his work. I will definitely be calling John again for all my painting needs."

"Kyle had to go to the attic for installing our exhaust fans. He found out that it was not vented to the outside. Our home is 35 yrs old. so he talked to us and told us this which we thought was the problem with humidity in the bathrooms. so he asked if he should vent the exhaust fans outside. We said absolutely. He did a great job and no more issues in either bathroom. then he had some cedar siding that is warped and asked him to replace a few boards. so he stained them and replaced. The siding looks so so much better. We ordered more siding and waiting for it come in so we can have Kyle come out and replace more warped boards. Plus he fixed out falling mailbox do to plow hitting it. He did a great job."

"Words cannot describe the amazing job Curt and his team did on my condo.  I recently moved into a beautiful two-level loft with the layout of my dreams.  The only problem was that I despised the paint colors on every single wall in the place.  The project would require extremely technical painting as the walls were not in good shape.  There were holes and uneven patches hidden throughout; areas that were extremely high with lots of curves, ledges and angles.  The place also had closets with built-in shelves and drawers that needed to be removed prior to painting. Curt was fantastic throughout the entire project.  He kept in touch with me prior to the project to discuss colors and ideas.  There were some glitches along the way, one being that the owner needed to stay in the place an extra week, which would require us to postpone the project a full week.  Curt was extremely accommodating and adjusted his projects to make the timing work.  I’m a very picky and fickle person, and own up to the fact that I was probably one of Curt’s more high-maintenance clients, especially when it came to choosing my paint colors. He is an expert in color, and knows what will look good in a north vs. south facing room/rooms with little or no light and natural light. Curt was extremely patient with me, allowing me to take my time in selecting the colors.  He offered opinions that kept my personal tastes in mind.  On multiple occasions he told me that he would not feel like he was done with the job  unless we ended up with a place that I loved.  And love it I do.  Per his suggestion, we decided to do two-tone faux painting on the concrete beams throughout the place which are absolutely beautiful.  My father is in the hardware business and has a good eye for what constitutes quality work. When he saw what Curt and his team had done with the place he said it was some of the best painting he had ever seen.  I sometimes find myself just staring at the walls in awe of how beautiful they are. I have found a painter for life, and when I purchase my next home, I will make sure it’s a place where I hate every paint color so that I can go through the process of painting all over again.  He made a stressful project an extremely pleasant experience for me and I will be forever grateful."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling, but it requires significant preparation for a good result. Peel-and-stick wallpaper has a weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper and works best on smooth, non-textured surfaces like painted or primed drywall. Because wood paneling is often textured with grooves, any flaws in the underlying surface will likely be visible after application. To prepare the paneling, you must ensure the surface is free of cracks, holes, and protrusions by filling any indentations and sanding rough spots to create a smooth surface. An alternative is to remove the paneling and apply the wallpaper directly to the underlying drywall or plaster, provided it is in good condition.

Ideally, you want to ask the wallpaper installers you’re considering for examples of past work, and references you can call. These will prove that the installer can handle your job, make your room look professional, and will also give you some insight into the kind of customer service you can expect. Before you start calling companies, you might want to narrow down your options by finding installers with mostly positive reviews online.

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. 

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.

The two most common reasons wallpaper does not stick are a lack of preparation and improper adhesive. Be sure to use the wallpaper paste designed for the type of paper you choose. Before beginning your project, make sure the walls are clean and free of dust, grease, and oils.
