"Ben did an excellent job painting our house!! He is very meticulous with his work. Ben’s knowledge in treating and painting the wood is invaluable. He knows what he is doing, and thoroughly explains everything. Ben takes great pride in his work, and he really cared about us being happy, which we were. In addition to painting the house, I asked Ben if he could also make and paint shutters. He was so willing to accommodate our wishes. On our part, we just needed to be patient. The weather got in the way, but the outcome was so worth it. Great job to Ben and his crew! Will hire again!"

"What a great job. Shawn & Sarah did an amazing job. Not only were they exactly the right pros to paint the cabinets but they also were able to guide us on some color choices. They were fair with the price and worth every penny. If you want your cabinets done right these are the people to use. Good communicators. Awesome work. Neat & clean and treated our kitchen like it was their own. I’d recommend them all day long. Thank you guys!!"

"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."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to hang your own wallpaper, but the process is tedious and potentially frustrating, and it can be challenging to get seams to line up and look clean and professional. Plus, depending on the type of wallpaper you’re installing, using too much or too little adhesive could cause damage to your drywall or plaster, peeling, and bubbling in the final product. It’s usually a better idea to hire a professional wallpaper installer to do the work for you, as the relatively low cost is justifiable, if only to avoid damage to your walls.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

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.

To determine how many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper you need, measure the square footage of the walls you’re covering and divide that by the square footage that each roll covers. Add 10% to 20% of your total square footage to account for pattern matching or damage while installing.

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.
