"This review is for est. no. 13342 and the work performed on July 1, 2025. Elliot Lund and Alex Biggan will furnish endless painting spin talk. What you will "not" get is the important surface preparation work specified in the estimate. You also will "not" get a good quality paint work. If you want a painting job that looks like it had been done by your neighbor's 10 year old son, then Culver's Painting is the company for you."

"This is the second time I hired Tim to paint interior walls he is such a wonderful man, he came with his helper Tim (yes both are Tim’s) he also is a super nice and friendly guy. I was so happy that Tim was able to come a couple of days later and paint living room, dining and hallway their workmanship is second to none excellent, he goes out his way and even painted door trim and touched up a few other spots that were not part of the job, if need a top quality job done you need to call Tim Bast painting you will not regretted."

Cost is determined by the job and there is rarely a down payment required. I accept cash, checks, most major credit cards (through PayPal - even for clients with no PayPal account and I can accept cards in person as well), PayPal transfers, and also offer installment plans for approved clients. We do all the work ourselves, are fully insured, and if a sub-contractor is needed for some aspect of the job (i.e. plumbing/electric) this will be specified at the time of the estimate.

"Two Day Painting painted our basement. This was a professional company experience from start to completion. We showed what we wanted done, they explained how they would accomplish that, giving suggestions but leaving the final choices up to us. They delivered exactly what was promised. "

"I would not hire THE VILLAGE PAINTER again, nor can I recommend him to others. Despite one of the warmest autumns on record (which is an ideal time to paint exteriors), and many 50 degree (and above) days well into November, the job was left half painted/finished over winter. In fact, the owner (JOHN) attempted to bill me for the half completed job--and that's how I learned that the exterior was going to be left unfinished. At one point, one of his painters (JOHN did/does not do any painting himself) came over to paint in the early morning hours, when frost was still on the surface, and I had to tell the painter to wait until the ice and moisture had dried on the surface to be painted. He told me that he would return in the afternoon when the sun was out and temperatures were above freezing, but he never came back for the rest of that year. He left paint and supplies out of sight and unprotected behind the garage, which then resulted in the paint freezing. Additionally, when I asked them to cover windows to protect them from prepping and painting...they did not, and I needed to remind the painter several times to make sure all concrete surfaces were protected from paint drips. Some areas were caulked--but never primed--with only one finish coat going over it. I am worried that the paint warranty is now compromised, because paint was not applied according to product directions (it states 2 finish coats must be applied at the time of painting {not months between] on the label. This was a very small exterior job, and I feel that JOHN did not take it seriously enough to plan for, and/or complete the job in a timely manner. It was finally completed the following spring (with only one coat/again against product recommendations)."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Burlington, WI

You can determine your wall type through tactile and visual tests. Start by checking the surface by inserting a thumbtack, feeling the texture, tapping to listen for a hollow sound, and examining cut edges under outlet covers. Drywall feels soft with a hollow sound, while plaster is hard and solid. These checks are especially useful in older homes where plaster is more common.

After removing wallpaper, you can dispose of small amounts in your household trash. However, if you are removing wallpaper from your entire home, you’ll need to contact a waste removal service, rent a dumpster, or arrange a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste service. Wallpaper cannot be recycled, so it is important to keep it separate from the recycling stream to comply with local waste guidelines.

It takes a professional from several hours up to a full day to remove wallpaper from a single room. The removal duration depends on the type of adhesive, the age of the wallpaper, the condition of the wall, and the number of layers present. High ceilings and additional layers increase the time required, as extra care is taken to protect the wall surface while ensuring a complete removal.

Using fabric softener with water is an option for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited and depends on the type of wallpaper being used. This low-cost method is most effective on modern, less porous wallpaper and may not yield optimal results on vintage or textured varieties. It might also affect wall surface preparation for new coverings if the residue is not completely removed. For stubborn adhesive or textured surfaces, professional solutions are recommended to ensure a thorough removal without damaging the underlying wall.
