"I am very pleased. From getting a very reasonable estimate until the painting began ( despite the rainy spring) took about a month and a half. The crew was professional, courteous, and hard working. My 100+ year old Victorian home's wooden eaves needed replacing and were too high for ladders, and the spindles on the front porch were time consuming. so it was not an easy job. It all looks wonderful!. Thank you JC and team."

"Nate and Junior are some of the most professional and respectful people I’ve ever met. I pride myself in being professional in my industry but they put me to shame in how incredibly helpful, flexible, and kind they are. I started demolition on my bathroom walls in my older house, with the expectation that another drywall professional was going to come and complete the project a few days later. That person called and cancelled on me (pushed me back 6 weeks) and I was left with a torn apart bathroom. I called 5 local professionals and everyone said it would be 6-8 weeks. Nate had me a quote and I was on the schedule within the same day I called. He started the project a few days later and it was finished in 10 days. To make sure you know how incredible that is, he was just as busy as the other local professionals but he saw I was in need and went above and beyond to help me out. He worked on the weekend and a holiday to get the job completed in time for me to stay on schedule with my remodel project."

"OK in general. The work was delayed a lot by the weather. The rotten top two 2x4 beams (10 feet long) were removed and replaced and primer placed on the bare wood during the first visit. That part of the job was excellent. When it came time to paint the new wood, the worked thought he was to do the carpentry work first. He noted it was done and offered to paint the entire trellis. He used a roller then a brush, but it was blue on blue, and I couldn't tell if anything was not painted. However it was clear he did not cover the white primer on the new wood well at all. There were multiple white areas showing. This could not be seen at eye level, but was glaringly obvious as you went up the stairs to our front porch, and was easily seen from the porch. I reported this to the manager, and she sent out a professional to finish the job correctly."

Tony and his crew were exceptional in the work they performed.  First day, a crew of 4 started cutting in around the ceilings and doors.  Two of the crew came behind and started putting the first coat on.  Tony's son, Colton, was an extremely hard worker.  He made sure that we were happy with the way things were going. 

At the end of the job, Tony gave us painters tape to indicate any problems or mistakes that needed to be fixed.  The last day, he did a walk-through correcting any and all problems. 

We are very happy with the work done by this company..

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Harrisburg, PA

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.
