"Jhon and the team were very professional, from setting up the project, to careful completion. Very competitive pricing. This was an exterior porch painting project, with white railings, posts, and skirt lattice, and red flooring and lower trim. They did a very clean painting, with excellent coverage. I would hire again, for either exterior or interior projects."

"Treated myself to a Big Deal for $99 (6 hrs of cleaning, or 3hrs with 2 people). This is the 2nd time I’ve had someone clean my house, the previous time was also an Angie’s List Big Deal, about 2 years ago. I was so pleased with their services. Paula and her co-worker worked diligently and left my house sparkling. I have a split level home, about 1,500 square feet, occupied by 4 adults and a furry dog. When Paula arrived we discussed my priorities. They were the 3 bathrooms (one was especially in rough shape) and the kitchen. I told her anything else would be bonus as far as I was concerned. They did a great job with the bathrooms and the kitchen, and on top of that vacuumed the living/dining room, hallway & stairs, and mopped the tile floor in my family room. It was so wonderful to have this taken care of before the holiday season."

"Chris came out to the property on or about the 22nd of March.  After that I never heard back from him.  So, I sent an email through his website on  4-11-12 advising I never heard back from him and asked whether or not he was interested in the work.   (see below) 

I received an email back stating "Sent last week. Let me know if you can't find in inbox or spam folder." 

I sent an email to him again and said I had not received anything, and also said I dont get much spam because I have a Cox account. He sent another email saying "Please give me a call when you can. I'll give the information over the phone. I was wondering why you did not respond to my email. Now I know. You never received them." 

I responded with another email asking for him to send me another copy via email. I advised him I have an illness and would need to see it on paper and not by phone because I would not remember things accurately.

After that I cannot tell you what happened. I can only show the succession of emails as follows. I did not see these until the 13th when I went online to check email again to see if the estimate was sent to me per my request. This is what I found.
 
email response 1; "Here"
email response 2; "Sorry about that last email. Please give me a call at 5403148539"
email response 3; "Mr. Buesing. Please call me when you can. 540-314-8539 Thank you,
email response 4; "Give me a call when you can. Christopher 540-314-8539"

Please note, I did try to call him and his voice mailbox was full. I sent him another email and told him it was full so I could not leave any information.

I received another email the next day. "Can you send me you phone number? I'll call you".

This didn't make any sense because my email shows he received my name and information through his website. It recorded it and it says " wrote: ">advanceyourlisting@live.com> wrote:  a form has been submitted on April 11, 2012, via: http://aaahandymanservice.com/contact-us/ [my IP addess] 
Your default form> Your Name    Moke Buesing > Email    Phone    540-xxx-xxxx > Message    Chris, I have not heard back from you regarding a quote for the Grayson Ave home. Were you interested in the work? Thank You > powered by cformsII 

(I removed my personal information so the world does not have my phone number)

He was a nice guy but I don't have a clue why business has to happen like this above. Could he not have sent the estimate via old fashion USPS? As of 4-14-12 1430 hrs I have not heard from him.

"Beyond expectation. The quality of craftsmanship was very impressive. Contractor was very professional and kept in touch with the progress. He was very trustworthy and left me confident in his work. The pricing was more than fair. I will be referring him to my family and friends for any work or repairs they may need."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Roanoke, VA

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.
