Owner operated. Residential & Commercial Painting Services. Includes Interior, Exterior, Demolition, Power washing, Staining , Drywall, Decorator Assistance Experience- Installation of furniture, hanging pictures, lights, etc.

"Our garage floor was left a mess by the previous owners.. There were stains in the concrete. The paint left Was chipped and it was just a mess. Royal Hues came out and gave me an honest assessment of what needed to be done. Basically, they were starting over from the concrete. It took about a week, but the floor turned out really really nice. We can now walk from our garage into the house without taking our shoes off. Several of our neighbors have stopped to look at the floor and have nothing but good comments. If you have a floor that needs work I suggest that you call Royal Hues. They did a great job and I recommend them."

Locally owned small business of 2-3 employees. Licensed and Insured for your peace of mind! Keeping it small allows for owner to be on site at all times, which he prefers due to his meticulousness. Our prices will beat others, due to less over head, and quality of work is what we strive for! FREE Estimates.

"Nick showed up and said all the right things. We were impressed and planned to hire him regardless, but after waiting two weeks for his quote, we instead received an e-mail stating that he was not going to be able to do the job, despite the fact that we were months out. We asked why he was not going to quote the project and even asked if there was anything particular about the scope of work that he was concerned about, but he would not response. Courtesy would have dictated a phone call, but it seems everyone hides behind e-mails or text messages. So much for customer service."

We are a family owned and operated company that have been in this business for slightly over 15years. We do a wide range of interior and exterior remodeling. We do not touch too much major plumbing or electrical work.

"I would never recommend this group to anyone. The project was left an unfinished mess with much of the work they did complete having to be repaired/cleaned up/ re done by another contractor. They sadly were paid in full after their personal request, our fault and lesson learned, but after paying them they never returned funds or followed through on the many "I will make it right" promises. They now operate under the name "Over the Best Remodeling" and we have had to turn the matter over to legal counsel due to the epic issues associated with their "work" on our project. They no-showed, lied and made many unprofessional mistakes even while we provided them ample time in order to correct the issue. Do not use this group."

Wallcovering or wallpaper removals FAQs

A handyperson near you can take on the task of wallpaper removal. As a bonus, they can also take care of any needed wall repairs afterward and other odd jobs around the house. If you have high ceilings, ask whether they own ladders or scaffolding to do the job or will need to rent equipment.

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.

In many cases, you can paint over wallpaper, although it’s a better idea to remove it altogether. Try steaming the paper first to see if it easily comes off. Painting over it may be a viable option if it’s stuck on and will only come off in pieces. Wash the walls first and prime them with an oil- or shellac-based primer for the best results.

Wallpaper installation costs between $800 and $4,000. The total price depends on the price per roll, room size, wallpaper material, and required repairs. More complex projects involving luxurious wallpaper brands like De Gournay, Calico, and Pierre Frey result in higher installation rates due to the extra work required.

After removing wallpaper, you can dispose of small amounts in your household trash. However, suppose you are removing wallpaper from your entire home. In that case, 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.
