Yes, we install peel-and-stick wallpaper for clients who want a removable option. While it seems DIY-friendly, professional installation ensures straight alignment, proper adhesion, and seamless pattern matching that is difficult to achieve without experience.

Professional removal minimizes wall damage. Our team uses steam and proper techniques to loosen adhesive without gouging drywall. Some minor skim coating or repair may be needed after removal, which we include in our service.

Builders typically apply a single coat of flat-finish economy paint to keep costs down. This shows scuffs quickly, doesn't clean well, and fades faster than premium paint. A professional repaint with two coats of quality paint (like Benjamin Moore Regal or Sherwin-Williams Duration) in eggshell or satin finish lasts 8–10 years.

We recommend eggshell or satin finish for walls in family homes — they're washable, hide minor imperfections, and resist scuffing. Use semi-gloss for trim, doors, and high-moisture areas like bathrooms. Flat/matte finishes look beautiful but are harder to clean, so we reserve them for master bedrooms and formal dining rooms.

Painting the whole home in one project is more cost-effective per room than doing rooms individually — you save on setup, cleanup, and mobilization costs. It also ensures consistent color and finish throughout. Most 2,000–3,000 sq ft homes take 3–5 days for a complete interior repaint.
