Tynan H. says, “The paint job looks fantastic as well, even the wall they had to patch after removing the wallpaper. Thank you!”
Teddy W. says, “He painted three rooms and my front door, plus two wallpaper accent walls. He’s fast, responsive, and the quality of his work is excellent. A great experience from start to finish.”
Rohita M. says, “He did a splendid job of smoothing the wall and prepping it for the wallpaper. The wallpaper install is seamless quite literally and looks painted on! Highly recommend.”
Jennifer B. says, “We hired Marcelo to install a bold print wallpaper in our primary bathroom, and he did an absolutely phenomenal job. It’s new construction and the walls were heavily textured, far from ready for wallpaper. Marcelo knew exactly what to do. He meticulously sanded them down to a smooth finish and primed them perfectly before returning to complete the installation. The final result is flawless! The wallpaper looks stunning and now the original walls seem so plain. Beyond the quality of his craftsmanship, Marcelo was a pleasure to work with. He was a great communicator, punctual, and efficient. We are thrilled with his work and already planning to hire him again. If you want the job done right, we highly recommend Marcelo!”
James Winwood says, “They also removed and replaced aging electrical fixtures. They would send us pictures each day to show us the progress they had made so we were kept up to date about the work they were doing. We are completely pleased with their level of communication during the project, and more than happy with team's final result. They were professional, on time, and on budget. We plan on using them for the rest of our remodeling tasks in the future.”
