Eric D. in March 2003
"Mr. Gonzalez has accessed the projects, and won't be starting work before April 4, 2005. Therefore, I have not had a chance to rate his actual performance. However, we have discussed pricing, corrections on the previous job, and it appears things will work out nicely. He was on time, courteous, and budget conscious. The quality of work will be determined later, but I feel he will do an excellent job. Ask me later. Thanks,"

Wallpaper can spruce up any room around the house and show off your creative side while tying together the furniture. However, improperly installed wallpaper can be a mess. Some of the most common problems are:
- Wallpaper which doesn't lay right because the walls weren't sanded
- The wrong glue was used for vinyl or fabric wallpaper
- Dull razors rip the paper during the installation process
- The paper bubbles from excessive air trapped under the paper
Contacting a professional can prevent many of these problems and save you money in repair costs later on. Enter your zip code. HomeAdvisor will connect you with wallpaper hangers in your area.
