Introduction: I am a person who works across all the trades. I have found that on smaller projects, it is more efficient to work generally on my own, especially when different trades are involved.

I didn’t ultimately work with John but he was very responsive and my friend raved about his work. Don’t hesitate to contact him if you need a wallpaper project in your home. He is very reliable. I highly recommend working with him.

John installed wallpaper in two of our bedrooms and we are incredibly happy with the outcome. He even contacted the wallpaper company to make sure he bought the right adhesive for the installation. John is lovely to work with, took his time, and is a skilled craftsman.

John wallpapered the ceiling in my dining room and did an outstanding job. This review is long overdue as he worked on this last year for me, but it's a highlight in our home. The care he takes in his craft is beyond measure. I can't recommend him enough.

Had non-standard paper to install with a very difficult pattern match. John gave me a fair quote, came and did the work as promised. Very professional job and cleaned up after himself. Would highly recommend.

We hired John to hang wallpaper in our kids rooms and his work exceeded my expectations. He walked me through how much paper to purchase beforehand as it was a confusing process for me. He was very punctual and worked methodically to hang the paper. Both look amazing and we are very pleased with his work, and wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again
