Excellent work and attention to detail! Mal did a fantastic job painting our two rooms and installing a wallpaper mural. The paint job was clean and even, with careful attention to edges and trim work. The wallpaper mural installation was particularly impressive - it’s perfectly aligned and smooth with no visible seams or air bubbles. He was professional, punctual, and left the work area clean each day. The final result exceeded our expectations and we’d definitely hire them again for future projects. Highly recommended!

Details: Installation • Part of room or hallway • Less than 250 sq ft • Under 8 feet • Excellent - clean and smooth • Vinyl • Yes, the property is currently occupied

Mal is my go-to person for my wallpaper needs. This is the second home that Mal has done for me. He is meticulously and methodical and his attention to detail is what allows him to install very straight forward wallpaper cuts with ease and speed and the most intricate patters with double cuts with precision and care. I will keep using Mal’s services for the rest of the house. Thank you Mal!

Details: Installation • 2 rooms • 250 - 500 sq ft • 8 - 10 feet • Excellent - clean and smooth • Yes, the property is currently occupied

If you’re looking for a professional who will go above and beyond, look no further than Mal! We needed to sell the home that my husband’s grandfather built and had seen 4 generations of love. The house had gorgeous wallpaper from the ‘40’s in beautiful condition, but certainly not what first-time home buyers would be interested in We were advised by both our realtor and stager that removing the paper and painting the walls was a priority. At this point, we had multiple wallpaper/painting pro’s give us estimates. When Mal walked in the front door and we told him what we were looking for, he actually put his hand on the wall, caressed the paper, and said “Oh no. Why would you want to do that? This paper is perfect in this home.” It was at that point that I realized he would give that home the respect it deserved, if I could convince him to take the job!! And respect it he did. His work ethic, his knowledge, his craftsmanship is that of generations past. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The walls, window frames, ceilings, radiators…all touched by a master named Mal, and his worthy assistant Pauline. If your home deserves the best.. Mal is your choice!

Details: 3 rooms • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Paint wall • No, the property is vacant
