Interior plastering
Wellington

Hi, we want to strip the existing wallpaper for 5 smallish bedrooms and a few other areas like hallway etc. The whole house is 180 square metres. so it will be less than this. I uploaded some photos for the bedrooms. After stripping the wallpaper, we would like to know what our options are in terms of rewallpaper or paint. But this depend on how much it costs for each. So please give us a quote on 1. the cost of strip wallpaper 2. the cost of apply the new wallpaper 3. Prepare a paintable wall 4. Paint the wall and let us know how long it will take to complete the job. Many thanks.

Don't go with this company,they did a run on us! Dean Brunsdon is the project manager for our job. The project is poorly organized that they were behind the schedule for weeks as they promised. Also, they do not use primer after the wall paper stripping and before plaster. This is result in that the plaster was all off and they have to re plaster them again for some spots. The second worse thing they have is the painting, there are many imperfections left on the wall. They do not use tape to cover the edges for the wall. So there is not a single painted straight line on the edge. Also, the painter did not clean the brush properly so there are many spots have lighter colour than the paint we chose because they have been all mixed with the white paint stay on the brush!! We decide not to complain until the end as we were hoping that they might still do a final touch up and it would be only fair if we start criticising when they finish the job first. But when we were told this is how good it gets, we mentioned they should use tape to redo the edges. Guess what, they put the tape up and did a run on us. Of course, when we take the tape off ourselves after a week (The time when we realize that they will not be back again),the paints are all come off as the tape was there for too long. The very worse thing is that they did a run on us without finishing the job. Even after we called them many times to only mention that they should pick up their tools without complaining the poor job they did. We have been paying them on time and in time in the hope of the money injection can motivate them do a better job. Anyway, this really put us off as we were really looking forward to the final result of the house. So all in all, do not go with this company as they are not only doing a poor job but also very unreliable
