This was a disappointing experience. I first made contact with Gary by email. He replied right away and i was even more surprised at his immediate response because he was actually out of the country. Since the relationship started off so well i decided to wait til he returned home so i could have him do the work. However, this turned out to be the best part of it. He estimated the job to take 4 days and i arranged with my boss to let me work from home during this time. Instead the job took 8 days. As it turns out, he didn't start on the day he promised. Therefore, i had to ask him to work on a Sun to make up for it. He did. He never showed up on time [1-2 hours late] for each of those days. I am a business women so I view these things as poor business practices. When i expressed my frustration about the length of time it was taking, he got very defensive and complained about how little he was making on this job and that he was missing a fine dining experience with his family because he was at my house so late [beyond 5pm]. This was a very surprising and unprofessional response. The paint job was impeccable but can't say the same for the wallpaper as there are noticeable seams. I know what great work is because i had my bedroom wallpapered a few years earlier by someone else and there are no noticeable seams in my bedroom. The only reason i didn't call that guy back to do this job is because he is not local. Gary is a super nice guy and I feel bad about this but also feel I'd want to know how things went as I rely on reviews to make my decisions about who to use.
Description of Work: I had him paint and wallpaper my living room. I live in a 1800 sq ft house so relatively small. He painted 3 of the 4 walls and one wall needed to be plastered [smoothed out] before he applied the wallpaper.

Response from Ultimate Wallcovering
Well (deleted member name) I guess you can't please everybody ! In your own words "The job started a day behind schedule". These things happen in the construction/remodel business. As I am on the "finish" end I am often affected by other contractors causing delays. Like I said, These things happen. So the job took a day longer or I worked a day more ? than planned. Either way? Like I told you at the time I'm not charging you by the hour, so was it a race? I prefer quality over making an extra buck personally after doing custom residential wallcovering installation for over 30 years in Southern Orange County, I'm way past looking to get rich, for me its about my pride in the workmanship. As to the seams showing? Every wallpaper is different, some will show seams, some won't this is not a reflection on the installer. I suggest you take a look at the gallery on my website? The pictures speak for themselves. And well, working on a Sunday? Really? I did in an effort to accommodate you, even though I had a family function to attend, as you knew I had just returned from several weeks in Germany where my wife was receiving medical treatment there were a lot of people including my wife counting on me to be there that Sunday. I mean it sounds like to me that I just couldn't please you. For that I am sorry. If you feel that there are some corrective measures that the wallpaper seams need, are they visible or separating? Because there might be a problem with the paper if the seams are separating. I suggest you contact me so I can stop by and take a look (Yes even on a Sunday). Maybe there is a legitimate issue that can be fixed? If you thought I was rude towards the end I certainly apologize. Regardless of the personal stress I was under from all the travelling and a seriously ill wife. That is not something I should let get the better of my patience in a professional environment. I try very hard to please my clients.I truly am sorry you were not. Best regards , Gary Bate.

From the first email to the last, the owner, Gary, was incredibly responsive, professional, and helpful. He did a beautiful job in the nursery and we will definitely use him in the future. We recommend him to anyone wallpapering a room.

We searched for a wallpaper installer Angie's List and found Gary's name. I called him and set up an appointment for an estimate. He gave an acceptable price and we hired him. He did the job in two days.

Gary was prompt, courteous, sealed the area for dust, and was meticulous in installing a difficult material. He hand-trimmed edges to reduce fraying. I am very happy with the result of my "tropical bathroom."
