Name: Ma Williams Manaufactured Homes

I am doing a business venture and I think Tony is the one I want to work with. I've been to 3 other places and Tony has been the only one to follow up with me and show compassion to what I want to do. I plan to go see Tony sometime next week.

The service provided by Ma Williams was fantastic! I would recommend this sales center.

Tammy B. – Winchester, Ca
My salesperson Tony at Ma Williams was very informative. He mentioned to me that he may need help finding land. The sales center was very nice. I left with the necessary information I was looking for.

Henry L. – Hemet, Ca
Lavon was great and explained everything about the process to us. It was a good experience.

John B. – Barstow, CA
I loved your homes very much. Also, I loved Lavon. She was so friendly and helpful. I'd love to have purchased a home from her. With all my dogs and cats, I needed something quickly.

Tired of eggshell white on your walls? Then perhaps it’s time to consider something more eye-catching.

You could repaint, of course, this time with a more vibrant color, or opt for wallpaper instead.

Tough decision? Here are some guidelines that might help you make the right choice.

When to Paint

What kind of room are we talking about? Is it one that’s already eye-catching because of the floor covering or furnishings, with lots of colors and textures blended for maximum impact? If so, patterned wallpaper might be overkill.

Want to get the job done faster? Painting takes less preparation time than wallpaper.

Looking to save money? While wallpaper is available in a wide range of prices, getting something that looks great and will last a long time will likely cost more than a few gallons of paint. You’ll also need to purchase more additional supplies if you’re hanging the paper yourself.

Is the room in question a bathroom or kitchen? If so, it’s possible that areas with a lot of moisture from sinks or showers could cause wallpaper to peel. Go with paint.

When to Paper

Want to go bold? Wallpaper comes in thousands of patterns and color combinations. You may have to search through a lot of those oversized books but eventually you’re bound to find the perfect solution to create a vivacious living space.

Looking to create a more tranquil space? The right wallpaper can actually do that too. A larger room can appear more intimate and cozy with darker paper.

Do you have lots of kids (or messy adults)? Wallpaper is more durable than paint, and it’s easier to clean. Dirty spots are easily wiped off – try that with some paints and it might leave a shiny spot behind.
