Ask around Pawtucket, Rhode Island for someone to hang or strip wallpaper, and the name that keeps surfacing in Deossa Wall Paper and Paint's own client reviews is "Gus." Angi and HomeAdvisor both list the company with 16 years of experience and a Rhode Island contractor licence, GC-48308 — a directory-listed number, not one confirmed against the state registry. Ten reviews on file, split across Angi and HomeAdvisor, run from 2019 through 2022, and every one of them is five stars. In a 2019 review, a homeowner described hiring Gustavo to strip wallpaper and repaint a galley kitchen and kitchenette, calling the work timely and efficient. A 2021 review credited him with a custom wallpaper install finished within days of the first call, done on time and professionally. A 2022 review even calls out plain paint work — "Gus and his crew painted several walls" — alongside a fix for a crack above a shower, suggesting the crew handles small painting jobs as well as paper. The written record hasn't picked up anything newer since 2022, so there's no recent word-of-mouth confirming the shop still runs the same way today, and the licence number on Angi and HomeAdvisor is their claim rather than a state-confirmed one — both worth asking Gus about directly before booking. For a homeowner staring down old wallpaper that needs to come down or go up, the pattern across these years points to a hands-on owner-operator who shows up on time and leaves the room clean; just confirm current availability and licensing before signing anything.

Gus and his crew painted several walls, they did a very good job
They were very quick but careful. We even had them fix a crack above our shower.
Gus did a phenomenal job! I will be reaching out to him as soon as we have more projects! I highly recommend Gus- very professional, kind and detail oriented.
Very good with explaining what they needed to do and why... Very polite and respectful!!! I would certainly hire them again!!!
VERY great job done by Gus. He was able to come out and install our wallpaper within a few days of me calling him. He was on time, very professional, and did an AMAZING job on our custom wallpaper. I will definitely be hiring him for future jobs and we are thrilled with his work.
