"Tom was wonderful! His work is exceptional, our wallpaper is 19 years old and now looks like new again. He is professional, courteous and very personable, and was happy to work with our schedule to return to complete the work on a second visit. We are completely satisfied and highly recommend his work!"

"Dany was a pleasure to work with; his crew was very professional. Price was competitive and he does not cut corners (doors and hardware removed, clean, prime, sand, 2 coats of paint). Our kitchen cabinets look amazing. They took care to protect our home from dust and their work was meticulous. I would highly recommend this company!"

"Very honest, good worker, a perfectionist - I cannot say enough good about him! As well as wallpaper removal and painting, he was in charge of the contractors working on my property. I used him on many jobs I had as a designer. I have also spoken with other people who hired him and they were happy with him. Never any issue with him."

"The initial response to my Angie's list big deal was prompt.  Sid came to my house to give me an estimate.  Originally he was going to remove wallpaper in 3 bathrooms.  When he saw the areas he kept saying he would do as much as he could then the rest would be more money.  The work was scheduled for early September.  When I contacted Sid in Sept. he was having problems with his truck but he did come on Saturday of that week to do the work.  He started in the master bathroom.  After a little more than 3 hours I checked in.  I was amazed to find only about 2.5 or 3 strips removed.  Sid looked stressed and the room was a mess.  I told him to stop for the day and we could reschedule the remaining hour and he gave me an estimate of $200 to complete the bathroom.  This was not a large area.  I had some difficulty in contacting Sid to schedule the rest of the work and I had to call Angies's List before I got a response from him.  Eventually he came back and removed the rest of the wallpaper.  This time it went smoothly and it took about 5hours.  I then said I did not want anymore paper removed and paid him $200.  This was a frustrating and disappointing experience.

"We own a property management company and Brent is my go-to guy for all painting, tile, drywall and wall paper removal. He is just as happy with small jobs as with big ones. This job was repairing the drywall on the ceiling from a bathroom leak above. He did such a great job. He is super easy to communicate with. He does what he says he is going to do when he says he is going to do it. What more could you want? You can't even tell where the leak was when he was finished. Amazing!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.
