"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 FAQs, answered by experts

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 many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.
