"⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of working with the mother-daughter wallpapering team at Marie’s WallPaper, for two challenging bathroom installs, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment they arrived, their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. They provided everything they needed to hang my wallpaper, tackling both jobs seamlessly and completing everything in a timely manner, which was impressive given the complexity of the projects. Who really wants to wallpaper? Not me! But thanks to their expertise, my bathroom remodel dreams have come true. They approached each task with enthusiasm and skill, proving that no job is too small or too big for this dynamic duo. They truly are a power team! I can't wait for my next project with them and would highly recommend Marie’s WallPaper to anyone looking for quality and reliability in wallpapering. Thank you, Marie and Sarah for transforming my spaces!"

"The crew and owner showed up on the scheduled Monday and we went over the details for the exterior painting or our house. Then the house was power washed and trenches were dug and patching of the stucco completed. It was a cool day, so they worked till noon then left to let the patching dry. Tuesday the crew showed up on time again, sanded and began the painting of the stucco. There was a discrepancy on the type of paint for the job, so we contacted Marty (the owner) and he took back the paint and got the better paint recommended by the paint store for out west-facing house. Wed and Thurs...sanding and painting trim. Friday, I went over our "punch list" with Marty and the crew and they finished up the out-buildings, patio cover, large sliding door, touch up spots and our front door...which needed four coats of paint. The crew left at noon after cleaning and sweeping and Marty came in the afternoon (per our request) to go over the job and receive payment. Excellent job! We have already handed out all the business cards to neighbors who stopped by to admire the work!

"We removed, demolished and redesigned the kitchen at our house. The work started with a team of excellent people who came over and removed everything from the kitchen till it was with drywall only. Nir than brought his flooring people, electrician, plumber and painter to work on all the other items at the kitchen. During the work, all the cabinets arrived and got installed the week after the other workers finished their tasks. When the cabinets were installed… the plumber and electrician came to install all the finish materials and the painters took cate of all the custom style paint job. Nir was very professional during the work. He made sure to keep us in the loop on a daily and weekly basis regarding the progress of the work. His design of the new kitchen was very accurate and the final kitchen reflect that very well. We are so pleased with the new kitchen and we use it on a daily basis enjoying each and every part of it. All of the work done on this project were completed with excellent customer care and consideration."

"We highly recommend Brightview Painting. They took over after we let our original painter go due to his poor workmanship. Brightview corrected all the problems the previous painter caused that could be corrected. They did extensive prep work, including sealing/caulking where necessary. They re-repaired stucco that the previous painter had tried to repair and then used certain painting techniques to make the area look much, much better. They went above and beyond, obtaining multiple paint samples when we couldn’t decide on the color and painting those samples on the house for us. And when there were a few glitches (there always are even with the best contractors) they took care of them promptly and cheerfully. They stand behind their work. Their goal is to make their customers happy, and it shows. It was such a pleasure working with Edgar and his crew!"

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

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

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.
