Customers say: True professional

"Frank did a fantastic job wallpapering & painting my front entryway and staircase. The space has tricky walls, with odd shapes and dimensions, but Frank was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the process, from helping me figure out how many rolls of wallpaper to order, to laying out the wallpaper so that every weird angle appeared to join up seamlessly. He was professional throughout the process and easy to work with. Would recommend!"

"They painted our house beautifully. We thought our house would be a challenge because it's a two storied house surrounded by sloping land in some areas; not a problem for them . . . they were amazing!"

"The power wash and clean-up were both very perfunctory. Many garden plants are speckled with paint. That said, the price was very reasonable and the house has been painted. Considering the hasty prep that was done, I only hope the paint job lasts a few years.

"Painting our house with a fireproof coating and topcoat required specific experience, applying the FireFree 88 undercoating to a measured 30 mils wet thickness. We were referred to Jorge Osorio, Four Season Painting, as having done this before. All references were very enthusiastic, and the results bear this out. Despite difficult weather and smoke from the California fires, Jorge and his crew came from quite a distance and were here on time early each day. They all worked diligently until late, and cleaned up completely when they were done for the day. They painted our house, a deck, a detached garage, a large trellis and two outbuildings, gving excellent attention to power washing, masking, choice of paint, applying the four coats, and careful final touchup. Nothing was rushed, and they did not take any shortcuts. When unexpected requirements came up, they cheerfully took them on. Jorge and his crew struck us as capable, experienced, hard-working, honest and cheerful. We would definitely use Four Seasons again, and highly recommend them for any painting of this nature. We are extremely pleased with the final results."

"Jerry has painted the exterior of our 3100 Sq Ft house and has painted the eves of a 1 story rental house in Sunnyvale. In both cases, his pricing was fair. He showed up to do the work when he said he would (he's often early). In both cases, he finished early. His work is very thorough, and he does a great job doing simple touches like exterior patching."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

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. 

Ideally, you want to ask the wallpaper installers you’re considering for examples of past work, and references you can call. These will prove that the installer can handle your job, make your room look professional, and will also give you some insight into the kind of customer service you can expect. Before you start calling companies, you might want to narrow down your options by finding installers with mostly positive reviews online.

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. 

Having dated, peeling, or otherwise damaged wallpaper can decrease the value of your property, so removing that before listing your house is nearly always a good idea; however, since wallpaper tends to be a personal style choice, potential buyers may or may not love your aesthetic as much as you do.

Love the look of wallpaper but want to consider property value as well? Stick with something that is easy to change. If you are thinking of selling soon, make sure your wallpaper hanging is on-point and looks professional with no crooked seams, evenly matched patterns, and minimal bubbling or other imperfections.

Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it’s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You’ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.
