"Sarah and her apprentice did a fantastic job installing our wallpaper. They were professional, friendly, personable, and very detail-oriented from start to finish. We had a very specific wallpaper that required expert installation, and they handled it beautifully. The pattern alignment and overall finish came out excellent, and you can tell they take real pride in their work. We would highly recommend Sarah and her apprentice to anyone looking for high-quality wallpaper installation. Five stars!"

"The painters were here on schedule every day. They covered everything to avoid getting paint where it wasn't supposed to be. They removed pictures from the walls and moved furniture out of the way, and put everything back in its place when done. Their painting was meticulous and the finished work is beautiful. The price was reasonable and we would definitely hire them again."

"I highly recommend GK Painting. We asked Gary to paint the entire townhouse: walls, ceilings, trim, closets, and doors - and we are thrilled with the results. We were sold when Gary first bid the job. He didn't simply give a cost estimate. He discussed colors, type of paint, and the way a few strategic accent walls could create a new look. His consultation helped us find a good color match with the existing floors and cabinets (which we didn't want to change). He also worked extra hard to complete the project while we were away on vacation. Coming back to a brand new space was a real treat. Gary's team did terrific detailed work. There were two pieces of art that had been painted on the wall that we wanted to keep. We didn't expect Gary's team to get right up to the edge of those pieces - but they did, and the result was perfect. All the edging was great. At the end of the project, everything was cleaned up and the result was exactly what we wanted. The entire interaction was a professional, quality experience and a great value for the money we spent. We are so satisfied, we plan on doing additional projects with GK Painting in the future."

"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."

"The project started with a drab 1950's bathroom and the results were beyond my wildest dreams. Jacob and his crew were just awesome. Showed up on time and worked 8-12 hours everyday. When the bathroom was complete we were so pleased we continued on. Removed all the old carpet and tile and then demoed kitchen. I am so happy with the results My house went from Drab to FABULOUS!! The cabinet maker is AKA the Picasso of woodworking. All the cabinets are slow close as are the drawers. Custom made to my request. Jacob is also an amazing designer, will go with you to choose top quality tile and granite. So very happy with the final results. Thank you for making my dreams a reality!!"

"Perfect!!! We originally d to repaint the whole house. Since that was out of our budget, we asked Tony to touch up our walls. When he finished, it looked like we had brand-new walls!!! Although it's the same beige color we already had, they look spectacular!!! He did the whole house in about 6hrs."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.

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.

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.
