"⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!"

"James bailed us out and provided expert service. We had multiple contractors cancel on us last minute, but James was understanding of the challenges our space came with. He installed our custom wallpaper in one day, and stayed a bit longer than planned to also apply a layer of sealant to protect the wallpaper. We will definitely be having James back if we have any further wallpaper needs and highly recommend him to anyone else who needs this service."

"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 was impressed with his demeanor and would have had him to do all my wallpapering, however, I have a problem finding businesses that carries wallpaper now. However, if I do find the wallpaper I want, I certainly will call him for the job. I gave a 5 as I know that he would have done an excellent job as he also make suggestions of items to take care of while doing the wallpaper job."

"We had a wonderful experience using J.A. Wallcovering to install peel and stick wallpaper for our nursery. They scheduled us within a week of us reaching out, were professional, and completed the job very quickly. We had an issue installing peel and stick wallpaper after someone else we originally hired could not complete the job."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

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.

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. 

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.
