"⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!"

"I needed exterior painting done at my house. I received a quote from 5 different companies. The others told me what they wouldn't do and then their high price. Berger's was the most reasonable. Steve was very patient and informative. He walked me through what the paint project entailed. There was stucco work that needed to be done prior to painting which they took care of fabulously. On a daily basis his guys came out every morning on time, cleaned up before leaving, and were very helpful in answering my questions as well as they were progressing through the project. They even did a few extra things that I had not asked them for in regards to painting. The project took one week to complete. Two days later I noticed there were a few spots that needed touch-up. The guys came back out right away to retouch. I am very pleased with the work they did. I would definitely hire them again and would definitely recommend them to others."

"We had an extremely positive experience and would definitely recommend Wayne and Respect Painting to others.  Wayne came to our house a few times before starting the project to give us estimates and help us pick colors.  He was there during the project and extremely friendly (as was the rest of his team).  He was always available for phone calls and/or e-mails and was very willing to work around our schedules.  Each evening, the house was clean and furniture was back where it belonged to the extent possible.  For such a large project, we were pleasantly surprised with how easy it was continuing out day-to-day activities around the house without any interruption.
Due to some previous work that was done very poorly by another contractor, Wayne's carpenter had the challenge of trying to make our trim consistent throughout the house, but it turned out great.  Wayne provided us an update each night and was very patient with us always waiting until the last minute to pick colors.  The actual work is beautiful - every seam is perfect and we can't see any imperfections on the walls.  Wayne seems to love his work and seemed genuinely interested in our project.
Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely work with Wayne and Respect Painting 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."

"Since I had used this company for a previous painting job, I was pleased to use them again.  Their work is excellent.  Everything was done in a professional manner.  The owner  and his staff are very personable, prompt, and efficient.  The owner is also very good at helping to choose the correct color shade for the ambiance and light conditions in the room.  I will certainly use the company again and recommend them highly."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.

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.

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.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.
