"Joshua is great! I purchased the toilets at Home Depot and arranged for Joshua to pick them up. Well HD Lancaster location only had two of the HE toilets that I wanted, so the 3rd toilet was picked up in the HD Palmdale store. Joshua did all this with pleasure. He was on time, work was completed superbly and cleanup was on point. I will always call on Joshua for my Handyman needs..."

"The VERY BEST work I have ever had done by any company or individual since we first moved to Sonoma County over 32 years ago. Benny Rangel and his fabulous crew painted the outside of our home, replaced a fence, removed and replaced a rotting wooden support beam, power washed our house and deck. Benny came over the very first day I called him, got detailed estimates to me immediately, then he and his crew began work right away. Benny was at our house every day, and always pitched in if his advice or assistance was requested. He kept me apprised of every decision regarding paint and/or wood, and answered any question I had right away. His crew worked everyday, all day, AND cleaned up at the end of every day! We, our neighbors and friends think our house looks brand new. Our next door neighbor has already hired him, as did several individuals who asked for my opinion of his work, which is: Benny Rangel and his crew at Northcal Luxury Painting are the BEST at EVERYTHING they do. Regardless of what you need done, call Northcal Luxury Painting FIRST!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

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.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.
