"Hired Humberto to strip a ton of old wallpaper and repaint our place in Tahoe. Two full floors, probably 2000 sq ft worth of walls. Wallpaper was everywhere and honestly I wasn’t sure what we were going to find underneath it, but his crew handled the whole thing: removal, sealing, knockdown texture, primer, two coats of paint by hand. Communication was great from the start. He called me the same day he sent the estimate and walked through his whole process which I appreciated since we were managing the project remotely. Humberto sent photos every single day as they went which was huge since we couldn’t be there during the work. Him and his crew were there every day and they finished right when they said they would. House looked great when we showed up for memorial day weekend. Clean work, no mess left behind. I would absolutely use Humberto again. He's my go-to paint guy in Tahoe now."

"This husband and wife team were top notch! They were always "positive" to all of my requests concerning the painting of the exterior portion of my house. We are very happy with the ways the colors came out for the house. They were very reasonable in the cost of doing the painting job. Would definitely hire them again!"

"I had a great experience with B.E.S. Painting. I had a relatively small project and was turned down by many painting companies due to full schedules. But when I reached out to Brian, he willingly accommodated my small office job. Brian worked within my budget to provide a thorough and quality paint job. His associate LJ even set up a chair that had been delivered while he finished up painting. He went above and beyond. My office looks just as I imagined and had hoped for. I recommend B.E.S. Painting for projects large and small."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

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.

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.
