"Frank did an excellent job installing the wallpaper in our nursery! He had to re-finish the wall smooth first to give the best visual appearance for the wallpaper. He was very responsive in discussing and scheduling the job, and very open and helpful in reviewing project scope and options. He looked for the best solution for our job. His install was great, looks amazing, and he also put in extra effort to work around a fuse box in the wall. Great work and experience, highly recommended!"

"Guys did a great job as promised.  Took advantage of a $999 special; an additional $300 for extra exterior door painting.  Approximately $1000 in paint necessary but we chose top quality paint in lieu of having Better Choice select paint.  House was power washed and some trim replaced prior to painting.  Some delays due to the high temperatures we experienced that pushed out the job a couple of times.

"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!"

"I was very pleased with the work that they did.  It was completed promptly and was very professional.  There was a problem with the wind when they were spraying the paint (even knocked over a ladder) so they had to stop early one day, but they made up the time on the Saturday at the end of the project.  Everything was very neat and attention was paid to some very old and therefore fragile plants.  They were very willing to take care of some details that were important to me.  The crew was very friendly.  I would recommend A-1 Painting to friends.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.
