"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

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. 

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.
