"⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 can't say enough. I'm so glad I found somebody like Danny to repair my drywall. He was professional, skilled and very efficient. His work was perfect and he paid great attention to detail for a beyond reasonable price. He worked steadily on the job until finished (didn't leave for other work). I had a serious flood that resulted in removing walls in my home. He did an excellent job in completing the restoration and met the money allocation of my insurance adjuster. Besides the insurance work, he kindly completed numerous other small jobs for me (E.G. effectively addressing mildew on bathroom ceiling, removing and replacing broken light covers, hanging broken curtain rod, replacing angle stops, removing smoke alarms and patching, removing old thermostats and patching, sanding and resurfacing and preparing for painting for a bathroom not affected by the flood,.. and more), all for the fee of the parts. I highly recommend him!"

"The person who came to provide a quote was very professional and answered our questions. The 4 workers showed up on time. The job was suppose to take 2-3 day only took one and a half day to complete. They basically power-wash and started painting right the way. The fixtures was well taped up to protect them since they used spray paint on the stucco exterior. We did noticed the wood parts underneath the roof did not get proper preparation - old paint chips were just painted over without removing them first, other hidden parts looked like they weren't even touched. In addition, the top of the patio cover was left unpainted. We only just noticed that now when we have the occasion to climb up to fix something unrelated. The clean up was marginal, debris were left on the driveway and walkway. There were quite a few print marks left on the window frames. Lastly, they did not remove the plastic sheets put on our solar panels for protection. We had to call them back a few day later when our neighbours noticed the plastic sheets were still on the panels. The price was the least expensive compared to the other quotes we got, but I suppose you get what you pay for."

"I called The Painting Company to paint all walls, plus the kitchen cabinets, in a 3 bedroom townhouse we were putting up for sale.  Nile came to the property within a day, provided a very reasonable quote within 24 hours, and had workers available within two days.  He assembled a large crew to finish the job quickly.  They did a fantastic job of removing nails and screws from the walls and patching the holes, removing all electrical outlet and switch plates and preparing the area to ensure no paint ended up on the new hardwood floors.  Nile's team finished the work done in three days with PERFECT results.
I would definitely use The Painting Company again and would highly recommend Nile and his crew.

"We had a wonderful experience using J.A. Wallcovering to install peel and stick wallpaper for our nursery. They scheduled us within a week of us reaching out, were professional, and completed the job very quickly. We had an issue installing peel and stick wallpaper after someone else we originally hired could not complete the job."

"Wayne and his crew are great to work with. They patched and painted interior doors and walls, as well as a 3D wall. They also painted our decks, railings, awnings and trim. We are very pleased with the attention to detail."

"After learning that our popcorn ceiling had asbestos, we reviewed all of our options. Chris provided us with the option of "putty coating" the ceiling. When I met with him to get a quote I had a lot of questions about it. He was able to answer all of my questions and make me feel like it was a viable option compared to the costly removal of asbestos. He was on time every time I met with him and was able to get started the day after he gave me the quote. He finished the work on time and it looked amazing. There were a few spots where it had started to crack. When I called Chris he came out the next business day (again on time) and fixed them promptly. It's clear that they take pride in their work. I would definitely hire them again."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.
