"Sarah and her apprentice did a fantastic job installing our wallpaper. They were professional, friendly, personable, and very detail-oriented from start to finish. We had a very specific wallpaper that required expert installation, and they handled it beautifully. The pattern alignment and overall finish came out excellent, and you can tell they take real pride in their work. We would highly recommend Sarah and her apprentice to anyone looking for high-quality wallpaper installation. Five stars!"

"I needed exterior painting done at my house. I received a quote from 5 different companies. The others told me what they wouldn't do and then their high price. Berger's was the most reasonable. Steve was very patient and informative. He walked me through what the paint project entailed. There was stucco work that needed to be done prior to painting which they took care of fabulously. On a daily basis his guys came out every morning on time, cleaned up before leaving, and were very helpful in answering my questions as well as they were progressing through the project. They even did a few extra things that I had not asked them for in regards to painting. The project took one week to complete. Two days later I noticed there were a few spots that needed touch-up. The guys came back out right away to retouch. I am very pleased with the work they did. I would definitely hire them again and would definitely recommend them to others."

"We had an extremely positive experience and would definitely recommend Wayne and Respect Painting to others.  Wayne came to our house a few times before starting the project to give us estimates and help us pick colors.  He was there during the project and extremely friendly (as was the rest of his team).  He was always available for phone calls and/or e-mails and was very willing to work around our schedules.  Each evening, the house was clean and furniture was back where it belonged to the extent possible.  For such a large project, we were pleasantly surprised with how easy it was continuing out day-to-day activities around the house without any interruption.
Due to some previous work that was done very poorly by another contractor, Wayne's carpenter had the challenge of trying to make our trim consistent throughout the house, but it turned out great.  Wayne provided us an update each night and was very patient with us always waiting until the last minute to pick colors.  The actual work is beautiful - every seam is perfect and we can't see any imperfections on the walls.  Wayne seems to love his work and seemed genuinely interested in our project.
Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely work with Wayne and Respect Painting again.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

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.

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.

Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.
