"⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!"

"The painters were here on schedule every day. They covered everything to avoid getting paint where it wasn't supposed to be. They removed pictures from the walls and moved furniture out of the way, and put everything back in its place when done. Their painting was meticulous and the finished work is beautiful. The price was reasonable and we would definitely hire them again."

"Steve was very communicative with us throughout the whole project from the initial estimate and up to the end. We solicited a few bids from various highly-rated, bonded painters for the work and Steve's quote was one of the lower ones (including the higher price of using high quality benjamin moore paint), plus he had the best bedside manner. He was cooperative and reasonable with us on our minor change orders that came up during the process and we're very pleased with the result. We would definitely use him again."

"Outstanding, professional, and timely work done by Reynaldo Perez and his team. Easy communication throughout the project, and excellent expert recommendations by Reynaldo. He accommodated a special request for Lime Wash painting of the bedroom, which turned out fantastic. He is not satisfied with the job until you are satisfied with the job. Wonderful experience with his team, and I am loving how my home looks after his work. Strongly recommend to anyone!!"

"We removed, demolished and redesigned the kitchen at our house. The work started with a team of excellent people who came over and removed everything from the kitchen till it was with drywall only. Nir than brought his flooring people, electrician, plumber and painter to work on all the other items at the kitchen. During the work, all the cabinets arrived and got installed the week after the other workers finished their tasks. When the cabinets were installed… the plumber and electrician came to install all the finish materials and the painters took cate of all the custom style paint job. Nir was very professional during the work. He made sure to keep us in the loop on a daily and weekly basis regarding the progress of the work. His design of the new kitchen was very accurate and the final kitchen reflect that very well. We are so pleased with the new kitchen and we use it on a daily basis enjoying each and every part of it. All of the work done on this project were completed with excellent customer care and consideration."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

The cost varies from $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the type of wallpaper, the wall condition, and the labor involved.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

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.

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.
