"Rocky did a pretty good job of removing the wallpaper from 3 bathrooms. However, he did leave some paper and glue on the walls so I had to go back and scrape this away as I had a painter coming to finish the walls. He also didn't cover up the mirrors, lighting fixtures or floors, so it took me a very long time to clean this sticky mess up. The light bar fixtures may have to be replaced because the liquid used to remove the paper left etching marks and cannot be removed."

"This is not the first time we have used The Paint Doctor. They painted the exterior of our house and also the first floor interior with two story high ceilings, so we knew we would be happy with their work. This job was a bit different. Before painting, the wallpaper in our kitchen had to be removed. It had been up for 25 years and did not want to come off. Jesse, our painter worked diligently, and got the paper off, textured and painted the walls and it looks great. Jesse did a professional job and was fun to work with. We were really impressed by the quality of work and the results and would not hesitate to have the Paint Doctor, and specifically, Jesse, handle any future painting projects. Prior to this job, we got several estimates, and the Paint Doctor beat them all."

"Mostly very well. The outside of the house was done in a timely fashion once the crew got started. It turned out very nice. The kitchen had some hiccups due to paint color and sheen matching. All in all, Mike worked well with me in getting the job done, and it also turned out well."

"Nathan did a fantastic job. He has a great attention to detail and not only identifies imperfections that can affect the overall quality of the finished product, but looks for cost effective remedies. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and the results were fantastic. Nathan has completed other carpentry projects for us and we have always been very happy with his work."

"El Toro did a spectacular job for us. Our house is fairly large (7,000 sq. ft.) and they painted every single room including the garage. I am extremely particular about work done on my home and these guys met and exceeded my expectations. Gustavo keeps a very close eye on his crews but in this case that probably wasn't necessary because the crew and their foreman, Lupe, worked extremely hard and took exceptional care of our belongings. We took every picture off the walls along with all the switch and outlet plates and they didn't lose or misplace anything. I will absolutely hire El Toro for any of my future painting or construction needs and will recommend them to any friends or family needing work done...thank you El Toro!!!"

"Perfect. Greg ordered the matching siding that was not commonly stocked and then called promptly when it came in. His team spent hours two stories up replacing siding and went the extra mile by fashioning water diverters from the wall into the gutter (which would have prevented the problem in the first place if the builder had taken that step 28 years ago). When additional rot was exposed Greg's team replaced those boards, caulked, and painted the replacement boards in one afternoon. His team cleaned up everything prior to departing."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

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.

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.

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.
