"Jose and his team were phenomenal to work with. Super communicative during the whole process. I have an older home and he was able to install the wallpaper with ease. I would definitely recommend Jose and will be working with him again in the future."

"A and Z did wallpaper in my daughters room and did an amazing job. They were available the next day after I contacted them, brought all their own materials, and finished the job in under an hour. The wallpaper looks absolutely gorgeous you can’t see any seams and everything is beautiful!"

"I was introduced to Alfred through ServiceMagic; he was the first to call back, the first to come to give a quote, and I must say he was the most professional of all of those who did call back. He gave an extremely reasonable quote, and he began by saying, "I'm not done until you're completely satisfied". We've all heard that before, right? Well, Alfred meant it. We were moving into a foreclosure and the place was a mess. The paint on the walls was chipped and cracking, the floor, window, and door moulding were gutted and covered with nails and staples (don't even know why). We were considering replacing all the trim but Alfred said, "nah, I'll have my guys patch it.. it'll look good as new, and you'll save a lot" I have to tell you Alfred's team worked on those mouldings about 5 times, patching, sanding, painting-- until we were completely satisfied. When Alfred says he's not happy until you're happy-- he means it. The previous owner had also decided to do a lot of his own "home improvement". Well, as with many do-it-yourself-jobbers this wasn't really an improvement.. It was more like "home deprovement". They had laid tile over the hallway floor that was crooked and uneven; all the doors had been badly cut so not only did they not fit they had chips at all the edges. We got several quotes for the doors, but Alfred said, "since we're here, let me get my own guy to do it because otherwise it'll slow us down waiting for the other contractors." Alfred got a very seasoned carpentry pro to come in and replace all our doors at a lower cost than any quote we had gotten. He also had his crew peel of the tiles and (surprise) an extra layer of linoleum covering the floor. Since he knew we were planning to remodel the kitchen and bathroom he also helped us demo our existing kitchen and bathroom. The entire operation was flawless. The paint made the house look like new. And he was immaculate and attentive to every little detail of the job. Now, let me be clear-- I am a very critical person and there were some minor flaws in the carpentry-- during the summer it turns out the doors expanded and got a little sticky, and the trim, well, new is new and not new is not new. Everything looks great, though, and ultimately Alfred probably saved us about $400-$500 on the trim.. so in the end, he was definitely in the right. I would use Alfred again for any painting job. They were fast, professional, and attentive to our needs. Just make sure you communicate clearly and well; he definitely knows his stuff. And if you're unhappy, even about a little thing, make sure you voice it-- don't be shy. Alfred stands by his claim that he's not happy until you are. And as it was the middle of winter when I called him, he mentioned that he'd be back to paint our exterior door too during warmer weather. It has my pleasure to have hired him. And this way, my two little girls don't have to discover what paint chips taste like."

"We had the entirety of our new house painted inside and it came out BEAUTIFUL! The guys at Rainbow were all so friendly, communicative, and very clean. We were not living in the house when they were here, but they still had all of there stuff organized and cleaned up every night. Would highly recommend!"

"This was preparation of an estate house. There were lots of different colors, dark wood, and paneling that needed to be painted. After putting in the request for a painter Dale Harrington owner of Painter's Plus responded within half an hour (on a Sunday). By Tuesday his crew of 5 was on the job and 6 days later (including Saturday and a Sunday work) the entire house was completed exactly to the realtors specifications. The work ethic, work quality, and attention to detail was fantastic. Also Dale has years of experience in the business and his suggestions and explanations were extremely helpful. This is a great company!"

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

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.

Hanging wallpaper may seem simple, but in practice it requires significant planning and finesse to make it look professional. To start, you need to get an even application of wallpaper paste across all of your wallpaper, which requires experience and large pasting tables to get right. You also need to plan out your design and match it exactly so that you don’t have imperfections in the finished product. It’s often better to hire a professional wallpaper hanger who can get the job done properly for a clean, smooth finish.

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.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.

Yes, you can apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling, but it requires significant preparation for a good result. Peel-and-stick wallpaper has a weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper and works best on smooth, non-textured surfaces like painted or primed drywall. Because wood paneling is often textured with grooves, any flaws in the underlying surface will likely be visible after application. To prepare the paneling, you must ensure the surface is free of cracks, holes, and protrusions by filling any indentations and sanding rough spots to create a smooth surface. An alternative is to remove the paneling and apply the wallpaper directly to the underlying drywall or plaster, provided it is in good condition.
