"John was accommodating and generous even offering to do two repairs gratis. His workers were prompt and pleasant. Removing popcorn ceiling can be messy, but this time it wasn t at all no dust they cleaned up beautifully at the end of both days of removal and thorough cleaning after painting when the job was complete. I highly recommend John."

"Larry Taylor is an excellent painter. He did a beautiful job painting my kitchen, including walls, ceiling, moldings (ceiling and floor) and 4 doors. He was always on time, professional, friendly and polite. He is meticulous, very precise - he did not cut corners. He is also very neat - there was nothing to clean when he was done each day. His price was competitive and fair. I recommend Larry without hesitation and will ask him back for future projects."

"Gilson did a great job and was a pleasure to work with. The house is framed inside with antique barn beams, and he was careful not to get paint on any of them. Reaching the highest point of the cathedral ceiling while avoiding the beams was also a challenge. The wallpaper had been poorly applied so that removal was difficult and time-consuming, but he warned us up front that removal might take extra time. The house looks wonderful.

"I highly recommend Peter Smith Painting for exterior house painting based on the recent (June, 2022) outstanding work they did painting our wood shingle house. In addition to the painting they also did a significant amount of carpentry prep work. I have to say that I was totally impressed with everyone on both the carpentry & the painting teams. They were all extremely professional craftsmen and did meticulous work with outstanding attention to detail. Peter was also directly involved in managing the work with regular site visits & he was extremely responsive to each of my text message change requests. Importantly, the work was started & completed on the precise schedule that Peter had committed to - despite some weather challenges. The outstanding quality of all the work further emphasized how very appropriate the pricing for the project was. My wife & I are so pleased with the results that we are already planning on using Peter Smith Painting for our interior painting project in the coming months."

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.

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. 

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.

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

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.
