"Joe comes to give an estimate immediately. His work is excellent. He also had ideas to make my ideas even better. He is thorough and very professional. His motto is, "No problem." These jobs took time because they were really large, complicated and widespread throughout all three houses. He cleans up each day. I know I'll call him again when I need anything painted or power washed at my house."

"We just had our entire home painted by Art Work Painting (approx. 4000 sq ft). We could not be happier. The process was fantastic from beginning to end, from estimate to completion and the price was reasonable. The owner, Sergio, was there on time for our quote appt and gave me his quote right then and there. No one else I got estimates from did that. His crew was fantastic! They were here bright and early every day until the project was done (with Sundays off of course). They cleaned up everyday and put everything back the way they found it. I honestly can't say enough good things about Art Work Painting. I would hire them again and have already recommended them to some of my real estate clients!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.

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.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.
