"I must say, painting is all about the quality of the prep. My 1999 built house had tons of tape and nail pops. These guys removed the old tape, re taped and speckled and sanded and then painted. Sometimes it needed 3 coats. No extra charge was paid, and my house has never looked better than now! Highly recommend!"

"We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Francisco and his crew are friendly, honest and easy to work with. They did an impeccable job of removing wallpaper, meticulously prepping walls and painting most of the rooms in our house. Francisco and his team show up on time and work quickly. They were also very accommodating with adding on a few extra walls and areas that needed attention. I will absolutely use them again. We could not be happier with the quality of New Era Pro Painters work. I cannot recommend this company highly enough!"

"We hired LHI twice to remove wallpaper, different painters came each time. The first painters were extremely fast and efficient. The second painters had a lot of difficulty removing the wallpaper because there were multiple laters of wallpaper. Both times the painters were very punctual, clean and professional."

"I canâ t say enough good things about my experience with Luxe Walls. Beth and Carl are an absolute delight. I had dreaded the very unpleasant, messy task of wallpaper removal in a stairwell and foyer but they made it a joy. They repaired and repainting those areas along with several other rooms, doors and trim. It couldnâ t have gone better. They were meticulous, respectful of the surrounding areas and so good at their job. It was an pleasure having them in my home. Everything went smoothly, no hiccups and was exactly as they projected,both in their estimate of price and length of time. Beth was awesome in guiding me through the difficulty of picking paint colors. Her patience was much appreciated. I canâ t recommend them highly enough. I am so pleased with the beautiful results. I have never been so calm and comfortable while having work done in my home as I was during this process with the Luxe Walls. I canâ t wait to find a new project so I can have them back."

"HHI Painting was a pleasure to do business with. Professional services for very reasonable prices. His bid for my jobs were better than 5 other companies. He and his team showed up as agreed, got the job done well and cleaned up after themselves. Owner is dedicated to satisfying the customer. I have contracted with them twice and will definitely use them again in the near future. I am well pleased with them and I am confident you will be also..."

"It went great. It was easy to schedule time for Larry to take a look. He came very quickly, emailed a quote with our options for repair. I really like that Larry provided a written quote with the options explained. Also happy he uses email to communicate so we can avoid the whole "phone tag" issue I've had with many other contractors. On the scheduled day, he and his partner arrived very promptly and got right to work. He cut out the damaged part of the ceiling and patched in a new part. The work looks GREAT! I couldn't have asked for a better job done. Thanks guys!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

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.

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.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

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