"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."

"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."

"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

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

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.

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

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.
