"I obtained 3 quotes for painting in my house which included removing old wallpaper in one room before painting and included included a bedroom, bath and hallway. Affordable Weaver is truly affordable. Their cost estimate was 40% less than the other 2 quotes. The team of 4 arrived promptly at 7:30 am and finished the job in 1 day. Very neat and clean with no paint drippings on my wood baseboards or floor. The owners are a pleasure to deal with and the painting crew took time to understand what color paint I needed in each room. Highly recommend!"

"Outstanding!!! Excellent workmanship. We hired them to paint the interior of our new house and we couldn’t have asked for a better quality of work. They painted the entire first and second flour except for the basement where the floors were not finished yet so we scheduled the painting of the basement for next month. They also did wallpaper removal in the powder and laundry rooms and we were amazed by the final result. The walls were in pretty bad shape under that old wallpaper but they worked on them with spackle and sanding then painted them and the final texture was so smooth and neat, nobody would have guessed there was wallpaper before. I honestly think they are the best."

"I was given Larry’s name by a family friend to quote re-doing my living room and bedroom ceiling. Larry was quick to get back to my phone call as well as begin the work. His quote was fair, better than two others I had received! Larry worked quickly and did an amazing job. He kept me informed throughout the entire job and was so easy to talk to. After meeting him, I trusted him to be in my home alone, using a lock box, which allowed for him to come on his schedule without me having to be there. Larry did a wonderful job, going above and beyond to touch up some imperfections on my walls as well. I would 100% recommend Larry to anyone looking for drywall/Sheetrock work done! Thanks again Larry!"

"I hired Dominic's Painting to paint the entire exterior of my old (1700's) colonial home in the Summer of 2017. This was a very big project and they did such a fantastic job that I hired them once again to paint (and wallpaper) the interior of my house in late 2017. I was totally satisfied with all the work that they did. They were punctual, hardworking and very professional at all times. I had gotten several other job estimates before hiring them and their price was the most reasonable for the work. John is a pleasure to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone who needs either interior or exterior paining done. I particularly recommend them for the difficult job of painting an old home. My home needed a lot of plastering and special care and nothing was a problem for them. They went above and beyond my expectations-always ready to do anything that was needed. Check this company out before you hire anyone else!"

"The work was honestly great. Antonio gave a fair estimate. He arrived on time and finished when he said he would. He ended up doing additional drywall work on my older home and was respectful of the architecture. He was careful of my possessions and was very neat. I would have him back for any painting and drywall projects."

"Job went great. Very courteous and professional workers. Did some minor damage to the newly refinished floors, but came back and repaired it as well as doing some minor touch up work on the walls without any hassle. These guys were a real pleasure to work with. We were back and forth about whether or not to remove the built in wardrobe, and when we finally decided to have them take it out, they did it at no extra charge to the original estimate. Woud definitely use them again."

"Let me start by saying that my husband is the one who did the walk-through estimate with Joe. I wasn't there and I can't verify that my husband explained exactly what we were looking for. But I was under the impression that the wallpaper would be sealed and the walls repaired so that when they were painted over, you wouldn't be able to tell there was wallpaper in the first place. We got an estimate from another company and they were planning on skimming the walls several times to create the smooth surface. I was under the impression that this was what Joe and his guys were doing, too.
I was wrong.
When the office was completed you could see the stripes where the pieces of wallpaper met. I was very unhappy with this and told Joe. To his credit, he immediately offered to fix the walls. His guys skimmed over the seams and repainted. The result, though was that now there are bands of a different texture, so it's still noticeable. 
If you're not looking too closely, the rooms look great. But when you pay attention to the details, you see things like where the guys painted over chips in the window sill, instead of sanding them out or filling them or whatever. There's a very noticeable wallpaper seam in the bedroom. Some of the edging is uneven. When they cleaned on the final day, the guys left drips of charcoal paint on the bathroom threshold. These are things I expect when WE paint our house, not when we pay someone a big ol' chunk of money to paint it.
That said, I would work with this company again. The paint crew guys were super professional and polite. We couldn't be there every day and we felt secure leaving them in our house. One of the guys even walked our dog one day because he was antsy. That goes above and beyond. We tipped them well.
Joe installed the molding himself, and he did a beautiful job. We had the ceiling painted charcoal and brought the color down about five inches on the wall. Then there's the molding, and then the lavender color we used on the walls. It's really quite stunning.
I'd love to give the company an A, but I do feel like there was some attention to detail lacking. I will make sure that the next time I hire them or any other painter I have every little thing spelled out in the estimate, so there's no room for interpretation.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

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.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.
