"We contracted Peter and Leza Galli to paint our condo from ceiling to base boards. They painted 19 doors inside and out, our closets, ceiling walls and crown molding. The previous owners paint job was horrible. The paint was hunter green crown molding, canary yellow and bright red walls and a dark brown on one accent wall. Peter and Leza were able to bring the walls back after blocking the previous color. The Hunter Green crown molding was my concern. Much to my surprise, Peter made it gloss white again. We were very happy."

"Joe and his team are phenomenal! The best thing I like about Joe and his team is the communication. When you need to know something even if it's not a big deal or doesn't have additional cost it's communicated to you. Joe's team worked diligently throughout the process and were flexible with my needs and wants. To find a patient contractor that is willing to accommodate is something of an old school feel. That's what I got from his team. Joe was out to make the best looking, longest lasting, affordable situation for me. I got what I think was the best fix in the business and it didn't cost me what others quoted me for doing less."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.

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.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.
