"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

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

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 adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.
