"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

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in.
