Customers say: True professional

"We recently hired Salazar’s Pensacola Painting to do the drywall and ceiling repairs after we had a whole house PEX re-pipe (new plumbing installed)…and also to re-finish (texture and paint) our entire ceiling in the kitchen and in a few other rooms. The owner, Cesar Salazar, and his crew came highly recommended and they didn’t disappoint as they did an absolutely amazing job on everything! It’s beautiful work with clean lines and looks pristine like a new house in these areas. They were careful to put plastic cover over everything before and cleaned up well afterwards. Also, their rates are reasonable and competitive, especially for the high quality of work they do and they are just very professional in every way! We are very happy and highly recommend this great company!"

"We received several quotes for this work and they were very reasonable. and had excellent reviews. I must agree with the reviews as the work was done on time, professionally, and extremely neat. Popcorn removal and finishing drywall is very dusty. They were able to contain it in the rooms and cleaned up afterwards to make it easy on us. Finally, it is very difficult to find subcontractors that show up on time and complete the project according to schedule. They were fantastic about this. We would definitely use their services again."

"Michael removed old siding, two different layers, one of which was very old, now a banned product and replaced the siding on my entire house. He also painted everything outside. The price was very fair and yes, I'd hire him again. He's actually worked on my new house too, and I moved 70 miles away from PCB! He's not just a contractor; he became my friend during the process!"

"They did fine. They came and gave me an estimate prior to doing the work. They worked on the weekends. They came and knocked out just under a half acre of the existing fence. They brought a small crew that morning and were done by dark. The project took two days total to complete."

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.

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.

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.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.
