"Don was very professional and courteous. He showed up on time for price quote and job. Put two coats of paint on ways and painted trim and moulding. He was very clean and did not leave any paint spots on the floor or furniture. I was extremely pleased. I forgot to mention that I got his information from Angie's List which is probably why I didn't get a cheaper price but that was on me. I do plan to use Spectrum again.

"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

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.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

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. 

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

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.
