"They arrived exactly on time for the estimate and the removal. The price for the wallpaper removal and drywall repair was very reasonable. They completed the job cleanly and quickly, including removing and then reinstalling medicine cabinets and a large mirror. They even repaired damage to the drywall that I had done when I tried to remove the drywall myself. I will have them back to do some other ceiling and drywall repair in my home. I recommend them highly!"

"Kevin did a PHENOMENAL job of installing natural stone tile backsplash in my kitchen. He also closed a soffit in my kitchen. He is very professional and his prices are reasonable. He is scheduled to paint the kitchen and the dining room. If the paint job turns out like the backsplash did, it is going to be beautiful! I highly recommend Kevin to anyone in need of drywall and or kitchen backsplash installation!"

"I could not ask for a more beautiful job. I had just short of two rolls of wallpaper and that's all the store had as it was on clearance. This made a very expensive paper affordable but it meant that in order to do the job there could be almost no waste. My intention was to have the lower half of the foyer wainscotted but my contractor jumped ship so Ron Couch jumped in and was able to make the wallpaper stretch. The pattern is expertly matched and it looks like a million bucks. Terrific job!"

"He showed up when he said he would and used only his own employees. He did not sub anything out. He put in a full day's work and everyone was friendly. It was obvious they took pride in their work by the quality of the painting. He told me it would only take 4 days to complete but finished in 3. He would suggest changes that he felt would make the house look better. I agreed with his suggestions and it turned out better than what it would have. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.
