"Outstanding quality of work! Thomas was able to accommodate our schedule to quickly repair drywall so we could complete an electrical panel installation. Thomas was professional, courteous, showed up on time, and was respectful of us having to work from home that day. He also went out and picked up some spray insulation to help protect the electrical panel and new drywall. Definitely recommend hiring!"

"Excellent work, especially like how the ceiling turned out. They showed me a picture of how bad the ceiling looked once the popcorn was removed and it makes the final product even more impressive!"

"James & team did beautiful work! They not only patched up some unsightly cracks and dings in the walls, they also made the walls appear much more even and clean. When I purchased my home I had the walls repainted off white and the wainscoting as well as crown moldings and door jams/ window trim all painted a light grey! It turned out wonderfully! We are absolutely in love with the new look! We also turned the natural wood fence into a beautiful oasis by painting it Charleston green (almost black) which made the greenery and shrubs pop against the color. It is better than I imagined! I call James every time I need anything done, even if it’s just a ceiling touch up around a light fixture! He and his team do incredible work at a good price and they are easy to work with and incredibly accommodating with your time. We knew we could trust having them in our home alone, which we did on numerous occasions, and can’t imagine having more peace of mind than that. James is just an incredibly nice person, friendly, and trustworthy. We will hire James again and again!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

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.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.
