"I am thoroughly pleased with Jason's work in all 3 rooms he painted in my home and highly recommend him.   I was concerned about the potentially messy removal of a wall mural that needed to be sanded off due to a textured finish.  Jason understood my concern about mess & dust and used a appropriate methods to minimize the mess.  As a result I was happily surprised at how little mess was made during  the removal of the mural and subsequent patching.  In general, Jason & his brother who helped on the projects cleaned up very well every day.  Jason helped us pick colors which ranged from the difficulty of finding the right white for one room, using a combination of bold colors in another, and coming to my rescue when I changed my mind for color for my kitchen.  He patiently helped me select a new color when I was having trouble and started over without missing a beat.  He stuck to his cost & time estimate perfectly. He was always punctual upon arrival and left for the day when he said he would.  He also updated my ceiling lighting & installed under cabinet lighting for me. All the rooms feel really transformed and look great!  Jason is conscientious, responsible, & trustworthy.  I got to know him and truly like him as a person as well.  He ended up helping me with other minor repairs around the house, never seeming to mind a little request here & there.  He is also very knowledgeable about computers and is starting a computer repair business.  I hired him to fix my laptop which he did successfully and plan to have him help me with other computer related issues.  Please see review for Jason in computer repair under the company name Chicagoland Computer Solutions."

"Ken Turner Custom Painting beautifully restored almost the entire interior of my house. I chose this company because of the high ratings the company has received on Angie's List, and because the company removes wallpaper, which is no longer commonplace among painting contractors. The painters worked diligently and quietly and put in long hours when necessary to stay on schedule. l highly recommend this business, as the owner is very focused on customer satisfaction. I have already reserved time with them for another project in the spring."

"Got a quick quote from Rick to paint 3 rooms, a large living room, dining room and Kitchen. Work was estimated to take 2 days and it was completed in that time frame. Fernando showed up on time and worked until the job was completed to my satisfaction. The rooms look great and there was not drips of paint anywhere, very professional!!! I will definitely recommend and hire painters from Rick Remaly Painting. Again, great job!!!"

"Steve and his employees did an immaculate job restoring the walls of the home I inherited from my grandparents. 80% of the house had wallpaper from 1981. Project was started and completed on time and perfectly. I currently have other ongoing projects with them, including painting work and future planned work, so I will be updated or adding reviews in the future. Thank you, Steve!"

"After a "simple" bathroom repainting turned into a nightmare of peeling paint from permanent wallpaper, with damaged drywall as a result, David provided me with options for repairing the walls with a new, cost-conscious finish and then painted the room for me as well. He was extremely punctual and responsive, professional and anxious to provide excellent customer service. He was accurate in how much time the job would take, and his price guarantee made sure that no hidden costs popped up at the last minute. He did a great job, and saved us A LOT of frustration and stress."

"Extremely responsive to initial request for quote.  Patient with us while we worked out timing around our work and travel schedule. Quote was reasonable and within our budget.  Once we signed contract, painters were on site within a few days.  Steve (owner) checked in on paint crew regularly, checked on progress and asked about our satisfaction every day.  Although he said he would correct any missed spots that we found right away, we found none.  Painters, Chuck & Placido, worked tirelessly every day.  Walls where wallpaper was removed were cleaned to be smooth as butter before new paint applied.  Paint crew also asked us about our satisfaction with their progress to make sure we were happy before they left job site every day.
We highly recommend Midwest Painting and Decorating, and will likely use them again for future work planned."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.
