"My partner and I had replacement windows installed in our bedroom. The were already primed and we intended to paint them ourselves. The house is 106 years old and the trim is orignal with many coats of paint, etc. After working several evenings and one full Saturday and with only one window set of trim and one window painted, we knew we needed help. The window company suggest we call Celtic Painting and talk to Scott Keating. We called and explained our situation and asked for the painting to happen as soon as possible. They managed to work us in for the following Friday at 7am. On Friday, Joe called ( at 7:00am) and said he was running a little late and would be there by 7:30am. He came at exactly 7:30am and went to work. By about 3:30 pm the windows and trim were all painted with 2 coats of paint. He had caulked around the windows as needed and done some sanding, although we had said we could live with the imperfections. We were very satisfied with Joe's work and our experience with Celtic. The area was cleaned up, no paint anywhere it shouldn't be and Joe was very professional, quiet and effiecient. We will definitely consider this company again if we need interior painting done."

"Besides installing wall covering with literally perfect results, contractor, Tom Warrington, also re-finished a section of damaged plaster ceiling with equally outstanding results. I have been around a variety of tradesmen much of my life (my father was an architect) and I have learned to distinguish those who are conscientious and take pride in their work compared to the losers. This contractor is a winner in every way."

Wallpapering FAQs, 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.

Yes, many installation and painting services include wall preparation, such as patching holes, smoothing surfaces, sanding, and priming. It is recommended to confirm the specific preparations included with your provider.

It is less costly to paint than wallpaper when you only consider the upfront cost. Wallpaper costs $320 to $820 when applied by a pro, while paint only costs $200 to $700 per room. However, when comparing wallpaper versus paint, consider the long-term as well. Wallpaper can save you money over time since it has a much longer life span than paint.

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.

Yes, you can apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling, but it requires significant preparation for a good result. Peel-and-stick wallpaper has a weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper and works best on smooth, non-textured surfaces like painted or primed drywall. Because wood paneling is often textured with grooves, any flaws in the underlying surface will likely be visible after application. To prepare the paneling, you must ensure the surface is free of cracks, holes, and protrusions by filling any indentations and sanding rough spots to create a smooth surface. An alternative is to remove the paneling and apply the wallpaper directly to the underlying drywall or plaster, provided it is in good condition.
