"Our experience with 360° Painting was perfect from start to finish. The owner, Mike, made time to come quote the job shortly after receiving our request and did a great job helping us understand what would work best for the intricate, compact, well-lit space where errors or carelessness would be super noticeable. We felt at ease after meeting with Mike and believed that his team would do a fantastic job. Leading up to the scheduled painting date, Mike checked in to make sure the painter, Jose, and we had everything we needed to ensure we were prepared and that all would go smoothly. The job itself took 2 days and Mike stopped by mid-way through to make sure everything was going well. He also walked the job with us after it was complete to confirm that we were happy with the end results. His communication was so thorough and really made us feel certain that we had hired the right company. Jose did an incredible job with the painting itself - he is clearly a highly capable, detail-oriented, meticulous, but still efficient painter. He is a very nice man, extremely professional and took good care of our home while he was working here. A huge bonus was that Mike was able to squeeze us in before the holiday, which was so helpful given that we'll have guests. We've been putting off painting this room for an embarrassingly long time due to the level of detail required and our concern that it wouldn't come out well, but now wish we'd hired 360° Painting much sooner. Thank you to Mike and Jose for a wonderful experience - we couldn't possibly be more thrilled with how the room looks and can't wait to share it with our guests very soon. We will definitely use 360° again and will happily refer them to family, friends & neighbors. If you're looking for a highly competent painter and a fantastic customer experience, hire Mike and his team immediately!"

"Overall, I am happy with the work performed by A&R, and I would hire them again. They were on time, their quote was reasonable, and they were good at communication. The drywall work they did on my bathroom ceiling was excellent. After the first coat of paint, I asked them to clean up a few mud spots, and they corrected the work before the second coat with no problems at all. The worker Alex was very polite and I felt comfortable with him in my home. Their final price was about $50 more than the quote, because they had to do some extra patching, but I thought it was reasonable."

"Max and his assistant were an awesome team, efficient, personable and listened to what I wanted done on my job. They had accidentally left with one of my wall hooks and were quick to respond and found it in their tool box with a return the next day. Everything was done very well with a good cleanup."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

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.

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. 

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.
