"The team did a great job! They arrived promptly as planned and quickly removed the wallpaper. They cleaned the walls and repainted. The results look great - very clean and neat. They finished the job quickly, were polite and personable, and I would definitely hire them again. Thank you"

"Simon was very prompt in his responses and his availability and his prices were fair. He installed wallpaper to a powder room that required a lot of cutting and aligning. He did this work with precision, and it looks fantastic! He completed this project in a little less than 6 hours too!"

"The 360 Painting of North Shore crew did a phenomenal job repainting our entire house. The job was tricky because it involved painting over some very *intense* color selections from the previous owners and patching a few larger holes in the wall, but the end product was flawless. We’re very pleased and recommend their services to anyone seeking a quality, reliable, punctual and friendly painting crew!"

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

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.
