"We had some mold remediation done in the ceiling of our garage and master bedroom and needed parts of the drywall replaced and patched. Lawrence was great! He showed up promptly for the estimate, looked things over and gave a quote on the spot. Some other companies tried to convince us to repaint the walls in our bedroom in addition to the ceiling, which didnâ t make sense to me. Lawrence only did the work that was necessary and everything turned out great! He repaired the two spots, painted the entire bedroom ceiling, and left zero mess. He even replaced the insulation that had been removed with the mold remediation for only the additional cost of the insulation itself. He was friendly, professional, quick and affordable. It doesnâ t get much better than that!"

"MNM did an excellent job hanging wallpaper in our nursery. The wallpaper looks terrific and there were some difficult parts to the job. MNM was easy to deal with at a reasonable price and handled everything very well. I would hire them again."

"Joe did an excellent job of quickly and cleanly removing the wallpaper from the large foyer and stairway of a historic home, being careful to protect the surrounding areas and flooring. He then patched and sealed the plaster walls and painted the foyer and stairway walls and trim. He was prompt and professional. All aspects of the job were very well done."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.

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.
