"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!"

"John was fantastic. Was able to come out on short notice and take care of the wallpaper removal. He was very fairly priced, knowledgable and provided me feedback and tips for painting the room once the wallpaper was removed."

"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

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

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.

As long as the surface you’re putting the tile on is properly prepped, peel-and-stick backsplashes should stay on and last anywhere from 3 to 5 years. The best way to ensure the tile stays on is to sand down and clean the wall before applying your design.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

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.
