Wallpapering is my main focus, although I can do most any decorating task. I'm honest, fair, courteous, prompt, and a bit of a perfectionist. Chicago, suburbs, and beyond.

"Both rooms turned out better than I hoped for! I would highly recommend Ed Murphy. He does beautiful work, his pricing is fair, he was punctual and responsive, and he was friendly and easy to work with."

"Mike and his team were referred to me by my real estate agent and I only heard good things about them. Communication through the whole process was perfect and we set up a time for the guys to come over and paint the place. It is a 2b/2b apartment. Prior to that I received an estimate from Mike and we discussed what paint colors I want and when the team showed up ready to start painting everything was bought and ready. Every day guys would do the work and clean after themselves and put things away where they were and always put their tools away to the dedicated area in my place. Everything was smooth and painless. I was amazed at how professionally everything was done. When everything was painted I didn't have even a slightest touch up work left that needed to be done. The pain looks amazing, my apartment was clean after the guys left and I didn't even need to move the furniture or participate in the process at all. Mike and his team are my go to guys if I ever need to paint anything again! Highly recommend!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

You can wallpaper and paint over certain types of wallpaper, but it’s usually a better idea to remove it first. Removing the wallpaper and prepping the wall before painting is a good way to guarantee a smooth finish that looks professional. If you ever have a moisture or water issue after painting over wallpaper, the paper will bubble and damage your wall. Additionally, you should never paint over wallpaper already peeling or otherwise damaged, as this will leave obvious imperfections in your wall and could lead to additional problems.

How long peel-and-stick wallpaper lasts depends on a few factors, including the conditions in the room, the quality of the wallpaper, and the wallpaper's application. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but you may decide to remove it sooner. Under ideal conditions, it can also last for much longer.

Factors that may shorten the lifespan of peel-and-stick wallpaper include high humidity in a room (such as a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper.

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

It’s best to remove wallpaper rather than paint over it. You should only paint over wallpaper if removing it would damage the wall, the surface is relatively smooth, or there are minimal problem areas—such as slight peeling and lifted seams—that you can fix easily. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it can create more problems if the wallpaper is in poor condition and you don’t properly prep the area for painting. Depending on the state of the wallpaper, color, and textures could show through, and moisture from the paint could loosen the adhesive, causing unsightly bubbling.
