"We recently had our large front porch painted as well as the frames around several doors and the garage. Pablo’s assistant Eduardo did a fantastic job. Beautiful results and no mess! This is the seventh project that has been done by them. Cannot recommend more highly!"

"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."

"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."

"We first hired Chris of CQ Painting after reading good reviews on Angie's List in 2012. We hired Chris for exterior painting which included replacing and painting wooden trim around the windows and doors. Due to the good work initially, I have hired Chris multiple times since, including the skim-coating/painting of two rooms (once to cover up splatter paint decorating and the other to fix another company’s wall paper removal gone bad in our powder room). Most recently, we hired Chris for drywall repair/painting associated with a kitchen/family room refresh; during this project, I learned learned Chris’ company was expanding into other areas and I subsequently hired him for an interior door project and to install several lighting fixtures in our dining room and foyer. Everything turned out beautifully. In all the jobs for which he was hired, Chris and his crew arrived on time, have always been respectful, pay attention to detail, and are great at cleaning up afterward. Due to the above, Chris has become our “go to” guy whenever we have a painting-related project! I would definitely recommend Chris and CQ painting!"

"I am thoroughly pleased with Jason's work in all 3 rooms he painted in my home and highly recommend him.   I was concerned about the potentially messy removal of a wall mural that needed to be sanded off due to a textured finish.  Jason understood my concern about mess & dust and used a appropriate methods to minimize the mess.  As a result I was happily surprised at how little mess was made during  the removal of the mural and subsequent patching.  In general, Jason & his brother who helped on the projects cleaned up very well every day.  Jason helped us pick colors which ranged from the difficulty of finding the right white for one room, using a combination of bold colors in another, and coming to my rescue when I changed my mind for color for my kitchen.  He patiently helped me select a new color when I was having trouble and started over without missing a beat.  He stuck to his cost & time estimate perfectly. He was always punctual upon arrival and left for the day when he said he would.  He also updated my ceiling lighting & installed under cabinet lighting for me. All the rooms feel really transformed and look great!  Jason is conscientious, responsible, & trustworthy.  I got to know him and truly like him as a person as well.  He ended up helping me with other minor repairs around the house, never seeming to mind a little request here & there.  He is also very knowledgeable about computers and is starting a computer repair business.  I hired him to fix my laptop which he did successfully and plan to have him help me with other computer related issues.  Please see review for Jason in computer repair under the company name Chicagoland Computer Solutions."

"Joe was great. Had to patch up numerous openings in our kitchen ceiling from light removal and replacement during a kitchen renovation. If you haven't done drywall patching in the past, unfortunately, it is not a one day process. Joe came out numerous times to make sure the job was done right and did not rush. Even after paying Joe our final payment and thinking the job was complete we noticed a couple of spots that needed some attention once in the natural daylight the next day. Joe was right out to take care of and made perfect. Does very good work, answers phone calls, and is attentive to details. Would rehire."

"Ken removed the wallpaper on the bedroom wall and patched the additional cracks in the bedroom walls. He cleaned up everything really well and did a good job. I did not put up the wallpaper so I'm not sure what was underneath so it could have been a rather involved job to remove it. I was pleased with his work and the fact that everything was cleaned up so well.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.

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.

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.

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.

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.
