"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 very responsive and professional. He walked me through what would be necessary to complete the work and the associated costs. He showed up right on time and prepped the area with drop cloths to keep things clean. I was extremely impressed with the quality of work. My wallpaper was hung perfectly, likely the result of years of experience."

"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 received 3 bids and all three were very close.  Price-wise Chicagoland Precision Painting was in the middle, but I chose them because Jason offered a free color consultation and other reviewers had good things to say about his color help.   Jason was always on time (or early).  The crew worked very hard and they were able to finish the job in 3 days.  I'm very happy with the results."

"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 Turner Custom Painting beautifully restored almost the entire interior of my house. I chose this company because of the high ratings the company has received on Angie's List, and because the company removes wallpaper, which is no longer commonplace among painting contractors. The painters worked diligently and quietly and put in long hours when necessary to stay on schedule. l highly recommend this business, as the owner is very focused on customer satisfaction. I have already reserved time with them for another project in the spring."

"Jon and Ray did an impeccable job!! Both home projects were completed in a timely manner. Jon is extremely meticulous, and very conscientious of how the project should look on completion. Jon and Ray both were determined to make the siding and paint job look as good as new. The gentlemen are hard working, dedicated and very dependable! We will have Precise Touch Exterior & Interior Painting return to our home for more projects. We are very pleased with their detail and professionalism. Thank you"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.

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.

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.
