"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 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 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.

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

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

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 average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.
