"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."

"Nick did a very thorough job repairing the walls of our powder room. Before the walls had old wall paper we couldn't get off and were dented and uneven. Afterwards the old wallpaper is gone and the walls are perfectly smooth and painted blue. He was punctual, honest and very thorough in his work. Would very highly recommend!"

"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."

"Good price, professional, responsive, punctual, and conscientious - I highly recommend Chicagoland Precision Painting.

I was extremely pleased with my experience with Jason at Chicagoland Precision Painting.  He responded to my initial inquiry very quickly and came out the very next day to provide an estimate.  His estimate was very reasonable for the amount of work we needed.  Once we contracted the work, he educated me on the benefits of non-toxic paint which I confirmed with my own research.  I agreed to utilize it and am very happy with the decision.  Jason also provided input on paint colors to accent our fireplaces and I am glad I agreed to follow his advice - they look great!  Finally, Jason and his employee were professional, punctual, and tidy.  The entire job only took about 2.5 days to complete and I've received numerous compliments.  I plan to use them again when I paint 2 additional bedrooms."

"Tom Fox ROCKS! He nailed my vintage flocked wall paper installation in my master closet and down one wall. All of the pieces on the ceiling and down the wall match and you cannot tell where one piece ends and another one begins. Tom also painted my master closet and patched some spots where we had damage previously. I looking forward to having Tom back again when i update my laundry room. You cannot go wrong with Tom."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

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.
