"Lawrence was great! Recommended paint colors for a complicated kitchen...I never would havve selected them, but they turned out to be perfect with the existing cabinets and new floors. He also removed wallpaper and addressed a bathroom with several drywall issues as well as other imperfections in the house. His work was meticulous and every wall and ceiling looks perfect. He was always on time and got along great with my dog, who actually started waiting at the window each morning for him to come. Bonus!!! Best part, he quotes a price up front and honors the price regardless of how long it takes. No surprises. I would highly recommend Lawrence!!!"

"Chicagoland Precision Painting came by and looked at the job. Jason Cortez was good, he came by. He was very attentive and called me back later to check how things were. He was very flexible. I would have hired him if I hadn't done the work myself. He was prompt and explained everything in detail."

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.

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

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.
