"I absolutely adore the color of my bedroom! There was a misunderstanding about the color of the ceiling, but Mike and the team quickly fixed the issue per my initial request. Everyone I talk to absolutely loves the color too, and I can’t wait to show them in person!"

"This was a project I was dreading. They came in and completed the project in a total of 5 days. They were very conscientious and made removing wallpaper look easy. They were great and addressed any areas I was not happy with. I thought light shadows were painting imperfections and they were willing to repaint the area even after I realized it was a weird shadow. I do plan on having them back, but want to get some carpet work done first."

"Dave's crew did an excellent job and my house looks exacty how I pictured it. We spent a lot of time discussing my expectations and figuring out what would look best. The painters always checked with me to make sure they understood what I wanted. It took almost three weeks to complete the job because the preparation was meticulous. The painters were very courteous, respectful and professional and completely cleaned the work area before going home every evening."

"Excellent.  This was an unusual job, and Dadstasks did a great job advising, setting up the parameters and completing the job.

Situation: I was trying to figure out how to maintain easy access (through a bedroom plaster wall) to a plumbing line that we had to break throw (the plaster wall) to get to.  Not that I want to have to fix the plumbing again, but as long as we know the line is there, and we had to access it once, then we might as well repair the wall with future access in mind (bright idea, right?).  So instead of the "typical" repairing the plaster (which was recommended by the contractor who fixed the plumbing issue), I wanted to put in an access panel and finish the wall area so the room was still appropriate and pleasant. So we called Dadstasks in to advise.  They provided some great ideas, quoted the job and provided a quick turn around time, with a job well done.  I would recommend them to anyone."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on wallpaper type, wall condition, labor, and necessary repairs.

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.

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.

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.

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation.
