"Chris did an amazing job! I bought a 150 year old apartment building, sight unseen. The walls were in terrible shape. I thought I would have to pull everything down and replaster. CHRIS TO THE RESCUE! He got to work patching and I know not what all had to be done. Then, he hung the vinyl wall covering. Omg! It turned out perfect! It looks so beautiful! I originally wanted to go with a plain beige wall covering, just something to cover the horrible crumbling plaster. He talked me into a print that belonged to the Victorian Age, when the house was built. He could see something I couldn't in this old building. I didn't recognize the place when he was finished! Bless his heart, he even helped me clear out the backyard and didn't charge me a dime for it. He is a life saver! .... It's been almost a year and a half. No bubbling or peeling with the wall covering..... Chris is the best! I will definitely use him again. He gave me a great price and did great work. I couldn't ask for more."

"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!"

"Our son's bedroom had several layers of wallpaper under paint.  Chris worked with me to find the best solution for his room and gave me several options.  The painters were friendly, polite, conscientious and quick!  The room looks great and we plan on hiring them again the near future.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.
