"We chose Quality Exteriors because they were willing and able to coordinate our roofing, gutter and painting needs. The roof was replaced quickly, workers were professional and cleaned up afterwards. We had a small leak around our chimney after a large storm. Quality Exteriors had workers here the next day to address the problem and we have had no more leaks! The gutters and gutter guards look great and we've had no problems with them. We also had one exterior side of our home painted, the painter was very professional and thorough.
Matt was our point of contact with Quality Exteriors. He was excellent about keeping us posted on where we were in the process, working with our insurance company, and staying on budget. The final price was actually a little lower than the original quote. They were an easy company to work with and we would definitely use them again!

"Mike and his employees were curious and communicated promptly. Mike was honest and quick. He came the same day to give a quote, came back the next day after approval to tape off the walls, then they painted. They were in and out quickly. Would recommend Mike and his guys for anyone's house."

"Impeccable!!!   My husband and I couldn't have been more thrilled with how gorgeous our home was upon completion.  Brandon and his crew worked very hard to make sure everything was done exactly as we wanted it.  All ceilings were painted, brand new crown moldings were intricately painted, wall paper removed and completely prepared and textured 4 complete rooms.  This was a difficult job to complete as I wasn't able to get all of my furniture out of the house; they worked around everything and protected it all.  Without a doubt I would recommend Elite Painting in Shreveport.  Brandon Price stayed in constant contact with my husband and I to make sure everything was completed to out satisfaction.  Very professional in every way!!!"

"Very prompt in getting in touch w/ me to schedule estimate and very pleasant to deal with. He gave a competitive price to conduct repair work I was seeking (as compared to 3 other estimates I've received). At this time, it appears as though a male friend (who had a catastropic construction company in Atlanta, GA for 10 yrs.) will do the work I need to have done (in the aftermath of my house flooding when my washing machine hose bursting while I was on vacation). I would recommend Jesse to others."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

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.
