"SJ Coverup did a great job putting up wallpaper in our dining room and on an accent wall in our family room. They were very professional, responsive, and did great work. This was our first wallpapering job and I was a little concerned on how well everything would line up with the pattern. We were beyond impressed with how it came out. We plan to wallpaper our powder room and would definitely hire these guys again."

"Marcio's team was outstanding. Needed a ceiling replaced to cover water damage, and older tile blocks, and entire apartment wallpaper removal. Marcio did outstanding work at a competitive price. They were in and out in a single day plus a few hours. Great cleanup and care was taken. Arrived at 7AM to start work. Showed up when promised. I highly recommend Marcio and Master Plastering & Services. I'm looking at additional work for this team. Thank you!"

"We had a wallpaper-covered foyer, with a 16' ceiling and a two-story staircase. We hired JM to remove this wallpaper and repair and paint the walls of the foyer and a connected large hallway on the second floor. JM used metal staging planks to reach all of the areas safely and efficiently. He also repaired the walls, applied a quality bonding primer over all the skim coated sections before painting two full coats of washable matte finish to hide imperfections. The finish work and full cleanup was excellent!!"

"They did a very good job of painting the exterior of my daughter's house. Primed, patched, removed items not to be painted and taped off the windows and surrounding areas so no over spray. When finished, the job was done extremely well and the house looked a million times better!"

"The clapboard on my house is the original wood from when the house was built in 1925. So you can imagine the sanding and prep work that needed to go into the project. The paint job looks incredible The results as well as the pricing exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend JMC Painting Company. Very honest, clean and reliable. Very happy with the work and I am now using JMC for interior paint projects"

"Hired finishing touch to repair and paint the interior of our condo which consists of old horsehair plaster walls and ceiling. They removed some wall paper as well. The transformation from start to finish was huge! David went out of his way to accommodate most of my requests, some of which were beyond the scope of the initial contract. David did a great job skim coating the walls and making it all look “new”. I can’t wait to have his team come back to finish painting the rest of our unit!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.

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.
