"I am still in awe and cannot believe how beautiful my home came out, Justin was an extremely profesional individual and it literally was one of the easiest experiences of my life. The man came in and came out before I knew it. I wish I had more of my home to paint because I would hire him in a heartbeat( I’m sure my children will be painting the walls soon with some crayons). My wife was very happy with the results. Thank you Justin for making what can be a very excruciating time a very easy and hassle free process."

"I had the clapboard front and all the trim of my house painted. Fernando, and his crew of three, were among the most conscientious workers I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Preparation and painting were done to the most minute detail. Care was taken to protect plantings and shrubbery, and cleanup was complete to the point that you would never know they were here--other than the beautiful new paint job. All of this was done at a cost much lower than two other estimates I received. I cannot recommend Mid Cape Painter more highly."

"Tassio was very personal and professional. He showed up on time, had a very â Can Doâ attitude and was very pleasant to work with. We wanted to have the wallpaper hung for us as soon as we could, and he quoted us a price and did it within a few days. It looks great. I would hire him again for wallpapering or painting too."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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 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.

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. 

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.
