"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."

"They also removed the existing shutters and installed our new shutters. They did a great job power-washing and prepping for painting. Their carpenter did an excellent job replacing several rotten clapboards and trim. From start to finish, every person, including the Sales and Office staff, was knowledgeable, professional, experienced, polite and easy to work with. The lead painter, Paulo, was exceptionally skilled, thorough, detail-oriented, and easy to communicate with. Each day of the job they showed up on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up everything at the end of the day. In short, we couldn’t be more pleased with the entire process and our final result. We highly recommend Target Painting."

"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!"

"Cobra Painting did great work. Showed up on time and were very professional. Originally only wanted my living room and hall painted. We were so impressed by their work, we had them return and paint my downstairs den and a bedroom. They worked neat and clean and were helpful with advice on current trends and popular colors that worked in our home. I would have them back again and highly recommend them."

Arthur answered my query within a day. Celso was out to look at requirements and prepare a quote with another couple of days.

Ede came in and removed all cabinet doors and drawers and took them to the Bright shop for prep work and spay painting.

Ede and Sam came back with the doors and drawers and worked very hard for 2 days, taping, covering priming sanding  and finishing. The doors and drawers were re-installed and the entire area thoroughly cleaned.

We could not be happier. The guys took off their shoes while in the house, were friendly and could not do enough for us. There was one minor issue that was my fault and they came back within a day and took care of it.

"Said and his assistant did a fantastic job and were able to sand trim and get two coats of pain on everything within 4 hours. I was amazed! They left the room very clean and paint job looks great. Said was professional, knowledgeable and gave me good tips on removing wallpaper and repainting trim throughout my house if we should decided to do it ourselves. I'll likely hire him again over the winter for a few other paint projects we have on our list.

"The two painters that did this work were great. Punctual, cleaned up totally after themselves, kept us informed about their progress, and did a first rate job. Edson is very responsive and keeps in touch. His prices are well in line with other quality painters and ESP's customer service is obviously very important to him and his crew. Highly recommended."

"We could not have been happier personally and professionally to have found Ed Beauregard through Angie's List. Ed began working on our 14'x27 living room the day he promised. He removed the grasscloth we had put up decades ago as well as take down the curtains on our six windows, Next he spackled and filled cracks and holes revealed by the removed wallpaper. He painted the ceiling, walls and woodwork. At the end of each day, he thoroughly cleaned the area. He finished the job when promised. The room looks wonderful. Ed even helped rehang our paintings. All in all we would give him an A+ for the job and plan to use him for any other painting projects in the future. We should also add that re really liked Ed as a person as well as Scottie who helped Ed for a few hours on non-painting tasks ."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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 hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.
