"Sebastian and Johan did a phenomenal job on my living room wallpaper project. Everything - from start to communications to finish - went very smoothly and well. I am particularly impressed by their attention to detail and their willingness to go the extra mile to do good work. The installation required some wall repair and painting the room white before hanging the wallpaper, and Sebastian and Johan handled it all with a positive attitude, enthusiasm, and professionalism. I would hire them again in an instant. The room looks fantastic!!"

"He was very responsible and professional. His estimate was very reasonable and his work was excellent. We weren't given the choice of exactly what he did on this review. So I am putting what he did here. He and his wife removed the wallpaper and put up new."

"Cobra Painting was very professional. We had a quote from another person who had done work for us before but had to drop out. I contacted Ron from from Cobra Painting and he and Larry came over the next day a Friday, to see the the room and received a quote as promised, on Monday. We, accepted and they came that Friday and completed the job in one day. They caulked both windows put made the base board flush with the wall that was to be papered. The also called all the nail holes in the wood work and sanded. They did a great job putting up the wallpaper and the painting. I am very particular about pattern matching and the wallpaper looks great. The cleaned up after themselves and left the floor cleaner than the found it."

"The attention to detail was amazing. The screens were taken off the skylights before painting, there is not a speck of paint on the 5
twelve over twelve windows or on the 15 light french door. Switchplates were removed and replaced with the insulation in place on the outside walls. The cleanup was just as meticulous.

"Silva Express Painting has been my favorite contractor to work with on a project that requires contractors from plumbing, electrical, roofing, carpentry, masonry, flooring, and more. Chet and his team are professional, and deliver above and beyond. He is easy to communicate with, responsive, his pricing is fair — even when changes need to happen mid project unexpectedly (paint was peaking through despite multiple coats because of previous paint used). He kept to the schedule, arrived on time, provided updates along the way. The transformation he made in the spaces he painted are better than I could have imagined they’d be. I didn’t think some of the walls could be as smooth as he left them given the condition they were in to begin with. I have already made future plans to have Silva Express Painting out again to do more interior painting for me after some other projects are done on my property. I would highly recommend Chet and his team to anyone without any hesitation."

"Said and his crew were great!  They came right on time and got to business.  The moved and removed all of my furniture and wall hangings, curtains etc. Painted the rooms and put everything back.  They went above and beyond when I asked them to paint my sons room with two racing stripes over the grey paint I chose.  We ended up hiring them to paint a few additional rooms and a ceiling. The house look so beautiful.  I love it all over again.

Edson was very responsive after I left a message. I needed to rush and have the work done immediately and Edson made this happen. His crew, Fernando, did a great job to remove the wallpaper, skim-coat, and paint the living room. I was very happy with the work and I will go back to Edson the next time I need to do a paint job.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

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.

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.

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.
