"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."

"My wife and I needed some major paining done to our new condominium unit. The walls are 22’ high so we needed someone with experience. We called JMC for an estimate and Justin showed up, took measurements and assured us it would be easy for him and his crew to get it done in two days. We trusted him because you know within 20 seconds of meeting him that he is a man of integrity. It was the best decision we made because Justin is not only thorough, prompt and efficient but he’s also one the nicest people we’ve ever met. He and his crew are so considerate and professional that I know we will never use another painter again. We could not recommend JMC Painting more! They are the best. Thank you Justin and your team for making our place look brand new! Mike & Krissy Roberts"

"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.

"Steve at Hollywood Junk was extremely responsive and helpful. With an hour of requesting a quote, I received a reasonable quote from Steve and agreed to hire him to do the job. He advised he could do the job today and we setup a time and he called me when he was 15 minutes away to let me know he was on the way. My job was completed with 3 hours of submitting my request. The treadmill I needed to have removed needed to be taken apart to get out the door and he had the tools necessary."

"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 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.

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.

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.
