"Mario is fantastic. He's extremely professional, punctual, responsive and extremely friendly. His work is top notch - our house is historic and in one room he took off wallpaper and the drywall underneath was just crumbling away. He did a great job repairing it and came out an extra day to get final details done so everything was perfect. Will definitely be using again."

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 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.

"I had previously hired Edson to paint our interior and once again he and his crew did a fabulous job.  I wanted to get the outside done prior to the end of May.   Edson responded immediately and completed the job within a week.  He personally started the project which involved power-washing and scraping of old paint and repainting of two porches, plus power-washing and watersealing our deck.  The crew that came to help out were professional, courteous and neat.  We communicated mostly through email once the project was underway and Edson always responded promptly.   It is a pleasure doing business with Edson."

"Daddy and Junior Paint is the best around! I have used them on several large and small jobs. They are the only company I call when I need work done. Rodolfo always returns my calls, shows up on time and completes a project on time or early. Every time I have used Rodolfo's services he has gone above and beyond for me. Rodolfo is also very personable and makes you feel comfortable around him and his employees. In our most recent project he drywalled three rooms which included all the walls and ceilings. Removed wallpaper and then skim coated walls. Rodolfo's finishing work with the trim was beautiful! When it came to color suggestion he walked me through the process of picking the perfect color. I will be using Daddy and Junior Paint for years to come."

"Richard and his assistant were very prompt, scheduled the job quickly, arrived on time (early, in fact) and worked lightening-fast to wallpaper three rooms in my home. The quality was excellent, too, and their experience in the field really shows. I would definitely recommend them!"

"Bruno and his team painted our large living L-shaped room and hallway, including the walls, ceiling, wood trim, and three doors and the woodwork on our kitchen. They did an amazing job and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They were able to give us a quote the day after I inquired and they began work on it the day after that and finished in two days. My house was built in 1930, so there were imperfections on the walls and a few wholes in the ceiling that they fixed for us. It looks so much better, and I will definitely hire them for more rooms in the future!"

"It went better than I imagined. I recently had my living room repainted and new lighting installed and when that job was finished I realized I couldn't keep the dated wall to wall carpet that had been in the house for years. I called Mike on a Saturday morning, he called back within 10 minutes and come over that afternoon to give me an estimate and began the work the following Tuesday, when he removed the wall to wall carpet.  He started the sanding the next day. When he gave me the estimate he said it would take three days to do the job and another two to allow the finish to dry completely before I could move the furniture back.  He explained the difference between the water based and oil based polyurethane finishes and that I would need to have thresholds installed at some doorways.  After the old wall to wall was removed he showed me scratches the original carpet installers had left in the hardwood.  He said he would try to get them out, but they were very deep and would most likely show up as "shadow lines" when he was done.  They are minor and I can live with them. He did the job right on time and at the price he gave me.  He always returned calls promptly. He was very honest and upfront with me throughout.  The job went exactly as he said it would.  The floors look fantastic, I'm very happy with the job he did! Now I want to have my three bedroom floors done."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.

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.

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

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.
