"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."

"The team from D L Painting. Are the nicest, professional and polite group of men. They know what they are doing that is for sure. My previous tenant left the three floor unit a mess. It was awful. Walls with an ugly grey paint, holes in the walls, just an overall mess. Closets torn apart and doors off the hinges. One small bathroom torn apart from the floor and walls. It was an awful mess. D L painters fixed the holes and patched the doors painted a beautiful white and trim. The walls throughout the unit was painted with a Behr Color from Home Depot called “Hush!” It is beautiful the work and time they put into the unit. With loving kindness. Now the place looks wonderful. I am hoping to rent it soon. I have bought beds and furniture for the unit. Hopefully to rent it to traveling professionals. Looking forward to making it as cozy as possible. Thanks to D L painting they fixed the place together and it looks beautiful! I plan to continue to keep contact with future projects. If you’re looking for a transformation of your property I suggest you contact D L painters. Prices are fair and the men are respectful and honest. You can not beat that service oriented. As you can sense the loving kindness they put into your projects. Love these guys and are so pleased with their work. I tell everyone I meet about them. Transformation Genies for real! !"

"Erick is a consummate professional: he takes pride in his craftsmanship, is unfailingly polite, and exemplary in his communication. Each day, he would make sure I knew when he would arrive, and at the end of the day, he would send me a progress report with pictures. Even though I did not ask, he power-washed my deck and replaced a broken vent flap, which was greatly appreciated. I will think of Erick for all future painting projects and refer him to friends and family members."

"We had Mercy Painting come out to repair and repaint some water damage on our ceiling from an old leak in our roof. Erick and his team were incredibly responsive, available to complete our job on very short notice, and did an incredible job, both with the painting, as well as clean up. They were also very reasonably priced, and very efficient; Erick came out for an estimate the day after I submitted a request, and were able to come out just a few days later, and completed the job in just a couple of hours. Would highly recommend them for any painting job you have coming up!"

"Erik was a pleasure to work with for our primary bedroom wallpaper project. I initially messaged him on a Friday evening and he responded immediately. He was able to give me an estimate right away based on photos and measurements I provided. His communication throughout the project was among the most prompt and professional I've ever encountered in a home reno project. The work he did was flawless. Our bedroom looks beautiful. Will definitely hire him again. Thank you, Erik!"

"The condo I am renting needed the bathroom painted. Paul made arrangements with my tenants to work while they were gone for Thanksgiving. Work was done in a timely manner and my tenants are thrilled with the results. So am I."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.

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.

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

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.
