"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."

"Michael and his assistant, Jose, did a superb job painting and wallpapering a study and bathroom. My husband said it was the best wallpapering job he'd ever seen. We used a difficult pattern and he matched it perfectly, even when we were down to our last wallpaper ends, trying to finish a spot above a door. They were prompt, worked a full 8-5 day, and were as unobtrusive as possible while working. We highly recommend him."

"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!"

"We are absolutely thrilled with the outstanding work provided by Paul and his crew. From the moment we called Paul, he gave us very practical advice (on what was worth our attention and effort) and he was very timely in coming to our home to evaluate what needed to be done. He provided an estimate in < 24 hours. After getting the 3 recommended painters to come by to provide estimates, we went with Paul due to his (1) professionalism, (2) practicality, (3) competitive pricing, and (4) experience. He was also very responsive to my many questions prior to the start of work. He and his crew completed the work within a couple of days including working over a holiday. They cleaned up after their work and patched up areas that were left behind by the electricians. We were impressed with their handywork in covering the base for a former light fixture and removing a painted border on a wall. We were very happy with the end result and already consulted him on how to move forward with painting the remaining rooms of the home."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.
