"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

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.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

White walls are considered a classic and timeless look and will most likely always be in style. A white wall easily blends into any type of home decor style which makes it a suitable option for most homeowners. Another appealing quality about white walls is that if it's not a color someone is going for, the color is easy to paint over.
