"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!"

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they’re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. 

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

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.

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.

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.
