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.

"I don't think they knew what they were walking into. I had tried to remove the wallpaper in my master bedroom myself and left a ton of the glue behind. They sanded, patched and painted the entire room and even stayed over the time I paid for to get the job done. It looks fantastic. A+ job I plan on using them again for any future painting needs I have.

Edson was very responsive after I left a message. I needed to rush and have the work done immediately and Edson made this happen. His crew, Fernando, did a great job to remove the wallpaper, skim-coat, and paint the living room. I was very happy with the work and I will go back to Edson the next time I need to do a paint job.

"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!"

"Mike called me back immediately after I left a message for an estimate.  It was a standard sized room for them and he was able to quote me without seeing it.  His price was the best that I found and he was the most responsive.  We were able to schedule the job within a week and that matched my schedule.  Mike and his crew member arrived on time and performed the bulky work (remove carpet and sand) the first day.  The best part was that we had heard horror stories of the dust caused by sanding and had taped up all our rooms on that floor to avoid it.  Amazingly, there was a very minimum of dust, not enough to even complain about, and we were able to feel a little silly about all the precautions that we took!  Mike and crew did a great job refinishing the floors, he came back two more days to add two more coats.  They were quiet and respectful of the house and were in and out in a few minutes each day.  Mike was kind enough to leave windows slightly open to let the smell out as much as possible each day.  The varnish did stink, but it can't be helped.  The floor glows now and we're very happy with it.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.

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. 

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.
