"One of the best decisions I have made as a homeowner was contacting Brian for a painting project in our kitchen. The original wallpaper was dated and peeling, the space felt limited and closed off, and it needed his vision to make it the true “heart of the house.” From the initial contact to the last walkthrough, which was within a span of just four days, he made me and my wife feel like valued customers. The estimate was fair and the workmanship was beyond excellent. Brian met with us every morning to inspect the space and point out what needed to be done to his crew. During these conversations, I got to witness how he interacts with his employees. He genuinely embraces Richard Branson’s philosophy that if “you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.” The two men that performed the job were skilled, diligent, and clean in their work. Kennedy Painting transformed our space from being someone else’s kitchen to our kitchen. I look forward to using Brian’s services again and I will absolutely refer my friends and family to him without reservation."

"I'm a Realtor and I hired Mike to install wall paper in my bath and paint walls and ceilings in my home. He did excellent work including cathedral ceilings in foyer and master bedroom; he worked with a critical eye; patching settlement cracks and nail pops as well. He arrived on time and was super neat and clean. Another contractor damaged the bathroom wall AFTER the wallpaper had been put up. I asked Mike back to fix it. Not only did he fix the patch job that the contractor did because he felt it was not done good enough, but he did not charge us for his work! He said he wanted us to be happy with the work AND it was not his fault we had to have him back. We insisted on paying him for it, but had to guess how much to give him because he didn't want us to pay. I recommend Mike to all my clients who are looking for his services; he is EXCELLENT, reasonably priced, and I can't speak highly enough about him."

"I was in desperate need for someone to connect my gas dryer for me & remove the old gas dyer. I rang Rick & told him what I needed, I sent him an email confirming all my information & within minutes Rick had answered & confirmed what time he would be at my home. Rick was courteous, on time & knowledgeable. Will definitely hire again."

"Mario did a fantastic job painting our new nursery - walls, trim and ceiling. After having a cancellation with another service provider earlier in the week, we contacted Mario and he came out next day to assess and quote the room. Two days later he was here to do the work - on time and on the budget we discussed. He came prepared with all of his equipment, showed us the paint color to confirm before he started and got right to work and finished in half a day! He was extremely personable and professional and we would highly recommend him for any job. We hope to work with Mario again the future!"

"Offered same-day estimate, was easy to schedule the work. Removed wallpaper and painted room in the same day. I purchased the paint and paid for other needed materials, which presented an additional cost over the initial quote. Very courteous and did a good job cleaning up after the work was complete."

"JMC Painting performed high-quality work with great care and attention to detail, that clearly is based on skill, experience, and old school work ethic. Also, they were eager to please and ensure satisfaction with a great attitude that is uncommon to find these days. From the first moment of contacting them, Justin has been extremely communicative. They only do one job at a time and are always working together as a team. Highest quality materials were used, including some products of which we were unaware. All that said, pricing was very fair. Without a doubt, we have no concern and are extremely happy to give JMC Painting the highest recommendation without reservation."

"Cobra Painting was very professional. We had a quote from another person who had done work for us before but had to drop out. I contacted Ron from from Cobra Painting and he and Larry came over the next day a Friday, to see the the room and received a quote as promised, on Monday. We, accepted and they came that Friday and completed the job in one day. They caulked both windows put made the base board flush with the wall that was to be papered. The also called all the nail holes in the wood work and sanded. They did a great job putting up the wallpaper and the painting. I am very particular about pattern matching and the wallpaper looks great. The cleaned up after themselves and left the floor cleaner than the found it."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

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. 

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

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.
