"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."

"They also removed the existing shutters and installed our new shutters. They did a great job power-washing and prepping for painting. Their carpenter did an excellent job replacing several rotten clapboards and trim. From start to finish, every person, including the Sales and Office staff, was knowledgeable, professional, experienced, polite and easy to work with. The lead painter, Paulo, was exceptionally skilled, thorough, detail-oriented, and easy to communicate with. Each day of the job they showed up on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up everything at the end of the day. In short, we couldn’t be more pleased with the entire process and our final result. We highly recommend Target Painting."

"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."

"Paulo and his team were on time, professional, and highly skilled. MP Remodeling took down 20+ year old wallpaper in 3 rooms as well as hallways on two floors. Additionally they patched/repaired the walls. We brought them back to paint the rooms as well as trim and 10+ doors which were stained dark and are now painted brilliant white. We are going to hire them again for some upcoming projects."

"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!"

"He was very responsible and professional. His estimate was very reasonable and his work was excellent. We weren't given the choice of exactly what he did on this review. So I am putting what he did here. He and his wife removed the wallpaper and put up new."

"A neighbor recommended JMC Painting. I had only a small job, a portion of trim was peeling, but they were willing to do the small job. The peeling in that section has been a recurring problem, but now it looks better than it’s ever looked."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

Costs depend on wallpaper type, wall condition, labor, and necessary repairs.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

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