"I am very pleased with the quality of the expert work of wallpapering on both sides of my stairs. She was very professional, arrived on time and stayed within the timeframe she gave me to complete the job. Her price was excellent, too, and she cleaned up when finished. I highly recommend her."

"George's painting, inc was responsive and professional from start to finish. The project entailed wallpaper removal from 2.5 bathrooms and kitchen, repainting those rooms; installing a tile backsplash and vinyl tile floor in the kitchen; replacing the kitchen countertop; repairing a cabinet; repairing drywall and painting the ceiling in the master bedroom. The owner came out to do the estimate himself. He was accommodating when I wanted to expand the scope of the initial project and came out a second time to give me an updated estimate. He was easy to reach via cell or email. The estimate was more than fair. His crew completed the job in three days. The crew was polite, professional, and did a good job cleaning up at the end of each work day. I highly recommend this company and would use them again."

"Very responsive.  Met with me on short notice for an estimate while I was in town for a short visit.  It had been a rental property for 10 years and I live out of town but I wanted to fix it up for sale.  I felt very comfortable with his level of professionalism and compared him to other bids and found him well within range. He was also able to do the work of several contractors each doing one thing all under one contract and for a lower price than others combined.  He started work within two weeks of signing and stayed true to his estimated time line. 
 
He sent pictures of before and after the work and I am very happy.  He understood my budget limits and helped keep costs down but retain quality of paint, repairs and workmanship.
 
Inside the house we had carpet that, when removed, found there was more damage than expected.  He sent pictures of what he found and we talked candidly about changes to the contract with additional fees that were essentially at cost for materials with a small markup.
He was very helpful in keeping up communication with me, even being far away and letting me know how things were going and any decisions that needed to be made so I felt comfortable with the work being done.
I sent a property manager to review the end product with him and she gave high marks.  And she's a tough cookie.
Only problem is, now I wish I could move back in rather than sell it!

"JL painting exceeded my expectations! My previous contractor suddenly disappeared leaving me looking for a company to remove wallpaper and paneling. The team that worked at my house arrived early, stayed late, and worked the entire time they were here. They cleaned up after themselves both eveningsand on the third day for the touch up and finishing odds and ends they left my house in the condition they found it. The price was excellent! I would highly recommend their service."

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.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

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.
