"Wonderful experience with OC Construction! Wallpaper was removed quickly. Patching & painting was then performed and looks wonderful. We unfortunately had to delay the project multiple times after wallpaper removal & patching due to our project & railing replacement. OC was “extremely” understanding to say the least. They were so accommodating. Would definitely hire & work with them again. Highly recommend!!"

"We contracted with JAM Home Services (Jeff) to repair and paint walls, ceilings and closets in the living/dining room and 3 bedrooms of our house. We also asked about installing base board where missing/damaged and also installing shoe molding in all rooms (we had just had carpeting removed and hardwood floors refinished), While his was not lowest estimate for the project, we were impressed with his knowledge, suggestions for successful completion and his professionalism. At our request, he suggested several colors that would work with the hardwood floors. We agreed on a start date, which had to be firm, to meet a specific timeline to place our house on the market. A week before start date, he checked in with us to be sure we still on schedule. As it happened, other projects were already completed, so he started a week earlier than planned and completed the project withing the 4 days he had originally estimated. We could not have been more pleased with the result! Each day, the work space was cleared and cleaned, except for drop cloths left to protect floors. He repaired a baseball-sized hole in the wall in one bedroom, repaired a crack in the plaster above a door in the living room, filled all nail holes. The paint on all ceilings, wall and closets was smooth and even - no messy corners or bleeding edges. The new base boards and and shoe molding were such great enhancements to the rooms. We highly recommend JAM Home Services for anyone with home repair or improvement project needs!"

"My experience in working with Mr. Jones and his painting crew was simply superb. My siblings and I needed to sell our family home, but many serious updates were needed before we listed it. Phil was very kind and patient with us when we had to reschedule a time or 2, due to unforeseen circumstances. The 2-story, 2,000 sq. ft. house had not been painted properly for many years, and needed extensive prep work, including the removal of wallpaper, the painting over of dated, dark paneling and and the fixing of a damaged ceiling. The Flawless Painting crew completed all of this work extremely well. Mr. Jones and his crew painted the house, inside and out, and it looks beautiful and brand new! All details were attended to. We listed the house when Phil's crew finished, and had a great offer within a few short days. I have to think that it was the beautiful paint job that sold the home. Flawless Painting Company is indeed Fabulous!"

"I want them to paint the ceiling in 3 rooms, a bathroom and also some of the walls. I have only lined up the job and they haven't come out to get the job done. They said they had other jobs to do before they would come out to my house. They are supposed to come before Thanks Giving. They have been really good so far. They quoted about a 100 $ for a room, but I am not sure about the total amount."

"It went fantastically! I couldn't be happier with the work. From Mike's responsiveness to my request for a quote, and his helping me with questions I should have for the roofers, to Dennis's submission of the quote and finally to Tom and the team who worked on the house. They were neat, professional, and really took care of the house. There were portions of the old gutter and fascia that were ignored by the roofers, and Tom and team replaced the wood and even small detail decorative pieces. They removed about 50 years of rust from the cast iron railing and painted to look like new! Plus they made a new shelf for the side of the house -- I didn't even ask for!"

"We started what we called our Covid-19 Project. We were remodeling the powder room. After removing the existing tile on the floor, we discovered the floor wasnâ t leveled. Matt came and fixed the floor and the toilet flange. He was professional and on time. We are satisfied with the work he did. I would recommend him"

"They were awesome! They removed wallpaper from all of the walls in our large family room, then prepped and painted the walls. They did a beautiful job, very attentive to detail and extremely neat. We are thrilled with the result, and will definitely have them do more work for us!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.
