"I hired Andrew to remove wallpaper which I thought would be a difficult job but he had it off in less than 3 hours. He then had to apply a skimcoat to the walls . Andrew is very knowledgeable in his trade and did a great job. If I ever need these services again I would have no reservations on hiring him again."

"Painting by Jerry Wind is in a category all to themselves for painting! They are exceptional in every way. We are a repeat customer (second house they've worked on for us) and they have now painted the entire exterior of our current home (June 2021) and 90% of the interior (June 2018 and June 2021.) From the first contact, they are responsive and in close contact with you. When Jerry tells you he will call you "a week from today to give you a precise start time for your job", he means it. You don't need to chase them down. They communicate with you throughout the project and there are no surprises. They sincerely want you to be a happy customer. The onsite crews at our home have been led by foreman Marlon Reynosa. He is truly outstanding! It is apparent that he loves what he does and the crews were all on-time (every single day of the 3-week project), skilled, respectful, clean, courteous, pleasant, and professional. Their attention to detail is unmatched! They needed to hand paint several large sections of our house due to an abundance of windows, exterior stonework, and landscaping. To a person, they were focused on getting the job done with attentiveness and high quality. One of their crew members, Juan, was focused on the interior study which required stripping wallpaper, repairing the drywall as needed, patching, and painting. The study has a built-in desk and cabinetry, so there were some tricky spots to get to. Juan was patient and diligent. As he concluded the third coat of paint (highly saturated color), he edged (vacuumed) along the base molding to be sure any dust or debris was removed. The study was spotless when he left and ready to go. Marlon worked hard to get us the right color match for the exterior, which we had struggled with in trying to do some previous touch-ups ourselves. At the conclusion of the job, they removed old and incorrect paint cans, labeled the new paint cans, and stored them for us. There is no question you pay a premium for their services, but in our opinion, anyone offering a lower bid will also do a lower quality job. It may not be a bad job, but it won't be to this level of quality. (That has been our experience with other painters.) You get what you pay for with Painting by Jerry Wind and, in our opinion, they are well worth it! We will likely hire them again when we remodel our main bedroom suite so they can finish the 10% of our interior they haven't yet touched! What a wonderful company with great people!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

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 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.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.
