"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."

"Elite Finish Painting removed wallpaper and repainted a bathroom for us. Elite Finish Painting also repaired and repainted the dining room ceiling after a plumber had cut holes in it to get at a clogged pipe. For both the bathroom and the dining room, they were professional and meticulous about their work. They were always on time and completed the work in the time-frame they quoted."

"I would say it went ok. Todd came out quickly to review the job to see what would could be done in the 40 hour block. Todd looked at all the areas I wanted painted and then said he was at like 37 hours so I added a small bedroom to get to the 40. However, the 40 hours was not enough and the MBR bath did not get painted as planned under the 40 hours. The explanation was the dark color on the walls required more time to cover and a bit more time on minor wall repairs... this is true but I would have expected this to have been taken into account during the estimate. Overall Todd was good to work with and the work quality was good. Going forward I would not purchase a service were you are buying a block of time but rather go a firm bid for an entire job."

"Dennis Nagel and his two man crew spent 3 days scraping the exterior of
the house. They did a complete and detailed job removing peeling paint
from the cedar shakes. I was impressed how hard they worked at scraping. They barely took any breaks. Tarps were placed under all areas scraped and the paint chips were disposed by the crew. They taped and covered windows and then applied the primer.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
They were prepared to start painting the following day but the weather didn't
cooperate. They removed the plastic for the weekend and on Monday taped
and hung the plastic again.
Dennis and crew started painting in the
morning, but when it got hot in the afternoon they stopped so the paint
could dry naturally.
Overall they did an excellent job and was more
concerned about quality  than speed. It took a couple of days
longer than expected but that was due to additional time scraping and the
hot weather.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation.
