"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

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

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

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

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.

Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.
