"Andrew did an amazing job removing my bathroom wallpaper and painting the walls. I had attempted to do the job myself, removing a good amount of the wallpaper but did a terrible job. I even removed a small bit of drywall, so I gave up my attempt in completing it. Andrew transformed my mess into a beautiful end product. I was extremely pleased. Andrew was a hard worker and accomplished the job in just a few days. He was very polite and professional. I will definitely hire him again for more wallpaper removal and painting."

"I checked them out prior to hiring and got glowing reports. Leo and his crew are experts in their craft. Honest, dependable, friendly, efficient, trustworthy, on time, and did a fabulous job in record time! Nice, nice people! It was a big job in a large home with lots of very difficult wallpaper removal. Perfect wall repair and then great paint job. I am recommending High Rollers to everyone I know in the real estate industry."

"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!"

"I hired Elite Finish Painting to paint my guest bathroom. They removed a wallpaper border, did appropriate prep work and then painted the walls. The house painters were fair priced, accommodating, efficient and pleasant to work with. They were very careful not to make a mess. In fact they were meticulous. They responded to my requests in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend Elite Finish Painting. I would certainly use their service again."

"Todd's work was excellent. He repaired walls to eliminate cracks and visible sheet rock seam lines. His work was impeccable, and he worked efficiently. He was especially considerate of our cat and dog. He was easy to work with and be around. He lived up to his word - he did all that he said he would, and it was done very well. We would happily rehire or refer him."

"Perfection! I would hire Felipe again in a heart beat! He and his crew did a fantastic job! Very professional, on time, and very friendly. I had an outlet in my wall that I didn't want and at the last minute asked them to removed it and repair the wall. Very easy going and accommodating. I had bumpy walls from removing built in cabinets and another painting company said it wasn't fixable and I had to live with it since my house was older. Not Felipe. He said no problem and they did a beautiful job smoothing out the wall. I also had a medallion I wanted to add to my light fixture in my entry that is , I'm not sure, maybe 24 feet high. No one else would tackle this because the chandelier was wide and they couldn't reach where the light attached to the ceiling. Felipe angled two ladders and three guys held on to it so that they could attach the medallion. It looked like a cirque du soleil act but they did it! No task was impossible for these guys! I will definitely use them again in the future."

"Leon, Shana, and Leon’s brother removed popcorn from the ceilings in several rooms and hallways and painted several rooms. They did an excellent job and the rooms looked great when they finished. I am hiring them to paint and remove popcorn from ceiling in two remaining rooms. They are very pleasant, hard-working, reasonably priced, and trustworthy. One couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend them."

"We are very pleased by the work Mel and his crews have done. We initially wanted to repaint the kitchen (we had wallpaper) and the approach Mel suggested worked very well and saved us money. We end up doing more than the kitchen. For the kitchen we decided to go with the faux paint and it looks great (I recommend it). For the rest of the project it was plain color but the paint (Mel took care of this) matched perfect the sample we got (until now, the ones we got from Home Depot never quite match the colors with the sample). They worked very fast and clean. They addressed the few corrections we requested."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

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.
