"I was very pleased.  They were very responsive.  A handyman (Zach) came out right away and hung the blinds, fixed the doors.  Then the owner Doug came and diagnosed my condensation problem and figured out what to do.  Zach came back and opened the wall /insulated the duct, and then closed the holes required.  Zach put on the first coat of mud and the follow up visit was from the drywall specialist Luis.  He made two visits, one to complete the mudding (beautiful work) and a final visit to sand.  Everyone was prompt and professional.  I would use this company again.  The price was fair I thought, especially for the number of things I had done.

"The finished product was excellent. They made it look like a brand new room. They sent out 3 men and they worked very hard. The only complaint was that I had to provide the materials, which was very confusing to me at the home improvement store, not knowing what half of the stuff was. The work was beautiful and they tried hard to contain the dust, and worked every day straight through."

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.

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

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.

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.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.
