"Overall the price seemed fair, but I felt like I had to probe to get important details rather than them being explicitly explained and discussed up front. Some of the questions I had to ask about included 'What type of paint is used?' and 'What will you do with furniture?' While we were upfront about needing to make a decision regarding who to hire, the bid came in a day later than promised (and again, only after I asked a second time for it). I also asked about a 10% coupon that is mentioned on Angie's List and was told it was automatically included, yet there was no itemization for it in the bid. I recognize that I have fairly high expectations when it comes to communication and level of detail provided by companies I hire, so that is something to consider when reading this review. I am sure they would have done a fair job, although I doubt the quality of the paint they use (Pro Mar 200) compared to Duration or Cashmere.

"Started on time, had some rain delays, but no one can paint in the wet. David, the owner, communicated with us regularly about said delays, and his crew always showed up when he said they would. His workers were at all times polite, accommodating and professional. Cleanup afterword was good, and some small things that needed attention were handled immediately. Our house looks great, which is the point, isn't it?
So refreshing to have contractors do what they are hired to do and do it on time, on budget and correctly."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.

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.

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

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.

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.
