"It went very well. They helped clear the room and covered everything. They were very nice and easy goin. Alan was really late the day he did the estament as well as the first day of work but it was well worth it. They did an excellent job. I couldn't be happier and the cost was super reasonable."

"Very neat and professional job.  This was a large job estimated at 2 weeks - essentially the whole 2nd floor of the residence.
Started by taping and covering floor with resin paper, then cloths on top of that.  Everywhere - including closets.
- We went with smooth walls vs. orange peel and Dave's team did a great job of preparing and finishing the plaster & lath walls prior to prime/paint.  They took the time to do it correctly rather than "patch" it.  Large open stairwell had wallpaper that was removed before prep and painting.  They corrected imperfections in closets as well - even cuttting and installing a piece of drywall to the ceiling of one where some of the plaster was too loose to safely repair.
- Ceilings were patched before paint, but having older sand texture paint, were not able to be smoothed as well as walls.
- All baseboard, door & window trim was sanded and primed with all old caulk and built up paint removed at joints.  Most imperfections from older paint was removed before priming over the old latex and covering with oil based.  Same level of detail with the original 5 panel doors. 
Again, this was a large job on an old home.  Compliments to Dave, Lynn and their team.  They were organized, hard working and very polite.  They have the equipment needed to do the job and cleaned up every night before leaving.  The work is professional and will last.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

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.
