"Jessica truly is a wallpaper wizard! My wallpaper is perfectly executed in my Victorian home, Even though the plaster uneven walls made the process more challenging. Jessica was fantastic with communication and expectations. She went above and beyond to make sure that the wallpaper with stick and would last and gave me follow up directions if it starts to come undone. I will certainly hire Jessica again!"

"It is a rule of thumb when hiring a contractor that you can get only two of the three things you look for-- price, quality, and reliability. Sunny is that rare contractor who gives all three! I especially appreciated his willingness to stick with the job until it was done the way I wanted it, adding some extras and repainting some areas to please me."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

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.
