"MAJOR work was done on my moms house by Ryan's Painting and his crew! Tom Ryan choose colors that are trendying and gave the whole house - (which is living room, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchen a fresh modern look and feeling of spaciousness. , They removed window A/C units to do moldings and window trims.. They ripped up old rugs to get to the hardwood floors underneath and stained them with a color that made the rooms pop with appeal. They powerwashed the outside cement and white marble patio bringing it back to its original luster and shine. Whatever they used on the basement floor made it look AMAZING. They worked professionally all day long everyday for over three weeks to get the house ready and cleaned up every night, even knowing they would be back the next day. I would so high recommend Tom Ryan for his professionalism and dedication to his job and his pricing came in more than reasonable. Will absolutely hire for any further jobs."

"We had our entire new 3k+ square ft home’s interior, including trim painted and it turned out fantastic! Martha, Tony and crew were exceptional. Not only was the ease of doing business, the cost of the project, and professionalism all great but the quality and meticulousness was over the top. They did so good that we kept them on to do all of the cabinets in our home. They also removed some built-in furniture and repaired the trim etc as well as fixed some ceiling damage caused by our movers. It all looks brand new. We couldn’t be happier with AMC and will definitely employ them again and recommend them for sure."

"Roberto is the best in the business! I have used other people in the past and had to have the door redone the next year! Not with Roberto! He only uses high quality weather resistant products and pays attention to detail. He contained his interior fumes and workspace very professionally and was a joy to work with. He may not be the cheapest quote you get, but you get what you pay for with Roberto! Quality!"

"We hired Messer & Sons to paint our house at Oak Island. Living 300 miles away, we had to rely on referrals as we did not know personally anyone to hire. We HIGHLY recommend Messer and Sons as they were easy to work with, did high quality work, and price their work fairly. You will not be disappointed if you rely on them! Roger & Sherry J."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

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.

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.

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.

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.
