"I was overjoyed to find Legacy Painting because I was looking for someone to remove wallpaper and paint. I had had two painters turn down the job because they found out that wallpaper removal was involved. Needless to say, I was overjoyed to meet Amy. She was reliable, extremely hardworking and professional. She did an incredibly immaculate job removing the wallpaper, repairing, priming, and painting the walls in my hallway. She quoted me a price, stuck to it, and got the job done, sometimes working on her own when I had to go out. Since practically my whole house has wallpaper, I will certainly be using her services again. She can definitely be trusted to do a fantastic job! After that project, I hired Amy to refinish my front wooden door which was dry as a bone and mildewed. Again, she did a beautiful job cleaning, sanding, and refinishing the door. She mixed her own stain, consulting with me on the color. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. In addition, for a small additional price, she stained some naughty dog scratches on two other wooden surfaces. I couldn't recommend her more highly."

"We contracted John to do the drywall in our 1920's home, but he ended up working with us for over two months because he could do everiything we needed done - fixing old floors, unsteady armoire, basement steps, kitchen floor, attic, antique kitchen unit, and creating an impressive built-in shelve unit - every carpentry project we had! John is not only a superb carpenter but he is pleasant and honest. We will defininitely hire John again!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

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.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.
