"Omar did a fabulous job installing our wallpaper. He was very responsive and promptly came out for a quote! While quoting he also was able to help us determine how much wallpaper would be needed for the job. I ordered the wallpaper after our quote and he promptly came out to install about a month later when the Wallpaper arrived. I am thrilled with the way the room turned out! Omar was very careful and even reached out to the company for installation recommendations the day before install. There was very little waste at the end which is great because wallpaper can be expensive! I am thrilled with the quality of work and felt he was reasonably priced. I can’t wait to start my next wallpaper project. I will definitely be calling Omar!"

"M&H Painting did an incredible job. They addressed every flaw in the wall.... popped drywall screws, small cracks, ceiling drywall issues so that it they are fixed perfectly. They show up on time and finish on time. They replace everything they move so it's as if they were never there. By far the best paint job at a very fair price I have experienced. I highly recommend Honorio and his team!"

"They did it all in one day. Had one little problem, most people would have taken care of it themselves but I’m disabled and they came back to help me as my house was for sale. Too many comments about the wallpaper so it had to be removed. The house sold two days later!!! Thanks for the great job well done."

"I called Blue Crew Painters to get an estimate. The estimated it for 1735 for painting the house which includes the cost of the paint and labour. I have asked them to paint my condo with Sherwin-Williams paint. To my surprise, they started painting my condo with PPG Paint without informing me about the change. the quality of work is good. Mr Aker is a skillful man. I really like his skill. I would recommend him for his craftsmanship.
But, I have problems with a month after painting, i see many dark translucent spots on my walls. I suspect this may be due to to the quality of the paint. I have tried to contact Aker several times. I get a response but i do not have a solution yet. I wish, for the price they have quoted for a 800Sq Ft condo, i get a better quality paint.

Albert?s man came in at 9:30am.  He had the wallpaper and the glue removed by noon, the walls patched (my walls didn?t need much patching) and primed by 2:30pm and the main coat of paint completed by 4:00pm.  He didn?t hesitate when I asked him to also paint/freshen up the trim.  He even walked in with trim paint in his hand and asked about it before I asked.  He did a fantastic job that I refuse to do myself and I do a lot of my own home repair and upgrading.  He covered my new cabinets and countertops to protect them.  He cleaned everything and left no mess of any kind.



I highly recommend Albert?s team of good hard workers that take the time to do the job right and attention to detail.  I?ll be calling them back in a few months to repaint my entire family room.  Thank you Albert for the great job.

"Can’t say enough good things about this team. Not only do they do excellent work (I am very picky and don’t say excellent often), they are the ultimate professionals. Arrive on time, keep things clean (which is very hard when removing popcorn), regularly communicate status and timeframes, and work hard. Literally couldn’t ask for anything more. Originally, we only asked them to remove the wallpaper and popcorn ceiling. Once we saw how good their work was, we asked them to repair some drywall in another area and do some painting. Highly recommend and would absolutely hire again. You can’t go wrong with David and his team."

"This is the second time I've hired them. First, Luis came and assessed the work needed, recommended types of paint, and gave his estimate, which I accepted. The crew arrived at 7:30 and began blocking off walls, rugs, and outdoor furniture. They worked quickly, quietly, and professionally and finished in two days. No paint or stain got where it wasn't supposed to and they made sure to put everything back where it was when they finished. It was an excellent experience and I'll work with them for future jobs."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

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.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

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.
