"T’s Wallcovering saved the day! A long sad story short, I had hired another wallpaper installer who completely botched the job on my commode in the master bath. I was now desperate, with one week before contractor completion, to find a competent wallpaper installer or send back all the wallpaper and just paint the darn room! In swings T’s Wallcovering! Trevor was immediately responsive via text message. He was upfront about how many rolls I would need and his quote was more than resonable. He worked with my schedule when the wallpaper didn’t arrive on time and was extremely flexible. His partner, Mikey, and Trevor were more than professional. They finished the job in less than 3 hours and left the room spotless. I couldn’t be happier with T’s Wallpaper service, and wish I had more rooms to wallpaper so I could use them again! You won’t be disappointed if you choose :)"

"BEST experience!! Owner great, all workers great as well! On time, kept in touch with me at all times during process when I wasn't at house (just purchased house and having work done before moving in). GREAT work on the popcorn ceiling removal and areas where drywall had separated from ceiling, and replaced tape in a lot of areas that had come down. Did a very good job in cleanup every time they left for the day. I will for sure hire him when the outside needs to be painted and highly recommend SG Painting!"

"Mike was very professional from the first phone call. He came that evening when he said he would to give us a estimate.
We originally called for a estimate on staining our fence front and back and after talking with Mike we also asked him to pressure wash the house. He came when he said he would and did everything we asked, he even went the extra mile and stained our yard swing the same color as the fence.
We were so happy with the job he did on the fence we then asked him to stain our deck, we had tried to stain it on our own last year and had really made a mess. He had to work really hard to get the stain off but he did a great job and our deck looks so good.
It was a pleasure to work with Mike and we are very pleased with the work he did and will definitely use him again. He is prompt and does a high quality job. Our fence and deck look great and we have received compliments from friends and neighbors, we highly recommend him.

"Hard working crew. What would have taken an average crew of 4, 2 weeks to finish, these guys did in 5 days. Owner came within an hour to give estimate. I added a couple of small jobs after the estimate and they charged no extra. These guys know exterior and interior restoration. Our log home hadn’t been treated in over 10 years but no looks better than ever. Project Foreman presented me with any issues as he found them and gave me options. My neighbors have now hired them.

"We hired Unique (Dylan) after getting positive recommendations from other Maggie Valley resiednts. We originally hired him for interior painting of walls, trim and ceilings. He did a beautiful job. He took the time to prep the areas, and covered all our belongings and floors. He took the time to explain how 2 coats would be necessary to do the job we wanted. And he was right. After finishing, we decided that he could do a beautiful job on the kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities. He did a professional job refinishing the old cabinets and made them look brand new. We are more than pleased with his work and would recommend him for your job. He is also good at providing communication and pictures to document his progress. Thanks, Dylan. Great Job!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

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.

Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.
