"We have used Honorio and his crew for two properties. I highly recommend him. He is professional, timely, and a true craftsman. He painted all but two rooms in our home including walls, trim, molding, shelving, a fireplace, grasscloth wallpaper, and wainscotting. He also patched and painted our stairwell, patched and painted pet damage to a front door and cabinet. Honorio and his crew truly transformed our home."

"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."

"Albert was very prompt on the day that he came to do the estimate. He was very professional. We scheduled the work to start on the following Monday at 9 a.m. I had to call at 9:30 when he didn't show up. He was at my house within half an hour and was very apologetic. We had discussed the possibility of them starting on Saturday and he forgot to write our appointment time down. He had planned to only have one worker but due to the misunderstanding on the appointment day and time, he made up for it by bringing two people to strip the wallpaper to ensure that the job was completed in the two days allotted. The workers were very courteous. The second day only required one person to complete the work and she was very efficient but she did come a half hour later than she had told me the day before. She completed the job in just  few hours. I had not planned for the baseboard to also be painted so had not bought any paint for that part of the job. She called Albert who had her go to pick up some paint to do the baseboards at no extra charge. She put the room completely back together, tank on the toilet, towel rack back on the wall and asked for the switchplate and outlet plate which I had removed prior to them coming, so that she could put them back in place as well. The room was cleaned of all debris. I am very happy with the job that Albert's crew did and would definitely hire him again.

"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."

"Ray was very perceptive to our preferences. He was very clean, did great work, and noted when certain darker colors needed an extra coat. We would definitely call him first in the future for any painting needs!

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.

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.

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.

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.

As long as the surface you’re putting the tile on is properly prepped, peel-and-stick backsplashes should stay on and last anywhere from 3 to 5 years. The best way to ensure the tile stays on is to sand down and clean the wall before applying your design.
