"We couldn’t be more impressed! Dennis was absolutely meticulous!!! He went above and beyond. He successfully removed some wallpaper, and was quite knowledgeable of the process as well ask how to safely do this. He kept the house so neat and clean during his work and there wasn’t a speck of paint on the floor after he left! He prepped the walls, filling MANY holes, and you’d never be able to tell! We couldn’t be happier!!! Thanks Dennis!!!! Highly highly recommend!!!"

"Jay and his team did a great job on my project. They were respectful of my time and space, keeping the job on track with the timeframe quoted to me. They were also one of the cleanest companies I have worked with. There was nothing left for me to do once they were done, but enjoy the space. I would highly recommend."

"We had significant house and barn repairs. From the beginning Clayton was prompt, courteous and reliable. He replaced a completely rotted out basement window, a rotted out house window sill, replaced custom decking on entry steps (great wood recommendation and finish), and fixed a barn/shed door which had literally fallen off the hinges (included frame replacement and installed a metal splash fixture to prevent future rot). Clayton has a good sense of how to repair and to prevent future problems based on his many years of experience and all at a reasonable rate."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

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.

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.

Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.
