"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!!!"

"Tony was professional and punctual. He asked me what I was hoping to spend and worked with me on the price. I asked him to do some extra work apart from my project and he did that in the time alloted as well, and for a reasonable price. (In fact, he offered the best price around). He met me on my schedule everytime and took care of everything, right down to a perfect clean-up, well under the time limit that I had. If I have any paint jobs in the future, I will call Tony first thing. Thanks Tony, it looks wonderful!!"

"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."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.
