"After talking to several painters, I hired A+  to strip wallpaper and paint several rooms in my house in preparation for resale. The service, price and quality of workmanship was exceptional. The work needed presented a few special challenges -- restoring damaged wall surfaces and matching discontinued paint colors -- but the time and attention  was given to overcome the obstacles and get the job done right. I would not hesitate to use this provider again.

"He is very professional. I would definitely recommend him. The only thing I can say is that he doesn't speak fluent English but we were still communicating very well. Everything was finished on time. He was always answering the phone when I had questions which is important for me because I've had people who would disappear. He never did that. He did a perfect job. There is nothing that I can complaint about, absolutely zero."

"Two River Group was amazing. We originally hired them to work on mold removal when we moved into our new home. Then they ended up doing a lot of other little projects like laying a new floor and setting up our laundry room. Really nice workers and management is punctual and professional. And then when our house was hit by lightningc, they repaired the garage and made it look like new!"

We had a little back and forth on determining the day--not sure why Angie's List gives date options, it should be discussed with the provider either prior to hire or shortly after.

Denny arrived as scheduled. He let me know of potential issues (uneven walls, prior spackling that prevented him from removing the switch plate). The completed job looks great! Denny was professional--all surfaces protected, thorough clean up. I would definitely would hire Professional Touch of Cape May again.

"Dave figured out the best solution.  He and his worker dug the trenches and covered the pipes with the patches of grass after they installed the pipes, pump, & pop-up drain.  It was a very professional job and works great so far.  I have not seen the yard flooded since he did this work.  He kept in touch with me by phone and email since I was not there the whole time as it is my summer home. 
This is the third time I had Dave back to do work.  I had major damage from Hurricane Sandy and on 4/13/13 he also did work for me.  He worked in my crawl space.  He replaced insulation, cleaned joists with an antimicrobial agent and then painted them with antimold resistant paint, replaced a vapor barrier, installed a sump pump, repaired foundation vents, and filled cracks in my foundation.  All for a resonable price!  Dave is honest, fair and very professional.  He always returns my calls in a timely manner.  I will call on him again for future work.

"I contacted their office to schedule an estimate and was able have an estimate right away. Doug Minerva came to my home, he was courteous, helpful and made suggestions on the areas to be painted, such as doing an accent color on the main wall in the Great Room and adding trim to make counter tops to make it more decorative. Extremely professional from start to finish. They arrived at their scheduled time .They cleaned up well at the end of each day and put all moved furniture and appliances back to where they belonged. The job was completed in a week and the crew was polite and considerate the entire time.
We are very happy with the work that was completed in our home. Everything looks great and I get some many compliments on my counter tops!!!  We would highly recommend this contractor.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.
