"Mark came quickly and gave us an estimate . They were ready to start within a few days and came when they said they would. They removed the wallpaper and had to do a significant amount of patching and sanding. They did the job effectively and efficiently. They left our home cleaned up and ready to paint. The walls were in excellent condition. We would hire them again."

"The Smart Choice Painting crew applied solid stain to my two decks in two colors: off-white ( 3 coats) and brown (2 coats). The crew was careful and worked continuously to complete the job in very warm weather. A third coat was necessary to for the light stain over a dark stain, a service provided at the original quoted price, which I considered quite reasonable. The owner of Smart Choice, Isaias Mejia, was very professional in our dealings both for this job and a similar stain application four years ago. The newly stained two-deck looks very good; both the contractor and I have taken many pictures. Smart Choice also power washed the siding on my house. They did an excellent job and were much neater and at a slightly lower cost than the previous contractor. Overall I have been very pleased with Smart Choice, Jim Stevenson"

"Jose did a great job. He was able to remove old, nasty wallpaper in our foyer and gave it a fresh look. He also installed crown molding in the foyer, painted the stairs and installed trim around the entrances to the other rooms. He performed his work on schedule, even if that meant working late to finish the project. Overall I would definitely recommend him and would use him in the future."

"I found Ray thru Home Advisor. Needed someone to remove the wallpaper in my son's bedroom and paint the entire room. Ray contacted me promptly to schedule a time for a free estimate. I was pleased with the estimate provided and hired him for the job. Following Christmas he removed all the wallpaper, prepped/fixed the walls, painted the entire room within 2 1/2 days. Ray is accommodating, personable, showed up on time each morning, cleaned up after working, removed the wallpaper with ease, and was meticulous in painting. I have more wallpaper to remove and painting to be accomplished in the spring...so we plan on doing more business with Ray in the near future."

"Star painting power washed and painted the whole exterior of our house 5 years ago. It has held up extremely well. We had some damage recently and called them to repair it. They were incredibly responsive & completed all the work going above and beyond in honoring our warranty on the work. Often times one is disappointed that people don't stand behind their work, but Star painting did - 5 years later - and even when the damage was not related to their work. I recommend them fully to anyone looking for quality work, and professionalism with customers. The cost of service quoted in this review is the original cost - they did not charge us for the recent repairs which was incredible!"

"Alex and his crew were extremely polite, hard working, and extremely detailed. The kitchen they primed and painted after we removed the wallpaper, came out beautiful. We will definitely be hiring them again to paint more of our home."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

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.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.
