"Mark and Hayden did a wonderful job removing wallpaper from our two story hallway. The wallpaper was 35+ years old and the amount of glue used to hang the paper made the job very difficult. They had to tediously remove the glue and wallpaper backing material from the walls. Not only did they arrive on time, they worked neatly, spackled the walls, and left the area spotless."

"Excellent! John and Lou Maranca arrived every morning on time and came every day until the job was completed. They were interested in and conscious of our needs and requests and even agreeably accommodated a change of color after two of the walls were painted. They paid special attention to detail and were a pleasure to work with. We happily recommend Sunlight Contracting for your painting needs!"

"A and Z did wallpaper in my daughters room and did an amazing job. They were available the next day after I contacted them, brought all their own materials, and finished the job in under an hour. The wallpaper looks absolutely gorgeous you can’t see any seams and everything is beautiful!"

"Jose and his team were excellent! The wallpaper in our home was difficult to remove, so I was concerned. Despite the challenges, the walls are now perfectly smooth and the paint looks amazing. When Jose saw a flaw in the ceiling spackle after the job was complete, even though the flaw was not visible during the day, he came back the next evening to correct the issue and had the area repainted. The team also respackled and repainted a wall to correct the shoddy work of a previous painter, and the wall now looks perfect. The work was done with the highest possible quality, better than any other painter we've hired. Jose and his team displayed true integrity and pride in their work. I would recommend them to everyone!"

"Miguel was efficient and very easy to work with. The wallpaper removal was not an easy task, but he got it done and painted. We are definitely pleased with the results. We're having him back for another job too."

"You can't do better, in my opinion. Price is reasonable and quality of work is very high. They took care of wallpaper removal, popcorn ceiling removal, drywall repair and painted my entire place. Howard and his team are extremely reliable, detailed, thorough and clean. He doesn't overcharge and did an amazing job removing the popcorn ceilings from my entire place - which has sloped, high and angled ceilings with various cuts - and his estimate for that portion of the work was much lower than anyone else's."

"My overall experience with Star painting Services was excellent. The quality of the work was outstanding. I appreciate that any time I checked on the progress Sacha and Jose would explain what was going on and would give me time tables on when things would be completed. They constantly communicated and when I was unsure about what was needed they either made recommendations or told me exactly what to get.  I would recommend these guys to anyone needing painting or wallpaper removal done.

"I called in May to schedule the work and went over the requirements with Tony.  He said he'd probably be able to get to me in June.  Near the end of June he called and we set up a time to start the work.   The work went well.  He and his partner power washed and prepped all the surfaces before starting to paint and they cleaned up after themselves each day.  Tony was able to match the existing color of the wood trim, which was a requirement of my home association.  Everything came out very nice.  There were some missed spots on the lower part of the deck rails but he quickly took care of those.  Tony also painted bits which I hadn't thought of asking about, like the gas pipes and electric meter housing.  This made the whole appearance of the exterior more consistent.  The only hiccups came in communication about what colors to use before the work had begun but this was sorted once they got started.  One thing I hadn't expected was having to remove the screens from our windows which Tony had asked that we do before he started painting the trim.  I thought it was going to be a pain the neck, but it turned out to quite easy to do.  All in all a good experience.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.
