"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 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 was hosting Christmas Dinner at my house this year, and was running a tight schedule. I needed my kitchen's wallpaper removed and paint redone asap as it was getting old, peeling and fading. I organized a price and a time with Tim and Charlene, and they handled everything perfectly. They came a tad early, finished everything we needed to, stuck to the agreed price, and gave some extra maintenance and style advice! They were dutiful and professional, and I constantly felt like they wanted this to go well for me. Absolutely going to call them next time I need a room painted."
"Work was meticulously done. If any spackling did not dry to the painter's standard he redid it. Floors were swept/vacuumed after scraping. Drop cloths were used over rugs/furniture, paper was taped over wood floor. Some walls did not dry smoothly because of rain (and damaged walls) and he re-spackled and touched up any spots required. I have already referred him to a neighbor looking for painting/wallpapering."
"Todd and Kim were consummate professionals completing our painting and wallpapering in a meticulous, careful manner. They worked tirelessly without supervision and exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend them for any painting or wallpapering job."
"1) Very responsive and clearly motivated to customer satisfaction. Of the three calls I placed for a bid, they were the fastest and most responsive to my request. They work on Sat's and are easily reachable. 2) Price - very reasonable 3) Quality of work - very detail orientated. We had a very difficult wallpaper to remove from the ceiling (yes, not sure whey people wall paper the ceiling) with alot of glue and they removed and made the surface very smooth. They prep the rooms very well, were very neat and tidy. The paint work was well done. 4) Over and beyond - my husband was trying to shovel 18" of snow off our front walkway. Andreas offered to bring their snowblower for us to use. They were very kind and did not have to offer but they did. Ultimately, it helped us dig our way of the snow!"

To determine how many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper you need, measure the square footage of the walls you’re covering and divide that by the square footage that each roll covers. Add 10% to 20% of your total square footage to account for pattern matching or damage while installing.
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.
Deciding between a lighter or darker accent wall depends on the effect you’re going for. Choosing an accent wall in a lighter color will make a room feel brighter and more spacious and complement rooms with less natural light. A darker accent wall will add drama and depth to a room and help make larger rooms feel more cozy and intimate.
Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay.
Having dated, peeling, or otherwise damaged wallpaper can decrease the value of your property, so removing that before listing your house is nearly always a good idea; however, since wallpaper tends to be a personal style choice, potential buyers may or may not love your aesthetic as much as you do.
Love the look of wallpaper but want to consider property value as well? Stick with something that is easy to change. If you are thinking of selling soon, make sure your wallpaper hanging is on-point and looks professional with no crooked seams, evenly matched patterns, and minimal bubbling or other imperfections.
