"Jeff and his crew are wonderful. They were all very efficient and meticulous , and nice! They were all a pleasure to have around. Jeff was able to accommodate our crazy work and childcare schedule, completing our whole house project within 2 weeks. We needed full 2 story home wallpaper removal, wall prep, and paint. Some of the walls needed patching or repairs, and he took care of those as well. I really appreciated him giving us a variable estimate, with a high amount that was the maximum of what it could be.. Because he was not sure the actual total time of repairs and prep. In the end, our total was a bit lower than we had prepared for. They use/provide Benjamin Moore paint. Wonderful. We absolutely recommend Jeff and this business."

"Louis and John are experts at painting. They are neat, efficient, and were great with my home’s 100 year-old plaster walls. I found them to be hard working, on-time, and respectful to my home like it was their own. I highly rate the quality of their paint and of their painting."

"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."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

Costs depend on wallpaper type, wall condition, labor, and necessary repairs.
