"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!"

"It was a difficult project requiring the removal of current siding, then significant patching, sanding and carpentry to prepare the original clapboard for paint. The crew was very hard working and super creative when it came to solving problems. They showed up on time every day and finished the project according to schedule. The price was very reasonable and no surprise charges. We are very pleased with AAA and would highly recommend them."

"I've used Peter many times before in my old home, so when I purchased a new condo (that needed some work), he was the 1st on my list. He provides exceptional service in a friendly and professional manner. I've haven't been disappointed in the quality of his work yet. All the updates to my new condo look great (especially the vanity which required plumbing modifications)! I plan on using him again for other work next year. I would (and have) recommend him to others."

"Platinum Carpentry LLC was recommended to me by a friend. Ms. Elisa met with me personally to go over the work I was having done, and let me say from start to finish the service provided and the finished project was OUTSTANDING!! I was on vacation while the work was being done and when I came home and opened my door, it was like when Dorothy (from the Wizard of Oz) saw OZ for the first time. I was over come with joy. Beautiful work. The contractors cleaned up, removed all debris and left my space like new. The work was everything I asked for and more. The work was completed in the time line I was given and the costs was reasonable for the work done. Cudos to Elisa and her team at Platinum Carpentry LLC. Thanks"

"The job went really great from the beginning. Keith showed up early to the initial consultation. He came ready with business cards and paint swatches and listened to all my requests without interrupting. He toured the house and made notes of everything. He promised an estimate within 24 hours. He called me directly within that time. His estimate was in line with what I expected and half of another "contractor" whose specialty was not painting. Keith and Diane showed up when promised and informed me of their progress each day and if they needed to stay late they would. They even came on Sunday. This was a 2 week project and they worked hard each day, took their lunch and returned promptly in about an hour. They are true professionals who know paint and painting . Any unexpected issues, like paint bleeding, was handled well to stick to budget and schedule. I would hire them again without reservation."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

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.

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.
