"Rich and his crew were superefficient and did a great job. Both rooms needed some wall repair, and one had a lot of woodwork including a full wall of shelving, all painted a dark color. Took several coats of primer and finish paint to cover it, but it looks great. They worked quickly and had the job done in just three days, including helping me clear the shelves beforehand. Will definitely use them again; in fact, they'll be back in the spring for another job."

"OnCall Wallpaper has done 7 separate jobs for me- each one more increasingly difficult than the next and each one executed flawlessly which is why we keep coming back!! Gerard is a true pleasure to work with, he is professional, courteous, kind and has very fair, competitive and reasonable pricing. He truly wants to make projects work for his customers. Him and his crew are true masters at their skill - we’ve had him hang high end custom murals, grass cloth, extremely intricate designs that required precise and very difficult matching, strange shaped rooms, small rooms and gigantic rooms, repair work to existing wallpaper, and rooms that needed a ton of wall prep work before they could be wallpapered. Gerard and his team have completed each with stunning precision and care, and in very timely turnarounds. Crew is extremely kind, friendly and tidy. If you are looking for a high end experience, and want your project to come out more beautiful than expected every time- look no further than OnCall for all of your wallpaper needs- no matter the difficulty or size of the project!"

"I largely chose Fabricio/Sunyay based on the reviews on this site. My experience, however, was disappointing. Bottom line, I would not hire him again. Pros: - Responsive, always replied to messages/calls - Prompt, never late to meetings Cons: - Poor attention to detail: Upon inspecting the finished work, there were cracks that were not caulked, nails that were not removed from the wall, etc. - Sloppy work: Paint on windows, paint dripping off cabinets onto the floor. He did not protect the floor, nor does it appear that he used any tape for clean edges. - He left refuse all over the apartment, did not sweep up or clean off appliances that were showered in debris. Most disappointing of all, he was painting over walls that were a bluish/grey. We agreed on 2 coats of paint, and although he claims to have done 2 coats, the bluish/grey color was still visible. If Fabricio took pride in his work, he would have done a 3rd coat, which in a studio apartment, is not a lot of work, but he did not."

"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!"

"outstanding job. not easy to find a company that does small jobs, got an estimate within 2 days, job performed 2 days later. had a partial popcorn ceiling and did not want to have it removed (messy and expensive), these guys blended in a new partial popcorn ceiling and it matched perfectly. Arrived on time, finished on time and did a neat professional job. a pleasure to deal with. Office personnel friendly and responsive. Highly recommend."

"Steve and his team were punctual, professional and highly meticulous. Every wall and ceiling was prepped, sanded and patched, with the utmost care, before painting. There was a sand-based faux finish throughout the house that we wanted removed. We had consulted with several other painters before selecting Landis Painting, and the others did not know how to handle the faux finish or said it would be time consuming and very expensive to remove. Steve and the team handled it very well, using a special sanding machine that captures the dust so no tarping is required. Steve consulted knowlegeably on other painting issues too, and investigated best products for the specific job at hand (painting fireplace stone and exterior brick). Steve cares about the long term durability of his paint job and wants you to get value for what you pay. He is highly communicative and consultative throughout his team’s time at your home. I would use Landis painting again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them. Full five stars for Steve, Selso and Wilson!!!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

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.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

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.
