"Very nice family of four, instead of the promised two, but only one of them?Scott?  really a professional. I made the mistake of asking for an estimate to do an additional job for an extra (very reasonable) fee and therefore  the prepping for that (on the 23rd) and the follow-up on the 24th ( the scheduled painting day) came out of the pre-paid for time. This was really my fault , I now realize, for not sticking to the original program strictly which one should do with deals like this.  The extra job ended up not being done, depite the investment of time becasue the surface of the wall did not accept the repairs done to it. To illustrate the problem SCott began to chip off small  sections of the wall and thereby made it worse. The clock was ticking , though and so the three rooms that were to be done in the day that was prepaid were left without most of the trim being painted. And we still do not have a new day on which to complete the job. So all my furniture and art work are in disarray for another week. 
Another problem is that my leather couch was spattered with white paint. Drop cloths were used but the furniture must have been moved to paint the ceiling at some point and so the couch is probably ruined. I have tried numerous cleansers with caution to no avail. This is a big reason to be unhappy but Scott has said that he is in touch with furniture people that will advise him about how to remove paint from leather.
The price was too good to be true. In retrospect I realize that the painters were trying very hard not to lose too much money on this job and maybe rushing it thereby causing the damage. They are nice people and may be worthy of being given more work, but one needs to be vigilant and be sure that proper protection is done to furniture that is too heavy to move out of the painted rooms.
I may have them come back and do the repair that was begun...if they call me again. ANd if they clean up the couch...We shall see.

"She did a great job. She was very responsive when we called her. She came to the house to measure and give advice as to what type of paper to buy for the application that we wanted. We ordered the paper, and then as soon as it came in, we called her again and she was here within days. That is great. We had tried to do the silk wallpaper ourselves previously and it was a disaster."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it’s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You’ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.

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. 

Both paint and wallpaper can work in a bathroom, provided you choose high-quality products in either category. Washable vinyl wallpapers can stand up to bathroom humidity without peeling, as can semi-gloss or gloss paint finishes. However, if you’re someone who likes to redecorate often, paint may make it easier to change colors or designs more quickly. If you want full humidity protection and cleanability, tile or stone works better.

Ideally, you want to ask the wallpaper installers you’re considering for examples of past work, and references you can call. These will prove that the installer can handle your job, make your room look professional, and will also give you some insight into the kind of customer service you can expect. Before you start calling companies, you might want to narrow down your options by finding installers with mostly positive reviews online.

No, you don’t need to apply paint primer to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn’t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won’t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.
