"Tom did an outstanding job and we are very happy with his wallpaper installation in two rooms of our house. He was very responsive in the weeks leading up to the project, responding almost immediately to texts I sent with questions. He showed up on time and completed the project in one day, like he said he would. Hanging wallpaper can be tricky but the job he did is beautiful and friends and family keep complimenting his work."
"I just had work done on two bedrooms, which consisted of removing wallpaper and painting. Alfonzo and Harold did a fantastic job. They arrived on time every day and were very professional. They removed the wallpaper, skim coated and spackled the walls to perfection, The walls are as smooth as silk, a work of art. They were very clean and the work was completed on time. Highly recommend"
"Wilber and his crew were very professional, punctual and delivered what they promised. Will definitely hire them again for many other drywall, wallpaper removal and painting jobs I have planned in my home."
"I would highly recommend Philip from Mega Painting. He was a delight to work with, he was very neat and did a beautiful job. Don't hesitate to call him you won't be sorry. I would give him more 5 stars if I could."

"While there was some early miscommunication on when we should meet for an estimate and a change of installation day, Gerard was thorough, efficient, left the area in excellent condition and installed the wallpaper perfectly. While it was a small job, it required some extra work, which Gerard executed perfectly. I would recommend On Call Wallpapering. Thank you, Gerard."
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 some people are confident in their ability to replace concrete by drilling out the broken pieces and replacing them with bagged concrete, it’s possible to run into snags that make hiring a professional worth it. Trying to level concrete slabs can require special equipment, which can be pricey to rent and tough to operate. It's also crucial to contact your town's municipal office to ensure you are allowed to take on the project without a permit.
The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.
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.
To layer wallpaper over wallpaper, inspect your existing wallpaper for problem areas. Damaged wallpaper should not be covered. If it’s okay to proceed, prep by turning off the electricity and removing any outlet and switch covers. Dust your walls and lightly rinse them to prevent the existing paper from peeling. Apply primer, then apply your new wallpaper.
