"Carlos and his crew are absolutely amazing! He took the time to go room by room and explain what needed to be done. He and his staff are polite, professional and make sure you are absolutely satisfied with the work he performed. His prices are fair and when the work is completed a room by room inspection was done to make sure it was to our satisfaction. I highly recommended their services and will definitely hire them for my next project."

"Danny and his crew showed up promptly.  Everyday Danny either worked alongside his men or stopped in to see how the work was progressing.  The care that he and his crew took in closing off the rooms with plastic wrap was incredible.  My mother has some bronchial issues and she was not phased by even one speck of dust.  They were so amazingly careful about containing all of it.  They vacuumed thoroughly every evening when the day's work was completed so that there was no impact on her daily coming and going.  The work took longer than originally estimated because the living room and dining room ceilings had been blackened from years of my father's cigar smoke.  Danny was so fussy that he ended up priming the ceilings three times.  The  bathroom wallpaper in two of the bathrooms which had been up for 30 years was also difficult to remove.  Danny paid attention to every detail and went above and beyond what I expected.  It was clear that he takes pride in his work.  Everything looked clean and crisp and wonderful when the work was completed. 
Danny and his men did a terrific job removing and putting back everything on the walls.  The also took great care in handling my mother's breakables (and there were many).   They were also a really good bunch of guys.
I would highly recommend Allstar Painting and Construction Corp and would use them again.  Danny was a pleasure to work with.

"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."

"An artist is only as good as their canvas. Nothing holds more true than having the right sheetrock as a base for any construction or renovation project. And, responsiveness and communication are key to being comfortable hiring someone and bringing them into your home. It starts with Mario at Champion, who responded within minutes to any inquiry both before and during the project. Next comes Richie and his crew who skillfully installed all of the sheetrock while keeping the place as tidy as possible after each day. Finally, comes Carlos and his team who was pitched as the "Michelangelo of Spackling." He really is. On top of that, all the guys that were here are really nice, which is a bonus. I am a stickler when it comes to paint. We've all been there, spending hours prepping the surface when it was supposed to be "paint-ready." Aside from some very minor spots to sand, their work was absolutely paint-ready. We had an extension added to an existing room with layers of plaster and sheetrock and were worried about the old and new surfaces matching seamlessly. Not only did the team fur up the the new area, the entire room was skim coated to perfection. After paint, we can't even tell where the transition is. Overall, I can't say enough good things about Champion. Their prices were competitive and they did the work on time and on budget. I highly recommend them for any interior project without hesitation and I'd use them again in a heartbeat."

"Walter from Adler Painting was punctual, thorough, skilled, and clean.  He removed our wallpaper, sanded and patched the surface, and applied two beautifully even and clean coats of paint.  We are very happy with the process and the result.
Our entire experience with Adler Painting was pleasant and professional, from Pierre's initial estimate to watching them prepare the work area with drop cloths and tape.  Despite some trouble getting the work done on our originally scheduled date, Ron Adler worked with us to reschedule and provide low-VOC paint in our exact color as specified.
We are definitely considering them for future jobs.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

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.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.
