"The quality of the work was outstanding. The wallpapering was very difficult because the building had settled so the walls were uneven. Nevertheless, Michael matched the extremely detailed wallpaper patterns. Michael was reliable, good-natured and worked late to ensure the project was completed so other construction could be performed according to timelines. His prices were very competitive, about half of what other highly rated professionals on Angie's List quoted. He also introduced me to an excellent contractor as well as a decorative painter. I highly recommend him."

"Antonio, at Greenovative, was great. I really enjoyed his professionalism. He and his crew found creative ways to decrease the price of the project. We are happy we gave Greenovative this project. Honestly, we will use them again."

"AllStar Painting and Contracting did a fantastic job from start to finish.  They are much more than just a painting company! They installed 6 doors, moldings, removed wallpaper, repaired walls, and much more.  Danny is a true professional (and perfectionist) and was cognizant to all our requests throughout the entire process.  They treat your home as if it was their own.  This type of attention to detail has generated their tremendous reviews and repeat business.  Danny, James, Ryan and the rest of the crew were wonderful.  James provided a fair and timely estimate and the work was completed to our extremely high standards.  I will definitely be contacting AllStar for all my painting and contracting needs in the near future!  I recommend you do the same.

"I was in search of a contractor to remove my current ceiling, install insulation and replace the ceiling with Quietrock sheetrock so that I could soundproof between floors and I'm very happy to have connected with Fabricio here on Angie's List. Fabricio responded immediately with answers to any questions I had or clarifications that I needed and when it was time to work on the project he and his team were here on time every day and completed the project flawlessly! I'm very happy with the work that was done and I plan to work with Fabricio again."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Costs depend on wallpaper type, wall condition, labor, and necessary repairs.

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.

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.

Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.
