"Gary and his team were excellent! They set realistic expectations for the time line of the project and were able to exceed it by a day. Gary explained in detail all of the work he could do and the quote outlined the conversation. He was able to start quickly and complete the job quickly. As the job progressed, he made good suggestions on ways to improve the exterior design of our house with strategic color placements and repairs. The team went above and beyond the initial quote when they came across a detail that would improve our home, rather than just ignore it because it wasn't quoted. They were also able to accommodate a last minute request for additional work on a part of the house we did not initially intend to be painted. They cleaned up after themselves and left the property free of construction and painting materials. I highly recommend them and will use them again for other projects."

"In 45 years of home ownership Peter and his crew, Tommy and Jimmy, were the best contractors I have ever hired. They painted my trim, doors, walls, dining room chairs, buffet, repaired walls and a ceiling, removed wallpaper and last, but definitely not least painted my kitchen cabinets, which look better than new. They are trustworthy, their work ethic is exceptional and their organization and clean up is beyond what I anticipated. And punctuality….when is the last time a contractor called you to say they were going to be three or five minutes late because they were stuck behind a school bus? They certainly went above and beyond in everything they did. Their work is impeccable. I would recommend them without hesitation. As a side note, I had decided to strip my front door, which had layer upon layer of paint on it. I texted Peter with questions throughout the process, and he never hesitated to answer."

"Miguel did an excellent job finishing my basement drywall project. I was able to put up the studs and drywall but making it smooth / seemless is an art. He finished quick and used dustless techniques which make clean up easy."

"Just finished painting our house and garage and they turned out GREAT! My wife and I couldn't be happier with the job Kelvin, Ryan, Jalen did. The entire house, all the trim work, three awnings, and our back door turned out beautiful. 5 stars isn't enough for these guys. Great to work with, answered all our questions and made sure we were satisfied. We highly recommend them for your next painting job. We will be using them to paint a bunch of our interior rooms as well."

"These guys were so professional. They were prompt, polite and aimed to please. They stripped a large two story foyer and two hallways of wallpaper, removed the popcorn ceilings in these areas and primed and put 2 coats of paint on the walls/ceilings. They did a great job."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removed without damaging walls, making it a good choice for renters or temporary design changes. However, damage to paint or drywall can occur under certain conditions. To prevent issues, the wall surface must be properly prepared before application—it should be clean, smooth, dry, and correctly primed or painted. Applying wallpaper to a freshly painted surface can cause the paint to peel off during removal. Additionally, removing the wallpaper too quickly or aggressively can also cause damage. For best results, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for both application and removal.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.
