"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 questions, answered by experts

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.
