"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

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.

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.

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.

Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.
