"Repainted kids bedroom and wallpapered the main wall. Extremely pleased with the final result and the overall experience. Worked over two days and was responsive and communicative. Requested numerous bids from other providers and Michael's pricing was inline with other bids. Worked performed at an UWS coop building. Michael had all necessary insurances and was able to turnaround a COI in less than 24 hours. Extremely please with the quality of the work - would hire again"

"Unfortunately I have to give Thomas and his nephew Sherman 3 out of 5 stars. I say unfortunately bc they were very nice and professional in their demeanor and response times to my initial quote request and during the prep process. Sherman had a lovely demeanor and tried hard. That said, I hired them to professionally paint 3 pieces of furniture (one wood console and 2 metal table frames). Thomas was helpful in guiding me on what primer and paint to purchase at the Benjamin Moore store. They were also flexible on the start time (I needed to do a later afternoon start). Sadly, they were rushed as a result of starting late and prepping my apartment was done poorly. There was paint spray from the spray gun all over my floors, walls and other furniture that was not covered. Upon inspecting the table frame that they claimed was done I noticed that half of the table was not painted properly. As though not enough paint was sprayed on the area and it looked light. Sherman went over those areas with a paint brush but it didn t turn out perfectly. It was oil based paint, took forever to dry and about 2 days in post painting, the legs were completely smudged (badly). The wooden console was nearly a disaster. Paint all over the floor and glass doors which came off eventually but I cleaned it myself. The paint bubbles up in some places and it looked cheaply done. Sherman did come back 2 days later to touch up and clean the mess on the floor. But I d say the damage was done at this point. I ll most likely look to have the wood console re done at some point by another painter. It looks cheap and like a rush job. I know they claimed that it was too dark in my apartment to see well. It may have been but the outcome was poor nonetheless. If you hire Thomas and Sherman, make sure they prep your home thoroughly and that you are overseeing the job. You may risk a poorly done job."

Customers say: True professional

"OnCall Wallpaper has done 7 separate jobs for me- each one more increasingly difficult than the next and each one executed flawlessly which is why we keep coming back!! Gerard is a true pleasure to work with, he is professional, courteous, kind and has very fair, competitive and reasonable pricing. He truly wants to make projects work for his customers. Him and his crew are true masters at their skill - we’ve had him hang high end custom murals, grass cloth, extremely intricate designs that required precise and very difficult matching, strange shaped rooms, small rooms and gigantic rooms, repair work to existing wallpaper, and rooms that needed a ton of wall prep work before they could be wallpapered. Gerard and his team have completed each with stunning precision and care, and in very timely turnarounds. Crew is extremely kind, friendly and tidy. If you are looking for a high end experience, and want your project to come out more beautiful than expected every time- look no further than OnCall for all of your wallpaper needs- no matter the difficulty or size of the project!"

Wallpapering questions, 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.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.

It is less costly to paint than wallpaper when you only consider the upfront cost. Wallpaper costs $320 to $820 when applied by a pro, while paint only costs $200 to $700 per room. However, when comparing wallpaper versus paint, consider the long-term as well. Wallpaper can save you money over time since it has a much longer life span than paint.

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.
