"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

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.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

To determine how many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper you need, measure the square footage of the walls you’re covering and divide that by the square footage that each roll covers. Add 10% to 20% of your total square footage to account for pattern matching or damage while installing.

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.

Deciding between a lighter or darker accent wall depends on the effect you’re going for. Choosing an accent wall in a lighter color will make a room feel brighter and more spacious and complement rooms with less natural light. A darker accent wall will add drama and depth to a room and help make larger rooms feel more cozy and intimate.
