"From the beginning, James was very professional and thorough in providing me with details about the job. He gave me a fair estimate and the time span for the work. He and his crew arrived on the appointed date, James again reviewed the work to be done and answered all questions. His crew worked diligently the whole day with an appropriate lunch break. I provided James with the color paint I wanted for the room. It was only after he purchased the paint that I realized that it would be too dark. James was patient with my dilemma of trying to decide on a color. He personally escorted me to the paint store to be sure I would get the color I wanted. I can't believe the transformation of my bedroom with this paint job. Allstar did a fantastic job. The clean up was excellent. I am more than pleased with their work. My husband, who was away during this time, was extremely happy with the quality of the work. We will definitely use their service again.

"I was in search of a contractor to remove my current ceiling, install insulation and replace the ceiling with Quietrock sheetrock so that I could soundproof between floors and I'm very happy to have connected with Fabricio here on Angie's List. Fabricio responded immediately with answers to any questions I had or clarifications that I needed and when it was time to work on the project he and his team were here on time every day and completed the project flawlessly! I'm very happy with the work that was done and I plan to work with Fabricio again."

"They did a great job. I was out of town during most of the painting time and asked they wait to paint the living room until I returned as I wasn't sure on the color. They did just that and I'm thrilled with the way it turned out. They skim coated one wall and I wish I'd had the time (and money!) to do it everywhere, it makes a huge difference.

My only complaint is that they didn't remove the wall plates when painting. They simply painted around them. While they were obviously taped so no paint was on them, my plan was to change the wall plates anyway. I had to be extremely careful when removing the old ones so as not to chip the paint when prying them off the wall (as they had clearly been painted on/around several times). It seemed extremely lazy to not remove the plates, when the whole process felt very professional.  I remember Eric specifically mentioning they would remove the plates as he commented the last painters had not.

Overall, I'd hire them again, but I would give myself more time to more closely supervise and be crystal clear in my instructions."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

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.
