"Julio merino completed not only the drywall job I needed done, he also completed a difficult task that I spent weeks trying to find someone to accomplish. He was polite, clean, meticulous and reasonably priced. I would recommend him."

"Mike was always pleasant, prompt and professional. His painters, Niko and Willie arrived two days after the quote and completed the project within two days, half the time predicted by others. My property was protected. Paintings were removed and replaced. Mike responded almost immediately to any phone call or text. I am extremely pleased with this company."

"Danny and his crew showed up promptly.  Everyday Danny either worked alongside his men or stopped in to see how the work was progressing.  The care that he and his crew took in closing off the rooms with plastic wrap was incredible.  My mother has some bronchial issues and she was not phased by even one speck of dust.  They were so amazingly careful about containing all of it.  They vacuumed thoroughly every evening when the day's work was completed so that there was no impact on her daily coming and going.  The work took longer than originally estimated because the living room and dining room ceilings had been blackened from years of my father's cigar smoke.  Danny was so fussy that he ended up priming the ceilings three times.  The  bathroom wallpaper in two of the bathrooms which had been up for 30 years was also difficult to remove.  Danny paid attention to every detail and went above and beyond what I expected.  It was clear that he takes pride in his work.  Everything looked clean and crisp and wonderful when the work was completed. 
Danny and his men did a terrific job removing and putting back everything on the walls.  The also took great care in handling my mother's breakables (and there were many).   They were also a really good bunch of guys.
I would highly recommend Allstar Painting and Construction Corp and would use them again.  Danny was a pleasure to work with.

"Went perfectly. Carlos arrived on time for the estimate, gave us a proposal in writing and showed us photos of past jobs he had done. We said we needed to sleep on the bid and we hired him the next day. He showed up the day he said he would a little early and he and his partner looked professional and ready to go. They worked hard all day with only a 45 minute lunch. The job was hard and required lots of sanding, patching and spraying of many coats of paint. They finished and cleaned everything perfectly. This is now the most beautiful room in the house. Carlos should really come back and photograph this room for his portfolio."

"An artist is only as good as their canvas. Nothing holds more true than having the right sheetrock as a base for any construction or renovation project. And, responsiveness and communication are key to being comfortable hiring someone and bringing them into your home. It starts with Mario at Champion, who responded within minutes to any inquiry both before and during the project. Next comes Richie and his crew who skillfully installed all of the sheetrock while keeping the place as tidy as possible after each day. Finally, comes Carlos and his team who was pitched as the "Michelangelo of Spackling." He really is. On top of that, all the guys that were here are really nice, which is a bonus. I am a stickler when it comes to paint. We've all been there, spending hours prepping the surface when it was supposed to be "paint-ready." Aside from some very minor spots to sand, their work was absolutely paint-ready. We had an extension added to an existing room with layers of plaster and sheetrock and were worried about the old and new surfaces matching seamlessly. Not only did the team fur up the the new area, the entire room was skim coated to perfection. After paint, we can't even tell where the transition is. Overall, I can't say enough good things about Champion. Their prices were competitive and they did the work on time and on budget. I highly recommend them for any interior project without hesitation and I'd use them again in a heartbeat."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.

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.

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.

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation.
