"A and Z did wallpaper in my daughters room and did an amazing job. They were available the next day after I contacted them, brought all their own materials, and finished the job in under an hour. The wallpaper looks absolutely gorgeous you can’t see any seams and everything is beautiful!"

Small jobs welcome

"I had surface mold on the ceiling in my bathroom. Chris and his crew were incredibly professional, meticulous, and the price I was given was very fair. I could not be happier at how my bathroom turned out. I know this was a "small job" for them, but they gave this exhausted, overworked, single mom of 2 little ones some peace that at least this headache was taken care of. When I'm ready to start working on the rest of my house, I will definitely be calling them again."

"I highly recommend this company. I was given a great price and all work was done perfectly. I have an 18’ ceiling that was also painted which required scaffolding to do it. Alberto and his team took great care to protect my wood floors while using their scaffolds and the work was done quickly and cleanly. No drips, all paint lines were sharp and straight. My house was spotless when they left. Needless to say… I was very impressed with their work. I will be using them again in the near future and suggest that if you need painting to give New Sunrise Painting a call."

"We bought a house and needed the full interior repainted (inc repainting our kitchen cabinets) before we moved in about 10 days later. Joe and his team made it happen and they worked really really hard (on many days without electricity no less!) to make that a reality and they did a fantastic job repairing the walls/ceilings and painting. Highly recommend."

"Beautiful job! Painted the outside of our entire house. Old clapboard had to be stripped down to the wood. Lots of trim work using different colors. Plaster experts! They repair plaster and paint it. Excellent job on the interior rooms. Very reasonable pricing. Everything was left clean and neat."

"I had just purchased a home and I was unable to handle the painting with all of the other projects going on. I hired this company to paint my living room, three bedrooms, two foyers and several closets. He did a great job! The owner is knowledgeable and current with paint trends and colors. I found him to be very accommodating to my schedule and he asked plenty of questions to ensure that he understood exactly what I needed done. We experimented with accent walls and two-tone painted panel doors using both flat and semi-gloss paint for a unique look and finish. My experience was a positive one, the owner was both friendly and professional. I felt safe with them having access to my home and especially appreciated their meticulous handling of each room. Thumbs up for sure!"

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

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.

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.
