"February 2020 my family experienced a house fire resulting in heavy smoke damage. No room was untouched and repair to the walls involved everything from wall paper removal, surface prep, and priming to repainting EVERY surface in an older house with many unusual surface finishes, such as decades old wallpaper stuck to hollow core doors. John’s team did an amazing job, the finished product came out beautifully. Most importantly, everything was communicated clearly so I was comfortable with it during a personally stressful time, and invoicing was easy. Also, during the unexpected disruption of NY on Pause due to COVID-19 John’s team adhered to the new safety guidelines and still finished the job on time. The photos for the review are in areas that were previously wallpapered in at least three kinds of paper."

"Aaron looked at the rooms to be painted: living room, dining room and bedroom walls, trim and ceilings. He explained that because some paint came off the walls when I removed two old decals, those areas would need to be skim coated. The estimate seemed reasonable. Aaron and his crew arrived as scheduled and worked very hard for two and a half days. They paid close attention to detail, and the results are absolutely beautiful. The rooms look like new! I will definitely call Precision Coatings for my future painting needs."

"I originally bought an Angie's List Big Deal offered by Complete Painting. When Scott came over to get a look at the job he seemed very professional so I decided to get an estimate for several other rooms to be painted. Scott spent a significant amount of time helping me decide what exactly I wanted to do with each room during the walk-through. The price seemed very fair so I accepted it on the spot and he put me on the schedule for the following week. In the meantime I mentioned to Scott that I was having a bit of a problem with our local paint store. He immediately and effortlessly took over matching all the colors I had chosen and purchased them for me in all the correct finishes, quantities and custom mixes. This was a big help! When he arrived right on time with his team of 4 family members they got right to work prepping everything. All I had to do was move my personal effects and they took care of the rest - removal of electrical plates, moving or covering everything. Working as a team things moved along quickly. They were able to paint 2 story walls including one being a staircase as well as the trim of skylights without any trouble or drama. I had more than one painter tell me it couldn't be done. I have had many projects done here in the Albany area and I can say it is rare to have a job very well done at a very fair price by friendly and professional people. They were even great with my 3 big dogs who didn't exactly make their job any easier! I would definitely call on Complete Painting again and i actually expect them to come back soon for more work to be done!

"Handy Dad prepared the rooms for painting by filling holes and sanding. Prep included removing electrical outlet plates and covering all cabinets and countertops with plastic sheets. Painting went well and cleaned areas and floors. Well done."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

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.

The cost varies from $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the type of wallpaper, the wall condition, and the labor involved.

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.
