"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!"

"We were extremely pleased with the job in every way. Alberto and his crew were meticulous in preparing the surfaces, painting them, and cleaning up afterwards. We ourselves had to do very little preparation?just the removal of art-work and mirrors from the walls. All furniture and rugs were carefully moved by the crew, protected during the painting, and returned to their original location afterwards. The painting itself was done efficiently and accurately; it looks beautiful. It included painting a high ceiling in the open living area, which required working on a tall ladder. After every day's work, the house was left clean and tidy. Alberto explained what he was doing at each step of the way and kept to the timetable which he had promised. He and his crew were always courteous, friendly, and pleasant to be around. Alberto himself went above and beyond in a few instances, for example by painting two large shelves that weren't part of the contract and by installing a new wall fastener for a heavy mirror. We would certainly use New Sunrise again and give them our highest possible recommendation.

"The porch had a lot of external water damage which was as evidenced by shingles falling off, as Mark removed the shingles he discovered interior damage as well. He consulted us with each discovery as the expenses grew. We were very pleased with the final product and so was the code enforcer for the town. We have since hired this company for more work."

"Shane's work is magnificent. My floors look as if they are out of a magazine. He did his work prior to our move-in, so the house was empty. He and his employee were both master craftsmen who took pride in their work and in their business relationships. They started work the day Shane said they would, showed up early and put in a full day, and cleaned up after themselves daily. Shane was happy to talk with us if we stopped by, and was responsive to our questions and ideas. The process was flawless from start to finish. The contract spelled everything out, the estimated completion date was met, and the floors are stunning. Shane's Hardwood Flooring (which I think is out of Harriman now) has my highest recommendation."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.
