"Tom was not only professional, skilled and efficient, he also went out of his way to ensure that I was pleased. He initially used the color I chose, however, when the paint dried the color was different! THE PAINT MANUFACTURER HAD MADE A MISTAKE. Tom returned within a few days, and expertly repainted the cabinets with another color that resulted in the color I initially wanted. He did this without an additional charge! I highly recommend him!"

"AllStar Painting and Contracting did a fantastic job from start to finish.  They are much more than just a painting company! They installed 6 doors, moldings, removed wallpaper, repaired walls, and much more.  Danny is a true professional (and perfectionist) and was cognizant to all our requests throughout the entire process.  They treat your home as if it was their own.  This type of attention to detail has generated their tremendous reviews and repeat business.  Danny, James, Ryan and the rest of the crew were wonderful.  James provided a fair and timely estimate and the work was completed to our extremely high standards.  I will definitely be contacting AllStar for all my painting and contracting needs in the near future!  I recommend you do the same.

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Hanging wallpaper may seem simple, but in practice it requires significant planning and finesse to make it look professional. To start, you need to get an even application of wallpaper paste across all of your wallpaper, which requires experience and large pasting tables to get right. You also need to plan out your design and match it exactly so that you don’t have imperfections in the finished product. It’s often better to hire a professional wallpaper hanger who can get the job done properly for a clean, smooth finish.

The color of the paint, its opacity, and the depth of the texture on the paper all affect how many coats of paint you need to apply to paintable wallpaper. You'll need at least two coats of paint to ensure even coverage. Don’t be surprised if you need to apply three coats if the embossing is very deep or if you use a dark color.

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.

To pair a unique sense of style with white walls, keep them well-decorated. Hang vibrant art or bold furniture to add color to the room. Add some texture and greenery to the space with plants. Choose accent pieces such as throw pillows or light fixtures with patterns. Having a white wall can be a plus as it allows homeowners to easily decorate their homes as they desire without worrying about clashing with the paint color. 

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.
