"Five Star Painting was just that, 5 star from start to finish! We could not be happier with the experience of get our home painted. The owner Aaron was wonderful. Very personable and professional. From the moment he gave us our estimate until the time we signed the contract with him he communicated all the details of the project. We had gotten a few other estimates, but in the end we went with Aaron. He was by far the best price and was able to start and finish the job the very week we gave the go ahead to do the job. The workers were timely, efficient, fast and cleaned up each day that they were there. The finished product turned out amazing. Aaron came each day to check out the project and talk to us about any issues to make sure we were pleased with the outcome. We would definitely recommend Five Star Painting to anyone in need of a painting project."

"Tammy was incredibly careful with removing the wallpaper I needed gone. The walls were not damaged at all! She arrived punctually and I never even saw her, I just came home to beautifully unwallpapered walls. Would highly recommend!"

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.

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.

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.

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.
