"Jeff and Corey accomplished all requests, despite the difficulty of old post removal despite heavy roots, rock retaining wall, poured concrete patio, and garage foundation. Both are very personable and easy to communicate with. Extremely pleased with the end result."

"These guys did great work and in a timely manner. They were recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed. I was really impressed with their cleanliness. They used the highest quality available paint as requested at contract signing. Communication was always clear. I will be using this company again in the future."

"This was a project I was dreading. They came in and completed the project in a total of 5 days. They were very conscientious and made removing wallpaper look easy. They were great and addressed any areas I was not happy with. I thought light shadows were painting imperfections and they were willing to repaint the area even after I realized it was a weird shadow. I do plan on having them back, but want to get some carpet work done first."

"The paint colors that existed were matched very close, a surprise since the shutters were very faded. They had three painters, each doing a different task to get the job done in a reasonable time. A lot of the old chalk was removed and new installed. Where the existing chalk looked good, a touch up coated was applied to insure a good seal. The shutters were painted in place on this two story house. The painters regularly asked for our comments, which were all favorable. The job took one day. At the completion of the job, we were asked to walked around the job to make sure all was completed to our satisfaction, and all was. There was complete coverage on all painted surfaces. There were no splatters or drips on brick or surrounding surfaces.

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.
