"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."

"The results are excellent. Both rooms look great with the outdated wallpaper removed and fresh colors applied. Considering both rooms are small, I thought the cost was pricey, but admit that I didn't get a second estimate. The hallway was an easier job, both in paper removal and painting. The bathroom was more difficult, that paper had been up for 25 years and was very stubborn. So, I couldn't have done the job myself, the results are great, and I'm glad I chose these painters."

"Eric has an incredible eye for detail. We wanted a bold, dark accent wall in our living room but were terrified of messy lines against our bright white ceiling. The edges his team pulled are absolutely razor-sharp. It completely modernized the room, and the finish is flawless."

"Response to my inquiry handled promptly. Came out & gave estimate. Then I had to contact them to get a start date. Rainy weather had delayed other jobs, but there was a real lack of communication as to what was going on and when. Finally got the work finished and it does look good. On the fence about calling them for future work."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

The average cost to remove wood paneling is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.
