"Frank helped us patiently with our paint choice for our family room. He prepped the room and completed 2 coats to the walls and ceiling. Not a drop of paint anywhere. He did a tremendous job. Very neat, clean, efficient. We are well pleased with his work and will call for our additional painting needs."

"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 Both rooms look great with the outdated wallpaper removed and fresh colors applied.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."

"The deck had a terrible mildew problem, uneven floor boards and nails popping up.  It looked very dilapidated, as if it needed to be replaced.  They removed everything off of the deck  for us, including the grill and tiki torches and replaced them upon completion of the job.The entire deck, steps and even the lattice was METICULOUSLY power washed on one of the hottest days of the summer.  Then there was too much rain and we had to wait for the deck to dry out before it was sanded and the stain was applied.  You get to choose from a host of colors.  The service was timely and the crew were exceptionally nice people.  I really was not expecting this type of result on that old deck.  People are now asking is it a new deck!  I will definitely use them again in the future.

"They did an amazing job! Their cost was half the price of a competitor. They did it way quicker than the other planned. I've already hired them to paint my exterior in the spring! Excellent work!"

"They were professional, and they removed all of the wallpaper we requested in less time than we had anticipated. Our wallpaper was very difficult in one of the areas and I was vey impressed with short time it was completed and ALL of the wallpaper was removed. We were very happy with the whole job."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

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.
