"The ladies arrived on schedule and went right to work removing old wallpaper that had been on the walls for many years. They were very friendly, very efficient, and left everything clean and neat when they were finished. Sheri also removed an intercom speaker from the wall and patched the Sheetrock for me. I would use them again if the need arises.

"Mr. Reese was very professional. He checked the house for necessary repairs before beginning the job and provided various options for repairs. He replaced soffits, caulked, repaired or replaced damaged wood, painted wrought iron, removed and replaced shutters, removed gutters and patched roof. He completed the job on time and at a reasonable price. I would definitely use him again."

"Professional, to the point service, neat and clean work and excellent followup through completion. I called to get a quote for services and the next day the owner reached out, gave me direct pricing , we agreed and the worked were out a few days later. The interior painting was done in 2 days and my walls in all rooms and bathrooms is perfectly painted. I will be rehiring D & K again for other projects I have in the works."

"I contacted several of the top rated painters on Angie's List to get quotes on painting the exterior of my home.  Greg was not only the quickest to respond, but also the most professional and quoted me the best price.  He was able to get me on the schedule for the following week and was very easy to communicate with.  Greg and his crew were punctual every morning and were very careful to clean up every day before they left.  The job took about 4 days and I'm very pleased with the finished product.  I've recommended Painting & Beyond to several of my neighbors and will definitely be using them for any future painting projects.  "

"Davin was exceptional to work with! From the big job of gutting and building a new shower to smaller tasks of putting up new ceiling fans he did everything with excellence. He is professional and easy to communicate with. I will hire him every time I need repairs or remodeling work done in the future."

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.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

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.

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.

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.
