"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."

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 you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

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

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.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.
