"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."

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.  "

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

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

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.

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.

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. 

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.
