"Reached out to CertaPro to paint all of the interior common areas of our home. They called me the same day and scheduled an in home appointment the next morning. Jim Showed up promptly at the time of the appointment and was very helpful and knowledgeable in pointing us in the right direction. Jim provided a quote the same day and we scheduled the job the next day. Due to some weather affecting some outside projects they were able to move us up and start the job earlier. We have 10 ft. ceilings, did the Kitchen, living room, entryway and two hallways walls and ceilings and the project took about 3 days to complete. The painters were very good at taping off all of the trim and wrapping all the furniture prior to painting. Once the painting started it went quick, and as soon as they were done all the taping and coverings were removed and they helped reset the furniture. I couldn't be happier about the job Jim and his team did on our home it truly made us feel like we moved into a new home. Jim followed up a week later to make sure everything was still looking good, and I would definitely use them again on future projects."

"Andrew is absolutely awesome and highly skilled and extremely detail oriented. We have been using Andrew for many months now and we have him at our house about once a month. My wife and I stay busy and just don't have the time to do everything that needs to be done. Luckily we found Andrew. Andrew does a million different things for us that we just don't wanna do. Some things we ask him to do don't take the special skills that Andrew possesses but he gives 100 percent effort to everything we need done. I never have to worry if a task was done correctly. Andrew always exceeds are expectations on everything he does. I guarantee you will be impressed with Andrew's work"

"Jim and his crew exceeded expectations. I had been dealing with a separate painter for an exterior project and felt like I was hitting my head against a wall and the project went way too long and the quality of work was subpar. Switching to Jim and 5 Star Painting was the best move I could have possibly taken and was a breath of fresh air. I have already passed along Jim’s information to three people and will continue to do so - they truly are FIVE stars!!"

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.

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

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.

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.
