"The team of Tom, Dan and Scott were very professional, courteous and friendly. They did a very good job in prepping the walls after removing the wallpaper which made for a smooth surface to paint. We love the end result."

"Perfectly! The guys did the room in one day - base coat and two coats. Even though I created a drama by transposing Sherwin Williams numbers, they were still able to make the correction and finish the room that day!"

"The finished job shows streaks and places were missed all together. There were cracks on seems which was the main reason I wanted it done so the sanding wasn't done properly. By May of 2011, the window part of the window sills were cracked and chipping. The front door showed cracks and streaks and was later repainted by another painter. Mr. Yohe was very unprofessional. He came out the first week of October and said he would mail his proposal. He didn't mail it. I called twice and gave excuses as to why he didn't mail the proposal and he finally responded when I itemized the work and sent him an email. All he would have to do was copy the proposal. Instead he just quoted a price of $525 for the whole project. He didn't itemize everything in the proposal. After going back and forth about the quoted price he stuck to the price of $525 instead of itemizing each object to be painted. I was particularly angry because during a rainy week he called to come out to my house. Instead of waiting until the weather cleared, he made excuses about only having one day to be able to do the work. He simply blows off small jobs. He gives estimates and then when he discovers its a small job he doesn't like to do it. My job cost 625 dollars and I could've easily gotten the job for around 300. He was supposed to paint my kitchen as well but didn't give me an estimate and said he wouldn't be able to get to it until right before Christmas."

"SHANE YOUNG, OWNER ARRIVED ON TIME TO VIEW THE PROJECT. HE PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE WITHIN A WEEK AS REQUESTED. I DECIDED NOT TO USE DELAVYN PAINTING BECAUSE HE IS A ONE MAN OPERATION. HIS PRICE AWAS COMPETIVE."

"When Mr. Springer came for the estimate, he informed us that the $999 promotional price wasn't realistic; for our frame house the price was over $3000. After getting some other estimates, we agreed to hire him. He and his helper were on time, respectful, and cleaned up after themselves. They did the entire house in one week. I think the house looks much better; my husband thinks they could have done a better job scraping the old paint. All in all, I am satisfied; however, I don't think this was a 'deal' at all. We could have had the work done by someone more local to us for a better price, although it probably would take longer."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

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.

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.

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

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.
