"That #1 Painter Lehigh Valley recently refinished my kitchen cabinets, and the results are stunning! I’m beyond pleased with the quality of their work. Jim is personable and easy to talk to, while Larry, his skilled worker, showcases impeccable craftsmanship. He did a fantastic job refinishing the cabinets, making them look brand new. He took great care covering things up and cleaning up nicely each day. The cost was just a third of what cabinet refacing would have been. I highly recommend this company and will definitely be using their services again."

Bathroom remodeling with the finest details. Tiling. Remodeling ,Home improvements and repairs

"I researched Vegh Contracting on this site before asking for an estimate, and it was worth it! The reviews here are true. I am selling my house and needed wallpaper removed in the living room, dining room, stairway, hallway and in one bedroom. It was too much for me to do and I needed to sell my house! I needed a professional who could add me to their schedule soon and still be able to have showings during the work. I picked the right contractor for the job! They came to do the estimate quickly and put me on their schedule within a week. I had to cancel that first start date, but they were very understanding. And when I called again to schedule the work a second time, they fit me right in again without any complaints! They arrived each day on time and left each day after vacuuming and cleaning up all areas. This was so helpful since I had nighttime showings to sell the house. They helped me choose great colors for all of the walls and ceilings after the wallpaper was removed. I found a buyer less than 2 weeks after this work was finished. It looks amazing for a house that's over 100 years old thanks to Vegh Contracting! You will not be disappointed if you use them. Professional, nice, and good work results with fair prices! I will tell everyone I know about them and will use them again!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

It’s best to remove wallpaper rather than paint over it. You should only paint over wallpaper if removing it would damage the wall, the surface is relatively smooth, or there are minimal problem areas—such as slight peeling and lifted seams—that you can fix easily. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it can create more problems if the wallpaper is in poor condition and you don’t properly prep the area for painting. Depending on the state of the wallpaper, color, and textures could show through, and moisture from the paint could loosen the adhesive, causing unsightly bubbling.

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. 

It is possible to remove wallpaper yourself, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a professional. Some types of wallpaper can prove to be a real challenge to remove, and the process is labor intensive regardless, so most homeowners prefer to save themselves time and frustration by hiring a pro. Professional wallpaper companies have special tools like steamers and the experience to use them effectively without damaging the drywall behind it, which can get damaged if it gets too wet. Hiring a pro gets the job done quickly and minimizes the wall prep you’ll need to do afterward.

Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.
