"We hired Jewels to spackle and repair all of our walls on the 2nd floor in our 1900s farmhouse. The old plaster was cracking and starting to crumble in multiple spots. Plus my husband and I built closets and added a bunch of holes in the wall to move the electric inside the walls and added ceiling lights. Not only did Jewels do an outstanding job repairing it all he made it look brand new again. He also, gave us very helpful in tips on what kind of prep work we could to do save some money. And tips with other and future projects we have going on in the house as well. He really went above and beyond! And as first time DIYer was his tips and suggestions were extremely helpful! We hired him on for a second project in our closed in back porch that we turned into 1st floor full bathroom and mudroom. He did an outstanding job once again with those rooms as well.

"Did not show up as scheduled. Offered to match paint and brought the wrong paint to the job. Did not respond when notified - then said they were not responsible if the paint they selected matched - that was my responsibility!. Had to pay more to get the part that "showed" repainted in the right color. Crew changed day by day. Specified 2 coats sprayed, but did some brushing and applied only one coat in places. There main motivation seem to be do what was most expeditious/profitable for them. Left strong impression my job was a "fill in" and more of an aggravation than a solicited service. Job superintendent was barely aware of field crew progress. On-site supervisor spoke broken English. Finally got the right front door, and finished painting the garage doors and front door with two coats on a cool day without proper time to dry between. Paint on front door ended up not curing well."

"I asked Kerry to update a small half-bath off of our den. We wanted to replace the sink, remove old wallpaper, remove a medicine cabinet and update the lighting. Sounded rather dull and routine to me. To my delight, Kerry was full of ideas to make the project interesting and fun! Her suggestion was to put in vessel sink (it looks beautiful!) with a pendant light above it. Old wallpapered walls were smoothed and painted (also beautiful). Another idea of hers .... wallpaper the ceiling. Who knew? Looks amazing. Her work is excellent .... but her ideas are priceless."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.
