"Dan and his son Tyler did an outstanding job. The basement was broken up in separate spaces including a 22' by 7' area which will double as a plant room during the winter time. He installed a counter and sink in this space and added a floor to ceiling built in bookshelf. To close off this area from the main space, he also installed a barn door which looks great. In the main area the work was done to perfection. The bathroom is a little jewel and we could not be happier with the work that was done. Dan and Tyler also went above and beyond when they moved furniture from the main floor to the basement and also put up additional shelves for us. I told Dan to pencil us in for the same time next year to update our main bathroom!"

They were at our house first thing in the morning every day during the build, and finished the wall faster than I've ever seen any contractor, on any jobsite! we absolutely love the work He did, and are looking forward to hiring him again when we finish our backyard project!"

If you're looking for someone who specializes in wallpapering in the greater Philadelphia region, look no further.\nAs a sole proprietor of my business, I do absolutely every aspect of the job myself: from returning calls, to providing free estimates (either by the job or by the hour), to doing the actual work.\nMeticulous attention to detail and fair pricing are two things that are extremely important to me and my business.\n\nI service the greater Philadelphia region (roughly within 20 miles of Wynnewood, PA - with exceptions).\nWallpapering is 90% of my work, but I also do some interior painting and handyman work on a case by case basis.

"CM Contracting has been very professional and respectful throughout the process of remodeling my entire home. Custom fabrication was a large part of the whole process. Chris kept us informed with everything being done at all times. We wanted to change a few things from the original plans and he was very accommodating with all we asked of him. Chris was very easy to communicate with. We were very hesitant to have any contractor come into our home with the amount of valuables we have on hand but they were all very trustworthy.  He also worked around some of the physical issues we have in the home. We appreciated the fact that we were able to stay in the home while the work was being completed. We invested a large amount of money into this project. 
Chris and his crew exceeded our total expectations!!! CM Contracting is definitely our first choice for all future projects at our home! "

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

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. 

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.

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.

No, you don’t need to apply paint primer to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn’t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won’t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.
