"Scott and helper Dexter did a beautiful job. The transformation is remarkable. Scott was courteous and helpful with great attention to detail. His prior experience in the construction industry with new homes and methods and older homes like mine makes all the difference. He had many good suggestions. His forte is carpentry. The woodworking was superb. He also has a good understanding of foundation and structure stresses. I have confidence that his work will last a long time and my home is much more stable because of the work that he has done. I would advise that in electrical matters that an electrician is consulted and/ or do the electrical work. Scott wants very much to please and may attempt work in areas where he is less experienced. He may also suggest not doing certain work because of large electrical undertakings. We worked through the difficulties and he brought in a very reasonable and competant registered electrician to do the work that was necessary. I was most impressed in the quality and cost of his work. He even helped me in other ways by carrying very heavy objects and offering requested advice on other personal projects. Some special considerations: My house was not yet lived in and considering the amount of work, a lot of dust was raised. I might have requested that a filtering device be used with power tools in the house if I had it to do over again. Also, I received Scott's estimate in a timely manner ( one week ahead of another contractor) but actual start time was delayed several times. I understand now that scott's value of quality over quantity and his willingness to accomodate additional work requests on each job can push his schedule later than might be expected. The wait was well worth it. I will definitely ask Scott for help with future home improvements."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

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.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

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.
