"Steve with Landscape & Repair LLC. was extremely responsive, courteous and reliable. We had furniture, appliances and other items that we wanted to dispose of and was looking for someone to get the job done soon. Steve and another worker came to remove everything and we were extremely satisfied with their services. Since the time of the clean out we have stayed in contact to begin working on our next project that involves landscaping. Thank you!"

"We could not be more pleased with the outstanding job John did on our deck. In extreme heat, he meticulously sanded, power washed, and painted our old deck. The finished job was over and above what we thought could be done with this deck. John was a pleasure to deal with and as hard a worker as I have had at our house through the years. Very fair pricing."

"I purchased all the necessary materials myself. All they had to do was install. I was charged $75 $68 with the 5% off coupon) for less than 1/2 hours worth of work. That translates to $150 an hour ($142.5o with a 5% discount). I like PPHI, but that price for a simple install (which I could have done myself or had my neighbor do for free), I feel is very overpriced."

"Todd and his wife were very thorough when they came in to discuss the job to be done. They removed old wallpaper and we decided to put one wall as an accent wall with wallpaper and also needed 4 rooms painted. They were great at both painting and the wallpaper installation, very clean, and made sure everything was covered before starting any of it. Todd even went around and caulked all the cracks he had seen before painting, which was such a wonderful surprise. I definitely will be having them return to do more work for me and would highly recommend. Work is phenomenal with reasonable prices."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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

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.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.

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.

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.
