"I obtained 3 quotes for painting in my house which included removing old wallpaper in one room before painting and included included a bedroom, bath and hallway. Affordable Weaver is truly affordable. Their cost estimate was 40% less than the other 2 quotes. The team of 4 arrived promptly at 7:30 am and finished the job in 1 day. Very neat and clean with no paint drippings on my wood baseboards or floor. The owners are a pleasure to deal with and the painting crew took time to understand what color paint I needed in each room. Highly recommend!"

"We hired LHI twice to remove wallpaper, different painters came each time. The first painters were extremely fast and efficient. The second painters had a lot of difficulty removing the wallpaper because there were multiple laters of wallpaper. Both times the painters were very punctual, clean and professional."

"The job went well and the work was done within 2 weeks after Bob gave us the quote. Bob removed wallpaper, patched up the walls (they were quite a mess since the paper had been on over 25 years) and painted quickly and efficiently. When I didn't like the first color I chose, Bob had no problem repainting with a different color, even though the extra time set his schedule behind. Things I liked best about Bob--his sense of humor, the fact that he did the work personally and the work was done when he said it would be. We definitely will use Dimenna's in the future. We love the new look."

"From my first email and phone contacts to his visit for an estimate, Larry was professional and very helpful. We received an original estimate that was very competitive with other contractors but the difference with Larry, is that he did not try to get us to do other unnecessary work in order to jack up the price. Even with the addition of cutting and installing trim around the doors and windows, his estimate was the best one out there. Larry and Raphael arrived right on time Monday morning, prepped the room by putting down heavy duty paper on the floor, removed the old drywall, installed insulation to three walls, and then cut and hung new drywall to four walls. Larry and Raphael returned early Tuesday morning to finish with the drywall as well as to cut and install trim to two doors, two windows and floor trim. They even did some touch-up work to problem areas in our ceiling that was not covered in the estimate. Larry and Raphael removed all of the trash from the room and then cleaned the floors in the bedroom as well as the hallway and the entryway. They did such an awesome job with the room that we will definitely have them back to work on our kitchen and our bathroom. I cannot express just how happy we are with the work that Larry and Raphael did, they do excellent work and even tolerated our jumping and yapping puppy.

"Removed layers of wallpaper/paint in bedroom. Patched, primed and painted walls, ceiling and woodwork. Looks great! We've used Nolan in the past for exterior painting and that experience was also a positive one, which is why we hired them for our indoor job."

Wallpaper Removal 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. 

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

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.

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.
