"Excellent company! Before the project started, I received 2 quotes. Both quotes were equal. I was impressed with both companies, but I selected Jose based on my gut feeling. I couldn't be happier! The job lasted 1.5 days. The crew of 4 showed up on time both days. Promptness to me is very important, as well as safety. All face plates were removed, furniture was covered and protected. I have 15 ft. ceilings, so while 1 guy was cutting in around the crown molding, another guy was holding the ladder. Safety first! I was very impressed with the focus they placed on safety. They were here 1.5 days and only took 1 break, which was lunch on the first day! This crew was very friendly and worked the entire time. They were very meticulous and really took pride in their work. All of my furniture was put back in place and everything was cleaned up. Excellent work! I am very satisfied with the results. I highly recommend Professionals Painting!"

"Reggie did a great job. All the popcorn ceiling removal and repairs to drywall look nice and smooth, and all the paint (ceilings, wall, trim, and doors) looks great. He finished the job in the estimated time frame, and I would gladly hire him again in the future."

"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs.

"It was a perfect job. They covered all the furniture and not a drop of paint was left on the floor. I'll be using them for an exterior painting job once Springs comes. I've referred them to others as well."

"We purchased the $125/room deal. Marco was willing to do our 2 rooms. He was very careful to wipe up any drips and did the work very quickly. When he came to do the estimate and verify the space, we asked if he could do the tall foyer and he gave a very good price. Only one small problem when he accidentally started painting a wall that was to be a different color and to be done later, and he made it right. We just installed window trim and it had 2 coats of paint on it already. A small drip happened, Marco wiped it immediately (he really hates it when those things happen) and some of our paint was removed. Neither of us has any idea. He quoted a very fair price for trim. The only thing I would do is ask Marco for a written list of specific things. It got a little crazy and the whole house was in upheaved packing boxes so he could access walls. Had we a written agreement, Marco would not have lost track of what trim, what ceilings etc. He did not price gouge at any time, just that things got a bit rushed. He fixed on day 2 what didn't get covered on day 1. The paint colors were hard to see and the lighting in the house impossible to help him. If we saw something was missing or not covered completely, he just said thanks or let us know he hadn't gotten there yet."

"Ken returned my call to schedule work quickly and was very polite and professional.  Ken removed wallpaper, refinished walls and painted. His workmanship was very professional and done in a timely manner. His cost was competitive with others. He also gives an awesome two-year paint warranty and is licensed and insured. All the work was done as agreed upon with no delays. I would recommend him and will use his services again when needed."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

Small amounts of wallpaper can be thrown away in your household trash. If you’re removing a whole home’s worth of wallpaper, you may need to contact a waste removal company, rent a dumpster, or schedule a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste removal service. Wallpaper isn’t recyclable, so no matter which method you choose to dispose of it, make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the recycling.

One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.
