"We hired Marcial and his team initially in 2012 when we needed our home interior painted.  They removed wallpaper, rebuilt sheetrock for us, and painted 80% of our home. They did such a fantastic job that naturally, when it came time to paint our home's exterior, we contacted Marcial again. From start to finish, the team was extremely professional, clean, courteous, and worked within the established budget as they always do. There are never any unexpected charges or surprises with Marcial. Everything is discussed up front and the customer knows what to expect. The work on our entire home was completed in 8 days, which was quite an undertaking, as it is a 4,000 sq ft one-story ranch. Marcial arrived on time for our estimate, started when he said he would, and finished a day ahead of schedule. The team cleaned up after themselves every day so we never had to worry about trash or debris in our yard or in the road. We wouldn't trust our painting to any other company. Marcel and his team ensure that you are 100% satisfied with the work that they do. We receive compliments from everyone that comes to visit! Almost a year later with torrential rainfall and flooding, and the paint still looks amazing!!

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

The average cost to remove wallpaper is $790. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from $200 to $2,000. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.

Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home’s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.

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.

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

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.
