"Ed did a fantastic job installing wallpaper in our guest bathroom. The seams are invisible! He was very friendly, meticulous, and on time. I would choose Ed for any other wallpaper project I may have in the future!"

"The painter was very professional. He taped off the trim, removed (and replaced) the wall plates, and moved and put back all the furniture - that was a big help to me.  I had bought the paint and tape, but I am sure that the company could have helped with that as well. 2 years later, the paint still looks great.

"I truly do give them five out of five stars. The estimate was quick, they have one person devoted to doing this alone, and when i needed to push up my project date with short notice they were able to accommodate. Second, on the day the job began the paint was delivered ahead of time and the manager did a walk through to verify the work that was to be completed. When the painters arrived he made sure they understood and was there at the beginning and end of every day. Most of our floors are hardwood and we have 20 foot ceilings which required scaffolding- they carefully covered the floor (double layer of protections) and put away all equipment out of the way every night. They bubble wrapped and moved all furniture and items and then put them all back. This is truly a top notch company and i was very impressed. The manager does another walk through up to a week after in case there are minor touch ups that need to be made. I have used other painting companies before and but never had one that cared/took it as serious as this one. I would hire them again in an instant."

"Highly recommend working with Damian! Had a great experience and he and his team did a fantastic job installing wallpaper for my nursery. We gave him just enough paper and he made it work beautifully and seamlessly (with very little waste to make it a work which we super appreciate!)."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, 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.

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.

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

As long as the surface you’re putting the tile on is properly prepped, peel-and-stick backsplashes should stay on and last anywhere from 3 to 5 years. The best way to ensure the tile stays on is to sand down and clean the wall before applying your design.

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.
