"Wallpaper removal and painting was done professionally using plastic protective material to protect house from dust and paint. Contractor was efficient and methodical in applying the Fresco base, texture and finish coats and glaze with excellent results. Also did an excellent job manufacturing and painting the custom mirror frame to match the new bronze sink fixtures and cabinet hardware.

"These people rock!! I needed some help removing an old huge mirror, like the ones from the 80s. The technician was very polite, informative and efficient. Also hung a shelf and installed a frameless mirror."

"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.

"Dan Schaeffer and some of his crew had done interior painting for me several years ago, and I had been very pleased with their work. Last year I contacted him to make a couple of minor corrections, and he was willing to stand by his work and return to do these things, even though time had passed. I actually deferred it again, and recently asked for him to come back to follow up. In addition to these minor touch ups, Dan's crew came in this time and texturized and painted a half bath, my chimney, some spots on the eves where the squirrels had chewed, and my front door. They also repaired some wallpaper in my bathroom and the frame around the back door where a screen door had been removed, and caulked and painted the post between the garage doors which had been bumped by my daughter with her car. Finally, they went through the house with me to caulk and touch up knicks and scrapes on the trim and walls around the house so it would look good to sell. They did a great job, and the crew worked very hard!"

"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

Accent walls can feel out of place or distracting if not well designed. Accent walls that don’t fit in with a room’s style can feel jarring or overpowering. Some accent wall styles can also feel dated, but fortunately, it’s easier to update a single wall than an entire room.

The cost varies from $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the type of wallpaper, the wall condition, and the labor involved.

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.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

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.
