"I own an older fixer upper and have many contractors complete work at my house over the last 10 years. David and his crew was the most profession, prompt on time start/finish, and cleaned up everything. It was nice not needing to clean up mess afterwards. He laid tarps down for the walk way, no mess left behind. The work was A+++ quality."

"This handyman did a great job, he was very cautious with his mess and made sure that he was not dirty. They were very courtesy, nice, and professional. Every time they left for lunch or left the house they would let me know. They swept up all of their messes and didn't leave a mess and the end quality work was great."

"Excellent!! We hired Tony and his crew to paint several walls, strip wallpaper and texture and paint our laundry room. His price was very reasonable and the quality of work was exceptional. Tony and his crew showed up on time each of the three days ready to work. They worked hard and didn't waste any time. Tony used a paint truck to mix the paint on-site, which enabled him to instantly match any paint color we wanted. Tony showed me every paint color and checked it for an exact match before applying it. The paint job was flawless. Tony and his crew take great pride in their work and paint very clean, straight lines. Additionally, they did a very thorough job cleaning up afterwards. When Tony and his crew finished a few hours ahead of schedule, he asked me if he could help with anything else. He installed new door locks that I had purchased, fixed a dishwasher latch, and touched up a few spots on other walls (at no charge). I highly recommend Tony and his crew. I will use them again!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

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.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

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.
