"We had wallpaper to remove in our dining room and some drywall repair in a small powder room before painting. Troy painted most of our downstairs, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. He is quick to quote and reasonably priced, and he gets the job done quickly and efficiently. He's attentive to detail and you can tell he takes pride in his work. We will definitely be using Troy in the future for painting jobs big or small."

"Chris told me exactly how it would go and that it would take about 4 hours. Well he and his co-worker finished in about 2-1/2 hours, cleaned-up and hauled all boxes and old equipment off. Very professional, knowledgeable in a lot of different areas, and punctual (shows-up on-time or calls to explain why he can't be there i.e. weather). I would definitely hire this service(s) again."

"Customer service was excellent up front. I think the workers were using a product that they were unfamiliar with which caused the job to drag on and on due to them having to come back several times to fix issues. Ultimately we settled though we were not very happy with the product that was put on the deck. Some of the lines on the deck shown and some did not. One area where the material filled the lines now has standing water every time it rains. In the end the deck has grown on us. The work was good and the guys were all very nice. I think our experience wasn't great due to the unfamiliarity with the product they were applying."

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.

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.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color–like white or ivory. This is essentially wainscoting, but without any of the required installation. 

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay.
