"I hired Culver's Painting for wallpaper removal and application of new wallpaper and they did a great job! On the wallpaper removal, they did a nice job of prepping the walls for the new wallpaper and repairing areas that needed it. On the wallpaper installation, she was awesome - professional, courteous, and a quality end product. I will absolutely hire Culver's again for wallpaper projects and for painting projects."

"Harold was very personable. He provided an initial estimate for wallpaper removal, glue removal, the cleaning of the walls, priming, patching, and ceiling painting. He also made sure to explain to us at the time that there is some variability when working with wallpaper since the time it takes to remove wallpaper depends on the kind of glue that was used, how much of it, and the condition the walls are in after all the wallpaper has been removed. The completion of this portion of the job ran $250 over the estimate. However, when you take into account all the work we had done (see our total cost above), we felt that the difference between estimate and actual was still competitive and reasonable. After talking to others who have attempted wallpaper removal on their own, we decided it was money well spent.
As we prepared for the painting portion of the job, we were able to meet with a color consultant as part of our contract. Deb provided good tips and advice on color combinations to use so that the whole house could follow a general color theme. She was also very aware of upcoming trends. This was helpful since we wanted the color used for the nursery to also jive with the colors used throughout the rest of the home. While finishing the painting portion of the job, the Majic crew also took care of a large crack that ran along the living room ceiling. Overall, the paint looks like what one would expect from professionals.
I am pleased to say that our home no longer looks like a mid-sixties time capsule. We would use Majic again in the future.

"The owner promised, I would be happy with the job, and they went beyond what I had in mind. Matched the walls perfectly, and spent a lot of time removing all left over scrap and cleaning up. Paid them extra because the work was so impressive. They work very well with us."

"The quality of the job was excellent - the team was polite, professional and did a perfect job.  There was no mess at all and the work is beautiful.  I couldn't ask for a better appearance, but was concerned about the long day the team worked.  They started at 8AM and continued past 7PM.
I did, however, have issues with scheduling.  The owner and I originally talked about an early July completion date and it was the end of August before the job was completed.  I sent emails every other week or so to ask about updated schedule since I had purchased a Big Deal for the deck and didn't want it to expire. 
The cost was also higher than I expected - we went back and forth on estimates as I'd removed my balcony and then - after having it reduced in size by a different contractor - added it back to the job.  So I'm a bit confused about final pricing but given the quality of the work, that wasn't overly important to me. 
The owner did talk about focusing on a smaller geographic area which may help with the overall focus with scheduling and job management.  But the work is absolutely beautiful regardless.

"I am from out of state and wanted to hire someone to paint the cathedral ceiling in my father-in-laws house. I called a couple painters and Quin was the first to call me back. He was professional in how he treated my father in-law and me and his pricing was fair. He showed up and completed the job as scheduled. The job turned out well. I would highly recommend Quin."

"The painters arrived on time. There were some restrictions that I was not aware of/ you could only use one color, no second coats. A color that we used did not look good without a second coat, so the room looks unfinished."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.

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.
