"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."

"Al and Ray arrived on time and set to work filling cracks in the ceiling, preparing walls for painting and removing old wallpaper. They painted ceilings in the living room, family room, kitchen, dining room and hallway. They painted the living room and hallway walls with a new color which covered very well. They were very thorough and paid attention to detail and cleaned everything up before leaving. I think they did a great job for the price and would not hesitate to use AZ Painting again in the future.

"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."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.

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.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.
