"I left a message with Steve describing the work we needed. He took the time to call back, and left a message explaining that finishing cabinets wasn't their specialty, and left a recommendation. I really appreciated that he took the time to help me get connected to the right person for the job --- this, I think, demonstrates good character."

"I needed a vinyl siding repair and the first co. I spoke with quote me what I thought was very high. Then I found Andy and he gave me a VERY good quote! An honest quote. Andy showed up when he said he would, we chatted very briefly and he set up and finished the work very quickly and exactly as I expected! Andy is a great communicator. If he canâ t answer, he returns your call asap and listens to what youâ re asking and the. You just set the date and time and he arrives and does the work. Heâ s friendly but also a very hard worker. Iâ d recommend Andy to ANYONE! Iâ m almost hoping to find another project for him to do! He has my confidence for sure!"

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, 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. 

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.

Costs depend on wallpaper type, wall condition, labor, and necessary repairs.

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.

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.
