"I was very impressed with the gentleman that worked at my house! Just bought a new house and knew I needed the professional help to get things done. I had my roof and siding done and it turned out amazing, and done in a timely manner. They left my place cleaner than when they came. I had the whole interior repainted and you wouldn’t believe the results!! 10/10 I’m calling Isiah every time!!! See you soon when we do my fence!"

"This was a great experience. Rick is a very nice guy, professional and personable. He was timely and worked very hard. I recommend him to anyone who needs help with wallpaper or painting. He even finished taking some glue off in another room that I have and did not charge me any extra. Hire Rick and save yourself the headache and backache of doing it yourself!!"

A Little About Our Process. . . \nOur customers are always informed about what to expect on their projects, and have often voiced their thanks and satisfaction with this system. Keeping with the custom of informing the customer, here is what you can expect when you call WJT Cleaning & Maintenance, a component of The Building Foudation.\n\nInitial Contact:\nOur Service Manager will call you in reference to your project. We reply to all of our customers in the same short time frame, regardless of the size of their repair, improvement, or build. If you are one of our home maintenance warranty customers, we guarantee that we will take care of your needs within 24 hours or less. We will begin to discuss your needs, and set up an appointment to do an estimate. In the majority of cases, the estimate will be free. Our office will be open and at your service 7:30 AM - 6:00PM. We are available to do estimates at your convenience, if the best time is in the evening or on a weekend, we will be happy to accommodate. \n\nPhase I: Design:\nThe first step is understanding your need, desires, and budget. This phase will identify spaces, their sizes, relationships, orientations, sunlight, etc. Armed with this information we will proceed to design. With the collected data, our next step will be to take this information and put it into a format which will give a more visual sense of sizes, shapes, relationships, and proportions. This process will continue until a final solution is achieved to every ones satisfaction. You will be provided with approximate figures and financing/grant options that may be available at this point, so you know how you will most likely wish to proceed.\n\nPhase II: Details: \nThe next step is to provide construction drawings. It is at this phase where our mostly refined design will become increasingly more accurate with precision & added detail. This level of information is necessary for receiving precise construction estimates, the obtaining of permits, and providing a product built on a foundation of knowledge. During this phase you will be involved to make any refinements necessary. \n\nPhase III: Estimating:\nWith the detailed information present in the construction drawings, estimates of the project will be that much more accurate. We will prepare a detailed, itemized estimate for your project costs. We will also provide a day-by-day schedule of what day the framing will be completed, what day the paint will be applied, and so on. Once the estimate has been reviewed, discussed and potentially modified to reflect any final changes, we will prepare a fixed price contract which will insure your project will be completed on or under budget and to the degree of finish we have specified. If you have any questions about the contract, please feel free to ask. \n\nPhase IV: Building\nWe keep lines of communication open throughout this process to make sure we are best serving your needs, and that you are presented with any opportunity that arises to same money without sacrificing quality. We stand by our final result, which will reflect the hallmark of quality our clients have come to recognize. We guarantee our client's satisfaction and warranty all work for up to 3 years.

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. 

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.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.

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.
