"Mike did a wonderful job with our bathroom wallpaper removal and paint! We had two layers of wallpaper that were extremely tough to get off and required drywall repair after. He works efficiently and did a fantastic job. Our paint looks amazing as well. Dave came by everyday to check on the progress and update me with how things were going. They communicated very well. We plan to hire them again for future home projects!"

"In short, this was one of the best experiences we have ever had with a service provider.  I called CTS for an estimate and received a return call very quickly.  We arranged a time for Adrian to come over, and he showed up exactly on time.  He then emailed me the estimate promptly.  We thought the price seemed very fair for the amount of work we were asking them to do, so we scheduled the work for a couple days later.
The crew of 3 painters arrived exactly on time, got to work immediately, and had the bedroom wallpaper down within a couple of hours. After removing the paper, they were extremely conscientious about making sure the walls were perfect before painting. They cleaned them, then spackled and sanded several areas (and we were very impressed that they left no dust after sanding).  
The crew worked quickly, with only a brief lunch break, and didn't stop until both rooms were completely finished.  They cleaned up after themselves and put all furniture back.  We were amazed at the quality of work.  Both rooms are absolutely beautiful.  We plan to have them back to paint the rest of our house later this fall.

"Mr. Moyer is truly a professional and did such a great job repairing the damage.    During the process, I had one area that required drywall over an area that was to cover the pipes coming from the upstairs sink.    He noticed a drop of water on the drywall and I had to have plumber come out to repair the water leak under the sink.    It was such a subtle leak, but definitely needed repair prior to completing the job which could have caused more damage down the road if not detected.    He did an excellent clean up job as well once he completed the work."

"Smooth and easy process. No guessing on the estimate. I was shown the square footage for each and the price for that particular room using a computer program. My price, including paint, was $1200 less than my other estimate which was just a guess. The painting crew was great. No mess! Highly recommended."

"Mike and his team were amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure my house looked well put together and SO much more beautiful than it was before they began. We hired them for two jobs and each job was very well done. Both jobs required removal of wallpaper and painting. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to get their house painted or wallpaper removed."

"Robert and his team did an excellent job. We had him repair several drywall areas within our house, including ceiling and interior walls with water/mold damage. He clearly explained every step along the way and was always up front about their process and pricing. He was extremely easy to communicate with and always showed up on time and was flexible if we had schedule issues. Most importantly, the job was complete on time, on budget, and looks great. Thanks Robert!"

"Jim & Ben were on it... and the den now looks great! It was a dark worn wood look and now it's fresh and beautiful! Fantastic job! Jim recommended (in changing dark wood to a light color) to caulk all cracks and that was a tremendous suggestion. Everything was sprayed and they used Sherwin Williams Emerald paint...the primer and new coats of paint are smooth, even and very professionally done...really awesome! Jim even came back after the job was completed to touch-up and make it extra nice! Please, take our advise, get a quote from Jim BEFORE you give the job out...you won't be disappointed:)"

"Cindy recently completed a project involving my half-bath which required some dry-wall patching and getting the walls in paint ready shape before she could paint. She charged a fair price and was willing to work with my schedule. She was concerned enough about the mirror she hung in the bathroom to return and make it more secure. What once was a disaster is now a fresh new looking bathroom."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs

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.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.

In most cases, you cannot wallpaper over existing wallpaper. It’s possible to wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but vinyl-coated wallpaper is much more prevalent in homes, so you generally shouldn’t put new wallpaper over existing wallpaper. Adding a layer of wallpaper over vinyl-coated paper will lead to poor adhesion, leaving behind bubbles and imperfections in your wall. Plus, wallpapering over vinyl-coated wallpaper can lead to mold growth, which can be hazardous to your health. It’s usually best to hire a local wallpaper removal service to handle the task to avoid these issues.

The average cost to remove wallpaper is around $3 per square foot, but the total depends on the type of wallpaper, how easy it is to remove, and the size of the room. Most homeowners spend around $780 per room for wallpaper removal, and prices typically fall between $200 and $2,000. Wallpaper removal is expensive because it tends to be a very time-consuming job, and it can sometimes take a full day or more for the work to complete.

The easiest way to remove wallpaper is to use a steamer. The hot steam will loosen the wallpaper paste and make peeling the wallpaper off in large sheets much easier. Unfortunately, steamers can create irreparable damage on your walls, so it’s not a good idea for DIYers to use steamers to remove wallpaper. Instead, hire a professional wallpaper remover to do the work for you. This method will not only speed up the process, but it will also ensure your walls will remain intact post-wallpapering.
