**Due to current schedule our minimum project is $2,500** Please reach out to me directly 855-237-4147 We are a family owned and operated business and been in business since 1981. Our professionalism and quality craftsmanship will accurately reflect your taste and lifestyle.

"Fantastic. Once we decided to paint, I got a job, and had a small window of time that I'd be available to be at the house. Steve said he had an immediate opening that worked perfectly with our schedules. Then, I suddenly had visitors coming into town later that week, and so Steve (Berger) double-teamed his guys to get it done before the guests arrived. The team was fantastic. Communicated well about anything they thought might be a question for me. SO professional and polite. The work is spectacular and looks great. We found quite a few pieces of wood that had rotted, and they didn't just try to bondo them -- they replaced the boards (which ended up being quite a few), and you'd never know they weren't the original build. We also had them paint a 16 x 8 shed out back and an enclosed back porch. The price was a little more than we had hoped to pay, but the quality and speed would be hard to beat. Minimal impact to any plants near the house. They worked quickly but so professionally -- all very experienced and knowledgeable painters. We can hardly believe how beautiful the house looks!"

Wallcovering or wallpaper removals FAQs

A handyperson near you can take on the task of wallpaper removal. As a bonus, they can also take care of any needed wall repairs afterward and other odd jobs around the house. If you have high ceilings, ask whether they own ladders or scaffolding to do the job or will need to rent equipment.

You can determine your wall type through tactile and visual tests. Start by checking the surface by inserting a thumbtack, feeling the texture, tapping to listen for a hollow sound, and examining cut edges under outlet covers. Drywall feels soft with a hollow sound, while plaster is hard and solid. These checks are especially useful in older homes where plaster is more common.

In many cases, you can paint over wallpaper, although it’s a better idea to remove it altogether. Try steaming the paper first to see if it easily comes off. Painting over it may be a viable option if it’s stuck on and will only come off in pieces. Wash the walls first and prime them with an oil- or shellac-based primer for the best results.

Wallpaper installation costs between $800 and $4,000. The total price depends on the price per roll, room size, wallpaper material, and required repairs. More complex projects involving luxurious wallpaper brands like De Gournay, Calico, and Pierre Frey result in higher installation rates due to the extra work required.

After removing wallpaper, you can dispose of small amounts in your household trash. However, suppose you are removing wallpaper from your entire home. In that case, you’ll need to contact a waste removal service, rent a dumpster, or arrange a special pick-up with your municipality’s waste service. Wallpaper cannot be recycled, so it is important to keep it separate from the recycling stream to comply with local waste guidelines.
