"Kate did an amazing job priming and painting our bathroom. She was professional, on time, and was meticulous with her work. I'm so impressed how well she did with some seriously complicated nooks and crannies, too. I shopped around and received several quotes (outside of Home Advisor) prior to hiring Kate and also found her prices to be extremely reasonable. I'd happily hire her again."

Hi there! We are a local Interior/Exterior painting company out of Independence, KY. We have a combined 45 years of professional painting experience. We take pride in every job and Guarantee customer satisfaction. We are very clean, and we have professional employees that love their job. Give us a call 513-525-9018, you won't regret it!

"These guys are great. They painted our entire home (two bedrooms,living room,kitchen,dining room). We had them do the wall, doors and ceiling. They were extremely neat while working and took pride in their work and provide a great guarantee. They came back and touched up anything we were not happy with (which was two small almost unnoticed spots). They are fairly priced, did awesome work and are customer focused. We had them come back and they painted our kitchen cabinets which they did a great job on. Wish I could give them 10 stars and recommend them for all painting jobs."

Family owned and operated company with over 40 years of experience. We specialize in all your painting, drywall and wallpaper needs. Blending quality, craftsmanship, and customer care is our specialty. Reach out to me directly at 859-391-9193 to schedule an estimate.

"Quite simply, this was the best contractor we have hired in 35 years of home ownership. We have had some good ones (and bad), but Pat is way above the rest and his price was the most reasonable. I read almost all the reviews and they are all fantastic (not one bad one) and for good reason: Pat and his team are the nicest, friendliest, most conscientious, thorough, laid-back, competent crew I have worked with. Four of them worked for 2 solid days scraping and repairing rotted wood that prior painters glossed over (they were too professional to say this themselves) with NO complaints. And I had to insist that we compensate them properly for all that! Pat is the most honest, knowledgeable, generous contractor I have hired. They may not look like your typical college-aged painters, but don't be fooled - they are a capable and expert team like no other. BTW, they can fix anything - I plan to have them back to seal our brick, fix and paint the deck, do interior work, and my neighbors are having them replace gutters and tuck-point. We are so happy we found them!"

Pierson Professional Painting LLC was started over 10 yrs ago and we take pride in our workmanship and the overall experience our customers have with us from start to finish. It is my belief that anyone should be able to hire a painting contractor and have a great experience. We work hard to satisfy the needs of our customers, and that starts from the estimate process and goes all the way through to completion of a project. We feel confident you will have a good experience, and more importantly when problems do arise (and they do!) we will work to overcome those problems and still deliver a great product. I have much appreciation for the relationships I have gained through working with Angie's List customers. We are not just an interior painting company, but we cover many areas of the home from exterior painting, decks, wood restoration (front doors), driveway sealing, cabinetry painting and refacing, light carpentry, stenciling, wallpaper removal, drywall repair and finishing, wainscoting, ship lap walls, fiberglass door staining, handrail and balustrade refinishing, light electrical and hanging of artwork. I want you to know we appreciate the opportunity to work with you, and without great customers we can't have a great business. I believe we are willing... and therefore we have been able to satisfy our customers thus far, and will continue to do so in the future.

"Great guys. Professional, timely, neat and communication was excellent. Will definitely hire again."

"If I could give more stars, I would. I had hired a different company to paint my gray house to a creamy white. It took them 4 weeks. I noticed they were cutting corners but they assured me they knew what they were doing. Fast forward 4 months later, paint starts to literally fall off. Rotted wood was painted over and not replaced. A neighbor recommended Wulfhorst Painting and Remodeling and I'm grateful they did. Brad and his team fixed their sloppy work and it looks absolutely amazing. And they had to start from scratch, pressure washing, removing peeling paint, and replacing rotten siding. It took them one week and I couldn't be happier. I was so impressed with their service and competitive prices that now I'm looking for them to renovate my master bath. Reliable, honest companies can be hard to find, so glad I found them."

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.
