What to know about Wallpaper removal
Taking wallpaper off is priced as demolition and delivered as restoration, which is why quotes for it vary more than for almost any other interior job. Two crews looking at the same room can see completely different projects, because what determines the work is not the paper on the surface but what is under it: how the wall was prepared before the paper went up, how many layers have accumulated since, and whether somebody painted over the last one instead of removing it.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size of the area and ceiling height
- Condition of the walls, trim or siding
- Amount of prep and repairs
- Number of colours and coats
- Paint quality
- Access, including stairwells and upper floors
How to choose painters in St. Paul
- Ask how the painter will prepare the surfaces, since patching, sanding and priming matter as much as the paint.
- Get a written quote that lists which rooms or surfaces are included, the number of coats and who supplies the paint.
- Ask how they'll protect floors, furniture, landscaping and anything they can't move.
- In older homes, ask how they handle old paint that may contain lead.
- Look at recent work, paying attention to clean lines at ceilings and trim.
Questions to ask painters before you hire
- What prep work is included, such as patching, sanding, caulking and priming?
- How many coats are included, and what paint will you use?
- Are ceilings, trim, doors and closets part of the price?
- How will you protect my floors, furniture and plants?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance?
- What happens if I notice touch-ups needed after you finish?

Painters guide
Hiring a painter in the United States means hiring two things at once: a finish and a work method. The finish is what you see, and it comes down to preparation, the number of coats and the care taken at edges.

Interior Painting guide
Interior painting looks like the simplest job in the house to buy, which is why it is so often bought badly. The coating itself is a small part of what you are paying for.

Exterior Painting guide
An exterior repaint is a maintenance job disguised as a cosmetic one. The coating is what stops water reaching wood, and the part of the work that determines whether it lasts happens before any colour goes on: washing,…
