FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
As a 1979 Graduate of U.S. School of Professional Paperhanging, I enjoyed wallpapering until after a serious fall in Palm Springs, CA, forced a temporary retirement.
After working in an office management environment I grew restless for a more active lifestyle and developed a career in wallpaper removal. At that time, a full-time wallpaper removal business was totally unheard of. Nevertheless, I grew my business into a thriving enterprise and am pleased to be of service to my many clients.
My advice is: you get what you pay for. Contractors are NOT ‘interchangeable’.
From my experience, we provide an enviable level of service that is unmatched by many other contractors in this field. Indeed, wallpaper removal is most often an ‘occasional’ service for most contractors. We do this every day –for over 14 years.
