No, colours generally do not affect the price of our professional painting services. However, the total cost may vary depending on the type of paint you choose – whether it's a more expensive, higher-quality option or a more cost-effective variety.

The number of coats needed can also influence the final price, as certain colours may require more layers for full coverage. Furthermore, the size and complexity of the area to be painted can also impact the overall cost.

Protecting your property is our top priority while painting. We make sure all furnishings and floors are thoroughly covered with clean, new plastic sheeting or drop cloths. Additionally, all non-painted surfaces and areas are safely masked off to prevent any overspray.

The number of wallpaper rolls you'll need depends on several factors, including room size, pattern repeat, and wall height. As a general rule, one standard roll covers about 50-60 square feet.

However, the exact amount can vary, especially if the wallpaper has a complex pattern that requires matching. To ensure you purchase the correct number of rolls, we suggest consulting with our professionals. They can provide an accurate estimation based on your specific needs. Additionally, they can offer guidance on other necessary materials and techniques for your wallpaper project. 

It is possible to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, but it's not generally recommended. Doing so can lead to uneven surfaces and allow old, peeling wallpaper to affect the new layer. We typically recommend removing old wallpaper for seamless and professional results.

Removing the old wallpaper ensures that the new wallpaper adheres properly, providing a smooth and long-lasting finish. Additionally, it helps to prevent any hidden issues, such as mould or water damage, from being concealed. This approach ultimately saves time and effort in the long run.
