Painter or contractor?

Painter or contractor?

My kitchen has old, peeling wallpaper on the walls. Also, some spots definitely need spackling.
I want to rip off the wallpaper, sparkle, paint, and put up beadboard. Is this a job for a painter or do I need a contractor? I'd be willing to take down the wallpaper myself.

Any recommendations?

I think a handyman would handle that. It is usually someone who does painting plus other stuff.

You could also DIY-the spackling isn't hard, but you might need to rent/borrow tools for the beadboard if you don't do a lot of DIY.
