"The did a great job in the allotted time they gave. However, it's hard for the professional to bid the complete job through repainting before the wallpaper is removed as they don't know what the installed used to attach the wallpaper. Understandable, bur I'd recommend getting an itemized bid with a best case scenario from wallpaper removal to wall repair afterward to painting so you can review the total cost start to finish."

"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs.

"Hector and his crew were excellent. They showed up as scheduled, worked hard, and the house looks great. We interviewed 5 painters and Choc's Painting came out on top and we are pleased with the results. They also repaired some damaged wood and were able to make some modifications to the original plan without additional expense. Hector was available via text, email or phone and communication was no issue. Our project was completed on schedule /on budget and quality was top notch. Thanks! We will call them when we need some interior work in the future and give them the highest recommendation."

"Keith did a great job.  I got 3 bids and his was the most competitive.  It took him and his crew 4 days to complete my 3600 sq. ft. home.  Most of this time he was on his own in my new house since I was moving.  I told him he needed to be complete by the time the furniture arrived.  When the moving truck pulled up, his team was pulling out!  My house looked beautiful and everything was cleaned up and tidy.  He was very honest and trustworthy.  I will hire him again."

"I'm floored and I'm very picky. I had my requirements for them typed up because I didn't want to have a repeat performance of other painters who were unprofessional. They arrived on time with a contract. They were meticulous and methodical. They cleaned areas on the cabinets that had caked-on paint that was years old. I kept saying it was okay to stop because even I wouldn't see it but they continued. I had an old phone removed from a cabinet that seemed like a cool idea but looked stupid. One of the fellows, without prompting, got the right color putty and put it on. I'm still floored at how good they were. We were in a crunch - we want the house to go on the market yesterday. They came through. I'm extremely happy and they were extraordinarily good. Sherwin Williams helped by doing an exact match on 7 year old paint and giving us BC Pro's card (thank you SW). They had the right tools for the job and man, did they do a super duper job. Many thanks, everyone."

"Heath is very personable and prompt in answering phone calls before the job. He made "Special" pricing discounts to meet the cost restrictions I had. Some material aspects of the job needed to be cut back from other estimates I had gotten and were agreed upon. The starting and ending dates had to be postponed due to weather. After starting the job, it still took longer than expected. Heath did not supervise the job as he had indicated he would. He was more interested in getting another business started. The crew was friendly but not a regular crew. They were friends whose business was bad and they were helping Heath out. Some details of the job were not discussed beforehand and caused concern during the job but I felt I had no recourse once felt was left off half the house and roofing applied before the hole in the roof was patched. The roof patch done from the inside was not of the material specified in the contract and seems messily done. Here again, I didn't feel I could get it redone once installed. Clean up was not done well. They did not place tarps to catch all the debris inside the house and garage when taking off the roof. Even with having the crew come back a second time for cleanup, I still have a lot cleanup to do myself. Pieces of asphalt and grit and roofing nails cover the attic insulation and everything in my garage, and are scattered in my lawn aroung the house. The men on the job started out by putting ice breaks over the fron door and said they would put them over all doors, but, left the job without them. Heath came by for payment saying he had written checks to the crew which he couldn't cover. So, I gave him a check and a list of the things which had not been completed. I had seen leftover sheets of roofing material for completing the ice breaks before they left. When they returned the next week to complete the unfinished tasks, tiny pieces of metal roofing were cut and screwed on top of the roof rather than being shaped of larger sheets and installed under the lip of the roof as the first ones had been. That was how I expected the job to be done. I was not able to get the roof quarantee and tax credit paperwork from Heath. Once he received his last check, he stopped answering my calls or messages. He gave me a five year quarantee on the workmanship but doesn't answer calls. I think sheets of leftover material and the excess special screws I paid for should have been left with me for possible future use or I should have at least been consulted before their removal."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Asheville, NC

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.

After removing wallpaper, you can dispose of small amounts in your household trash. However, if you are removing wallpaper from your entire home, 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.

It takes a professional from several hours up to a full day to remove wallpaper from a single room. The removal duration depends on the type of adhesive, the age of the wallpaper, the condition of the wall, and the number of layers present. High ceilings and additional layers increase the time required, as extra care is taken to protect the wall surface while ensuring a complete removal.

Using fabric softener with water is an option for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited and depends on the type of wallpaper being used. This low-cost method is most effective on modern, less porous wallpaper and may not yield optimal results on vintage or textured varieties. It might also affect wall surface preparation for new coverings if the residue is not completely removed. For stubborn adhesive or textured surfaces, professional solutions are recommended to ensure a thorough removal without damaging the underlying wall.
