Chewelah Painting was started in Chewelah in 2008 after relocating to Eastern WA, from Southeast Alaska. For years we have focused on delivering the highest standard of paint, stain, and special coatings for homeowners, builders, and business owners. Eastern Washington is our service area, from the Canadian Boarder to Dusty and Idaho to Omak. We serve the residential, commercial, government, tribal, and agricultural markets of Spokane, Stevens, Pend Orielle, Ferry, Okanogon, Lincoln, and Whitman Counties. We also accept large scale and difficult to access custom home re-paints, large scale deck sanding & refinishing and large scale home or log staining projects at Lake Coeur d’Alene and Priest Lake. As a company, Chewelah Painting is committed to constantly raising the skill level of our employees, and maintain a companywide training and feedback program. \n\nWe are know for lasting re-paints. A repaint is any paint job after the first. With a repaint comes lots of surface preparation. Washing to remove dirt and contaminants without damaging substrates or property, scraping to remove loose and failing paint, refastening trim boards, caulking and sealing for weather and appearance, priming bare substrates and questionable surfaces for proper adhesion and longevity, applying the appropriate amount of paint in thickness and number of coats, all play into why our paint jobs last as long as possible.\n\nOur deck teams are employees whose only job is to sand and refinish your deck and make it look awesome again, with our dust free sanding equipment. Once complete we can maintain that look for a fraction of the cost so you deck is always Barbecue ready. This is the only process we know of to give you the longest amount of life out of your deck coatings, whether it is paint or stain. \n\nChewelah Painting refinishes log homes inside and out. Our employees are trained and certified by Perma Chink on their recommended coatings application and processes. \n\nOur carpentry Division can install new siding, repair rot, fix broken facia boards, install a new door or window, flash a leaking window, build a new deck or fence. On the inside, we can install trims or crown moldings, install new doors for a fresh new look. Working with a single contractor on your repairs prior to painting means better schedule coordination, back to normal faster, and ensures everything meets our standards for quality and longevity.

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Athol, ID

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.
