"They are a little pricey, but set up the project quickly and did a great job. I had a few questions for the foreman that initially came to the house. He had the typical call me for anything pitch, but never returned my call or answered my questions. The painting crew responded very well to my questions and needs though. Management shouldn’t make promises they don’t keep however. Anyway, the paint job was excellent."

"We had them install wallpaper in 3 rooms. One room was a bathroom with basic graphic wallpaper and 2 of the other rooms we had them install grass cloth wallpaper (dining room and study room). All of the rooms turned out really well. The owner, Carl, really stands by his work. I would hire them again for future projects."

"From start to finish, Poli Paint was a pleasure to deal with. I would have no hesitation recommending them to family and friends; if I needed any additional interior or exterior work, I would contact them. (They are licensed and insured) Claude and Ray are perfectionists who ensured the work was fantastic. Excellent painters who are also sincere and humble people."

"Fil did a great job on my guest bath and backsplash. Work was on time, neat and came out looking great. He took an old, dated bathroom and made it look brand new. I'm very pleased with the work.

I called Fil today about my master bath and he came over within a few hours. I had some major screw ups from a different contractor and Fil identified them immediately. I should have called him to begin with! He showed me pictures of his current jobs while he was here - they all looked like pictures you see in design magazines.

"We just used Bear Mountain Custom Painting to completely repaint the exterior of our house, including restaining our back deck and fixing wood rot issues on our cedar shingle siding. The work quality was exceptional from the entire team, starting with the sales coordinator (Zach). We had received several estimates from other companies and Bear Mountain was right in the middle, but we chose Bear Mountain because of their superlative reviews and the expertise that was immediately conveyed by Zach (who did a much more thorough survey of the house for wood rot issues, and also knew correctly that cedar siding needed to be stained rather than painted). Whereas other companies proposed just filling in wood rot with Bondo, the philosophy at Bear Mountain is that to make a durable repair, the rotten wood should be removed completely and replaced with rot-proof materials (PVC or pressure-treated wood). Having had previous bondo repairs of wood performed by the preceding homeowners fail, we were really impressed with the excellent carpentry work performed by Bear Mountain Custom Paiting. The work crew, led by Higi, was fantastic. Higi was a wonderful communicator, and any issues (like windows painted shut) were immediately rectified. Due to cold weather and rain, the crew couldn't work for several days, and this was always communicated to us in a timely fashion--they then would often bring a larger work crew the next day so as to finish the project on time. We were thrilled with the quality of the final work, as the house looks fantastic and we are confident that it will remain in excellent condition for years! They took care to clean up the site thoroughly at the end of the job, and took extra precautions to make sure that our exterior cameras were fully protected. This is an honest company of exceptional professionalism, and we would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to others."

"My exterior home painting went swiftly but very efficiently. Hugo and his teammate George arrived on Monday morning promptly and ready to get to work. They began my project pressure washing the home exterior, the driveway and my small patio slab. Tow rotted boards, one at front near the roof and another at back near the rain gutter were removed and replaced with PVC boards and caulked (various other areas of the hardy plank siding were also re-caulked). All windows, security cameras and light fixtures were covered and taped for protection from spraying of the paint. The painting commenced on Tuesday, the next day and went quickly but was very efficient. The guys listened carefully to my description of results I wanted to achieve responded respectfully to each of my inquiries/requests. They were careful to avoid damage to my flower garden and flower planters. My project went rather quickly and was completed sooner that I expected, however, the final results are amazingly beautiful. I believe our clear communications throughout the whole process is what enabled the work to progress smoothly. The guys returned two days later to install my purchased, decorative Gable Victorian Pediment (once it arrived) which completed the finishing touch of the project. My daughter and I are very pleased with the outcome, so are several of our neighbors. Hugo and George deserve my highest recommendation and positive review for a job well done. My Craftsman style cottage home is now a shining star of the entire Cul de Sac."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Atlanta, GA

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.
