For 27 years Ultra Services has stood for excellent customer service and quality workmanship. We do what we say we are going to do, when we say we are going do it and for the quoted price. We are committed to making the contractor experience a pleasant one. You may find a better price but you will not find a better value. We have been a Super Service Award winner for 4 years in a row. Call today for a free estimate.

"My home suffered extensive damage when a water line broke on the second floor. I called Ultra Services and three other firms that were highly rated by rating services such as Angi, Google and Yelp to bid on the restoration project. The contrast between Ultra Services and the other three other firms was day and night. Ultra Services came out and took the time to take detailed notes on required work. Then they provided a detailed estimate that gave me a cost breakdown of all individual charges that I could compare to an insurance estimate. They were crystal clear about what was and was not included in their bid. As I learned more about what was needed, they cheerfully revised their estimate with the changes. Other firms simply gave me a final figure with almost no breakdown of costs, leaving me to wonder what specifics were actually included. In all, working with Ultra Services was a very positive experience in an otherwise very stressful time. Just as I was ready to commit to using Ultra Services I discovered that a friend of 20 years owned a company that performed only insurance related restoration claims work, and used the same estimation software that the insurance company used to align estimates and actuals. In the end, I did not engage Ultra Services, but it would be a disservice to not report that the quality of their up-front service is very impressive and highly recommended by me."

Rudy has been a leader in his industry for the past 26 years. He has won the Super Service Award every year since 2007! He is the expert in interior painting and drywall and works on every job with his small local crew. Rudy makes sure every job is competed to the owners satisfaction and is done the right way every time!

"This was the third time we've used Rudy. He was prompt and professional. I cut out a 2'x3' piece of sheetrock to install bracing for a TV wall mount. Rudy remounted the sheetrock I removed, taped and floated the joints then he retextured the area to match the original. It's difficult to match the existing drag texture but Rudy did a great job. Unless you know what to look for and where, you would never know the wall was repaired. We also had him come back to paint the repaired wall. For both jobs, he protected surrounding areas and was meticulous about his quality even to the point of retouching an area that I thought was fine but it didn't meet his standards. We will hire Rudy again for the next paint/sheetrock job."

John started in the drywall business in 1978. He is an Austin native and works on each and every job. He has an experienced crew to assist with larger jobs. He has been rated Top Drywaller in Austin for many years. Please text him at 512-789-0937 with your home address and type of work needed and he will call you back to discuss and set appointment.

"I am extremely happy with my experience with John and his company. A section of my garage ceiling fell and needed to be replaced. John outbid every other contractor with a fair price. He was professional, responding to ever call/text, and he confirmed day and time he would come to my house to complete the work. John and his team showed up promptly to do the work. It was amazing to watch how seamlessly he and his team worked. His experience and professionalism truly show, and there is no doubt he does his best work and takes pride in a job well done. At one point I told him not to worry about how pretty something looked because after all, it's a garage and it was an area in the corner. He said that if something is going to be done, it should be done correctly and done right the first time it's done. I should add that not only was the sheetrock replaced, but the length of the ceiling that was replaced was reinforced with 2 x 4 pieces of wood. That section of the ceiling definitely is NOT falling down any time soon. When all the work was done, they cleaned up and hauled away all the old material. You can't tell anything happened in the garage because of how clean they work. I highly recommend this company and would rehire in a heartbeat if any other drywall projects need to be done."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Austin, TX

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.
