"Dale removed our wallpaper in the the dining room and living room. I've used Dale before, so I knew he would do quality work. He arrived on time and went to work promptly. Dale works by himself, and is fast, neat and efficient. Not a single mark or gouge in our walls. He also washes the wall to remove all traces of paste. I would have no other person or company do wallpaper removal.... Dale is the best I've ever seen at this craft!"

"Dave’s work is nothing short of outstanding.... punctual, professional, meticulous, and clean. My large eat-in kitchen and two hallways were completed in just under a day and a half. When it comes time to have the other rooms in my house done, Off The Wall is the only company I’ll hire."

"This was the best experience I've had as a homeowner hiring for home improvement.  The quality of work for the price just can't be surpassed.  <br> <br>We needed to update our formal living room, dining room, and downstairs hallway with a more modern paint color after we moved into our house in December 2015.  We called Josh and he came to our home for an estimate.  He took his time and listened carefully then composed a detailed estimate that he sent via email to both my husband and myself which is incredibly convenient and provides documentation.  Communication with Josh is prompt, clear, and overall outstanding in customer service.   We decided to wait for paint and would let Josh when it was in our budget to hire him. <br> <br>About 8 months in we were ready financially to make the upgrade.  I emailed Josh and let him know that we would love to have him come and paint the aforementioned rooms and again he promptly replied and set up a time with me. <br> <br> <br>Josh arrived right on time each day and he finished the 2 rooms and hallway the first day.  I had him work solo in our home for two days and I was so impressed with his work.  He made minor repairs where needed, primed, and painted the walls. When I came home I was just in awe.  My house was completely and beautifully transformed.  The work was meticulous and he left no mess.  We also had a home repair that necessitated the painting of our downstairs ceiling.  This was not originally in the estimate but he kindly took on the job and had that done the next day.  Again meticulous work. <br> <br> <br>Josh is kind, professional, detailed, hard working, and outstanding at his profession.  We will hire Josh again to remove wallpaper and paint our upstairs hall and bedrooms.  You will not be disappointed and the cost of his work is an absolute value for the quality and time you save yourself.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND! <br> <br> <br>"

"I received a good estimate and ideas/suggestions for painting my home. I had heard several word of mouth recommendations about Toth Painting so I felt good about the decision to let them do the work. The house looks great and I have received several compliments from neighbors."

"Scott personally visited to view and give estimate. At a later date a crew of three men pressure washed the deck. Debris and chips flew everywhere, but they had covered the plants to protect them, and when they were done they hosed off the siding. They even helped move some of the heavier items off the deck before starting. They were careful and professional. The date for staining had to be rescheduled a couple of times due to rainy weather and work schedules. A crew of four arrived and in one afternoon, did some additional sanding and wood prep, filled in a couple of small holes (at no extra charge), helped move the furniture, and applied two coats of stain. They were friendly and answered our questions. Obviously they were experienced because they worked well together. Two things come to mind with this job. First, on the day of staining, they used an electronic moisture meter to verify that the wood was sufficiently dry to apply the coatings. Second, where the deck rails meet the house at two locations, there was not a single drop or smear of stain on the vinyl siding. Very impressive! When they were gone, there was no sign they had been there, except for a clean, fresh, new-looking deck."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Avon Lake, OH

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.
