"From the time Matt showed up at my house to provide an estimate to the completion of our roofing project, I have been completely impressed with Prime Management professionalism, quality and service. They exceeded my expectations in terms of finished work and left my yard and driveway cleaner than when they came. They excelled in their communication. Their team was friendly and man were they hard working. They put in 12 hour days to get the job done. Also, with a job this large, you always expect some issue or a hidden charge here and there or something - there was none of that, there bill reflected the estimate provided. I highly recommend this company - you will be impressed with their work."

"Al was very kind and straightforward. He did initially tried to charge me a little more than the average for the area but after I explained that I had done research for the labor costs and already have materials he got the cost significantly also mention that you found him on Angie's List. I am very pleased with how the floor looks they did a very quick job some very weird layouts because my house is strange though I love its eccentricity. Though it takes a long time to book him because he is usually busy he works very fast, but not sloppily, and the work was completed in approximately 4 days with a small crew of three one of whom was his son. we are almost done with most of our work but I'm a call him back for some minor repairs thing that needs to be completed the only complaint I have is that at least one of the workers is a smoker and I found a few cigarette butts in my yard or in the bushes next to where they were sawing which was not very pleasant. That is a minor complaint though because as contractors go they show up on time and they get the work done and they get the work done well; which, I don't know if you use very many contractors, is unusual and a good thing. Overall I would use them again in a heartbeat and I would suggest them to other people.

"The owner, Eric Cooley, and his crew are professional, punctual, priced well and have great attention to detail.  We were impressed by every aspect of the process with Cooley Painting starting with the estimate we received to the final stroke of the paint brush.  They took a week and painted the inside of our home (ceilings, trim, baseboards and walls).  It was beautiful when we returned home!  The outside paint took a little longer as we had winter weather to deal with but they made sure it was done correctly.  We would absolutely use Cooley Painting again!

"I noticed back in July that walls in my den were 'splitting'. upon further inspection, 2 walls were vertical random width/length 3/4' flooring planks & the remaining walls paneling. The adjacent bath was shower board which was also splitting. Mike came out the 1st week of August for a job estimate & his crew started job 10 days later. Job was done on time according to contract. His crew was punctual, clean, & very professional. They were also good about cleaning up daily after work. During this job, another problem involving the foundation was found. A previous shower pan leak had caused wood rot with the foundation & had been 'fixed' with 2x4s and 4x4s that were in contact with the crawl space. Mike had a foundation specialist come in and attach steel beams, remove rotten wood, & fix the problem correctly. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Birmingham, AL

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.
