"I hired Brian Kennedy and his team to paint the back and front porches of my triplex in Dorchester. This involved three different colors of paint and the use of an oil primer. I solicited other painters to make bids and found Brian's pricing to be very reasonable. Brian was a pleasure to work with. He clearly knows his trade and has put together a very skilled team. The paint job they did is immaculate--better than I expected! Brian and his crew were punctual and professional the whole way through. I will definitely be hiring him again in the future."

"LB Special Projects is an excellent company. I am very happy with the results of my project. They took over a kitchen and bath remodel that had been running for eight months. The toughest part of the job was correcting the work of the previous contractor. So much time, materials and money had been wasted and getting someone to come in behind another contractor is a real challenge. However, LB Special Projects sized up the effort, figured out what had to be done, estimated the work and did a fantastic job. They finished the job in what I think was record time. One of the many projects that they took care of, and that amazes me the most, was the floor patch in the kitchen. They managed to find the right sized planks to patch a 100-year old floor. They then refinished the entire first floor. It looks amazing. I'm very happy with the work and their professionalism and I will call them back for more projects. I highly recommend them."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Boston, MA

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.
