"Repainted kids bedroom and wallpapered the main wall. Extremely pleased with the final result and the overall experience. Worked over two days and was responsive and communicative. Requested numerous bids from other providers and Michael's pricing was inline with other bids. Worked performed at an UWS coop building. Michael had all necessary insurances and was able to turnaround a COI in less than 24 hours. Extremely please with the quality of the work - would hire again"

"THIS is the place to call for a great wallpaper job. Kevin has the eye and the patience to do the job right. Prompt, courteous, professional, and experienced…. And he left the room cleaner than when he arrived (And my cat loved him!) I highly recommend Shamrock Wallpaper and Paint and will absolutely use again in the future for any painting or wallpapering. Prices are reasonable and the work is excellent. He was a genius working within a tiny bathroom space to make the prints match up. What a gem! Save yourself time, don’t even look elsewhere. And he left things so clean (I cannot stress that enough)"

"I think everyone can agree that we enter into home improvement projects with a bit of nervousness and unease especially if you are working with someone for the first time. Touch of the Brush Painting was recommended by a friend of mine, so we decided it was time to update the interior of our home. Jack and his team painted almost all of the inside of home (excluding bathrooms), but they were professional, walked us thru the entire process, paid attention to every detail no matter how small or big, were considerate of our home, including all of us working or studying from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only did they do a fantastic job, it came out better than I could have ever imagined. I feel like I have brand new home that is beautiful again. Anyone who is considering painting their home, having some drywall repairs done, Jack stands behind his work and does a great job! I highly recommend him! Thank you again, Jack. Gunner says hi and misses you!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Brooklyn, NY

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.
