"If I could give more stars, I would. I had hired a different company to paint my gray house to a creamy white. It took them 4 weeks. I noticed they were cutting corners but they assured me they knew what they were doing. Fast forward 4 months later, paint starts to literally fall off. Rotted wood was painted over and not replaced. A neighbor recommended Wulfhorst Painting and Remodeling and I'm grateful they did. Brad and his team fixed their sloppy work and it looks absolutely amazing. And they had to start from scratch, pressure washing, removing peeling paint, and replacing rotten siding. It took them one week and I couldn't be happier. I was so impressed with their service and competitive prices that now I'm looking for them to renovate my master bath. Reliable, honest companies can be hard to find, so glad I found them."

"The Assured Construction team helped us transform a drab two season sun porch into a four-season sanctuary. The team brought all the things you look for in a contractor and more – highly skilled and creative craftsman, strong communicators, and respectful house guests who cleaned up each evening before wrapping up for the day. The Assured team were thoughtful partners who offered meaningful solutions as we bumped into old home unknowns. As the project came to life the kind people who shared our home with us over several months became friends. More than a year later when we had a warranty issue with new windows, the team walked every step of the way with us to see that it was fully resolved. We highly recommend this amazing team!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Cincinnati, 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.
