"Jim is trustworthy, ethical, careful, and does high-quality work. He refinished existing cabinets for me, added slow-close hinges, and switched pull-out shelves for a trash can unit. Very satisfied."

"These guys did great work and in a timely manner. They were recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed. I was really impressed with their cleanliness. They used the highest quality available paint as requested at contract signing. Communication was always clear. I will be using this company again in the future."

"Fantastic work. Great painting crew; worked solid every day for two weeks; spent all but two days of that time prepping the stucco and wood; always took care of our property and cleaned up well. You will get a quote from Dave that seems high. Say ok anyway. These guys are the absolute best. Completely worth the money."

"They did a great job in under a week. My house is a wooden frame and fairly old. They did a good job repairing worn lumber before painting. They cleaned up the paint chips, etc. so that the house was ready for guests."

"Not only was the prep & painting exceptional, they were friendly and (more importantly) trustworthy. We had a huge project and they were meticulous and left the house in better shape each day when they left. No mess. Trust is paramount as we often had to leave throughout the day. I vouch for this company and will use them again...since the experience was go great, probably sooner than later!"

"Wonderfully! Dennis's team did a fabulous job and painted everything beautifully. They are polite, fast, friendly and clean up the mess - you can't even tell they were there painting. They are also very contentious about the work being done and won't just leave things just "OK" - my bedroom needed 3 coats instead of 2 and Pat didn't just leave it the way it was, she wanted me to be happy (no extra charge). This is the second time I've used Quality Counts and they are going to come back to paint my kitchen/family room/hallway/stairs and laundry room. I highly recommend them - Dora and Dennis are very accommodating for scheduling as well."

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.
