"Tammy was incredibly careful with removing the wallpaper I needed gone. The walls were not damaged at all! She arrived punctually and I never even saw her, I just came home to beautifully unwallpapered walls. Would highly recommend!"

"One task that I hired Bill for was to remove wallpaper and paint a bathroom and the other was to patch a living room ceiling. On both jobs Bill did good work, Bill was pleasant and knowledgeable. He gave good estimates and patiently answered my questions. He gave me target dates and times and kept them. He kept me informed. He put down drop cloths on the access floors. The work was high quality. He left the work areas clean. I was very pleased with the quality of his work and his service."

"Greg and his crew were wonderful- professional, punctual, reasonably priced, and the attention to detail was top notch. We had a rather large job with wallpaper removal and painting in multiple rooms. Our house looks amazing and we will definitely hire GT again for our painting needs."

"Did a wonderful job updating our foyer. Tried to remove paper myself originally but couldn't, so we got his number from a friend. He removed the wallpaper very quickly and painted all that he took down. It took a very tall ladder to reach the top of our foyer. Walls look beautiful and josh cleaned up well each day. It took 4 days. I will be hiring again in the spring to do our kitchen."

"Tim and his team painted out all of my bathroom cabinetry, as well as installing new mirrors over the vanity and new lighting fixtures in both of my bathrooms. The work was impeccable and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. It completely changed the look and feel of the bathrooms! I would highly recommend Cohen's Painting and Papering to anyone!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Cleveland, 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.
