"Minka’s crew were a pleasure to do business with. They did a fantastic job with not only painting but addressing and replacing rotted and missing wood. The condition of the house before was a neglected embarrassment. It now looks like a shining jewel or as someone else said, “stately.” I highly recommend Minka Painters! PpPp0ppppp.p. P B"

"The work consisted of repairing a stress crack running down the length of my living room ceiling and repainting a bedroom which included removing a wallpaper border at the ceiling. The living room ceiling is textured which required fixing the crack, re-texturing the entire ceiling and repainting. John Garrity explained my options and him and his crew did exceptional work. They were punctual, kept me updated along the way and cleaned up everything when done. In addition, a last minute job was hanging a ceiling fan in the painted bedroom which was not part of the initial work. I would definitely hire them again."

"Jacob did an incredible job painting rooms for me! He was reliable and affordable. My walls look wonderful and he never made a mess while working. The paint work is great as I have clean edging along all of my walls! Money was well spent."

"Jim and the members of his crew delivered on their promise of a quality paint job. They were thorough, meticulous and cleaned up the room nicely even between days they reported for work. I was very happy with the result. After trying to schedule with two other painters, scheduling with Jim went very smoothly. He keeps his customers entertained as well!"

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.
