"Project: Severe damage to our drywalls due to Wallpaper removal. Walls were stripped all the way down to the paper. There was no way that an inexperienced homeowner could repair this damage!! We needed an expert! Thankfully, we used HomeAdvisor and found Richard from Accentuate Walls! Demeanor: Richard was truly a pleasure to speak with. He is extremely patient and understanding of these unique times!! We had 3 children virtually attending school, a crazy 15-month-old puppy, and adults working from home. He was understanding and supportive of this unique situation. Not to mention, he rolled with the times...there is never a dull moment at our house...lol and he completely rolled with it all! Professionalism: Richard is punctual, honest, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable. He was detailed and clear when describing the work to be conducted, the process it takes, and the finished product. He was readily available for all questions and concerns. Most importantly, he took the time to explain each step of the project and walked my husband and me through the process from start to finish! He went above and beyond to ensure that we were informed each step of the way (We learned so much about this craft and skill just from speaking and working with him!). Richard also provided great suggestions and resources for the current project and additional projects. We bought a fixer-upper and can use all the assistance, suggestions, and feedback! We are grateful to have his experience, incites, and knowledge within the field!!! Craftmanship/Finished Work Product: Richard is extremely knowledgeable about his craft! There are not many individuals who are certified to complete a project such as ours (severe drywall damage) or use the specific technique our drywall repair. The severe damage required skim coating on ALL of our living room and dining room walls!! Not to mention the hallway too! It was a disaster that needed a highly qualified individual like Richard! The finished work was truly BEAUTIFUL! His work is flawless and impeccable!! It was above and beyond my expectations! I highly recommend using Richard for drywall and plaster needs!!!"

"Jeff and his crew are wonderful. They were all very efficient and meticulous , and nice! They were all a pleasure to have around. Jeff was able to accommodate our crazy work and childcare schedule, completing our whole house project within 2 weeks. We needed full 2 story home wallpaper removal, wall prep, and paint. Some of the walls needed patching or repairs, and he took care of those as well. I really appreciated him giving us a variable estimate, with a high amount that was the maximum of what it could be.. Because he was not sure the actual total time of repairs and prep. In the end, our total was a bit lower than we had prepared for. They use/provide Benjamin Moore paint. Wonderful. We absolutely recommend Jeff and this business."

"We contracted with Statewide Painting to paint the interior of our home. We needed woodwork repaired/replaced, wall and ceiling seams repaired, nail pops repaired, wallpaper removed, woodwork and windows painted. The job was a challenge since it involved almost every room in the house. Dan brought his team in, and in a little over three we the entire job was completed. The rooms needed 2 - 3 coats each along with the repairs. Shout out to two key members of Dan's team, David and Christian for their attention to detail and how accommodating they were for our requests. The team cleaned up at the end of each day, covered all the flooring and furniture when working in a room, and when extensive sanding needed to be done, they were able to seal the room in plastic to reduce the spackle dust. Dan was onsite most days to make sure things were progressing and many days were painting walls, woodwork anything that needed attention. We would highly recommend Statewide for your painting projects."

"We were not pleased with the work of this company.  While the price is right, there were so many things that went wrong on the job that I'm not sure if I can remember all of them.
First of all, when I hire a painter, my assumption is that they will work on my job only until the project is complete.  This was not the case.  The painters left the job for days on end, being called to other locations.  The work was sloppy in numerous places - we had to keep calling them back to correct things.  I also had bedroom furniture damaged when the workers moved my end tables to another room - they didn't take the care necessary to protect them.  Walls under light covers/cable covers were not painted - they were left the original color of the rooms.  My bedroom wall has cracked in one place already - as they didn't do the repair needed in that area evidently to prevent that from happening.  Paint has chipped in other areas - something which should not happen so soon after completion.
At exterior painting they also didn't take care to protect elements of the home properly.  I had paint spatter covering newly installed railings at my front walkway, stains applied incorrectly on wood lattice which they installed (numerous empty areas - should have used a spray gun for that or painted it before installation), totally ruined my exterior balcony door with using too thick a layer of paint on it.  There were paint brush hairs all over the door as well, paint on screens (why they weren't removed or covered is beyond me), spattered paint on a custom mailbox, and the same on our house number plaque.  
There is more, but I'll just leave it at it was an extremely sloppy job which took literally WEEKS to complete and I was told it would take less than 1 week.  
While there were some circumstances that made the job take longer (some weather related and some of his workers having personal problems), the amount of errors exceeded what would be considered excusable.
The only good thing I can say is that from far away, the house looks ok and, the owner Phil (others mention a different name, not sure why) tried to be as pleasant as possible throughout this.

"John and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. John makes sure everything is discussed before starting the project and creating the contract. He goes shopping with you to ensure best options are selected. His team is very professional, clean up after themselves so you never knew they were there. John is very responsive and open to any issues or questions that may arise and is very cost conscious and economical for any issues that may be discovered throughout the process. Highly recommend John and his team"

"It was a difficult project requiring the removal of current siding, then significant patching, sanding and carpentry to prepare the original clapboard for paint. The crew was very hard working and super creative when it came to solving problems. They showed up on time every day and finished the project according to schedule. The price was very reasonable and no surprise charges. We are very pleased with AAA and would highly recommend them."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Clinton, NJ

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.
