"Omar was very helpful in helping to choose the right type of wallpaper for my bathroom. He did an excellent job preparing the walls and his work on the wallpaper installation is meticulous. I could not be more pleased."

"M&H Painting did an incredible job. They addressed every flaw in the wall.... popped drywall screws, small cracks, ceiling drywall issues so that it they are fixed perfectly. They show up on time and finish on time. They replace everything they move so it's as if they were never there. By far the best paint job at a very fair price I have experienced. I highly recommend Honorio and his team!"

"We had interior walls/trim painted and ceiling popcorn removed and refinished. When Serpaco estimated the project, I pointed out several wallboard repairs we had made previously (3 inch hole that squirrel in attic made, holes in ceiling where I had hanging plants, wallpaper removal scars) that I feared would be difficult to conceal because we are not skilled wallboard repairers. Mason said this would not be a problem. He was right. The walls look amazing. They look brand new—thirty years of wear & tear had disappeared. The ceilings look as good as the walls—smooth even finish and crisp line where wall & ceiling meet. So nice to be rid of the popcorn. Painters were courteous, professional, and skilled craftsmen. Floors were well protected and after cleanup, I did not find any splatters at all. Excellent and quality work! Will use again and recommend to others."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Cornelius, NC

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.
