Customers say: Quality work

"Jeff is very knowledgeable and experienced. He is very highly skilled and did an amazing job of wallpaper removal with very little wall damage that he repaired and primed for painting. The work was so amazing and unexpectedly successful that we also had Jeff paint the rooms as well. Originally, we were only going to remove paper from one room but his work was so good that we had him remove the paper from 3 rooms that I thought would be impossible. It was easy for Jeff and he is definitely the best for the job. You will be very pleased to select Jeff for your job."

"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!"

"I called Blue Crew Painters to get an estimate. The estimated it for 1735 for painting the house which includes the cost of the paint and labour. I have asked them to paint my condo with Sherwin-Williams paint. To my surprise, they started painting my condo with PPG Paint without informing me about the change. the quality of work is good. Mr Aker is a skillful man. I really like his skill. I would recommend him for his craftsmanship.
But, I have problems with a month after painting, i see many dark translucent spots on my walls. I suspect this may be due to to the quality of the paint. I have tried to contact Aker several times. I get a response but i do not have a solution yet. I wish, for the price they have quoted for a 800Sq Ft condo, i get a better quality paint.

I'm very grateful to have met Luis. As a homeowner, you strive to have contractors in trades that you can trust and that do great work. I've found that in Luis and Standard Painting. As time passes and we need painting, there's only one company we will call on, Standard Painting."

Albert?s man came in at 9:30am.  He had the wallpaper and the glue removed by noon, the walls patched (my walls didn?t need much patching) and primed by 2:30pm and the main coat of paint completed by 4:00pm.  He didn?t hesitate when I asked him to also paint/freshen up the trim.  He even walked in with trim paint in his hand and asked about it before I asked.  He did a fantastic job that I refuse to do myself and I do a lot of my own home repair and upgrading.  He covered my new cabinets and countertops to protect them.  He cleaned everything and left no mess of any kind.



I highly recommend Albert?s team of good hard workers that take the time to do the job right and attention to detail.  I?ll be calling them back in a few months to repaint my entire family room.  Thank you Albert for the great job.

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.
