"Patrick has more than one crew working at a time. He returns and checks their work once or twice a day. The crew we had was experienced, professional and meticulous in their work whether he was there or not. His price was fair and he completed the job during the time frame we had discussed. We couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome and would definitely use him again. <br />"

"Keshon and Timothy were our crew. Wow. I'm impressed. The. Best. Movers. I. Have. Ever. Used. They called me to see if they could come early. We weren't near ready. Didn't fase them. We had two dogs- standard poodle puppy and a toy poodle. They helped me put the dogs in the bathroom when they got out of the house. They were so kind, patient and sincere to my elderly Mom. They moved things out of the way quickly and efficiently and then patiently placed the dressers just where Mom wanted. Things were VERY dusty. Never a complaint. They found cash- immediately pointed out to me or my son. I asked for a large TV to go in my car- done. I would trust these guys to come not only back but to be in our home while I'm at work - something that I would rarely do. They are THAT professional. Excellent, hardworking gentlemen. Highly, extremely recommend them. (I'm very picky.)"

"Excellent workmanship! At the end of each day, they removed all their equipment and replaced furniture, so there was no disruption at all. Great work ethic and I will go with the company again when I require painting."

"Crew arrived on Tuesday morning and started setting up and laying down tarps. Covered everything. Got to work right away. Worked all day and cleaned everything up. Came back the next day and started where they left off the day before. The next few days they couldn't come back because of the weather. Mr. Martin called each night to let us know of any problems with weather effecting their arrival. <strong>Very professional and very likeable group of men.</strong> When the weather cleared up, they were right back at the job. Cleaned up everything when they were done (even though there was no paint slatter or mess) and after asking my wife and I how we felt about the job, they were gone. We highly recommend Paul Martin Painting and expect to have them back in the fall to stain our elevated deck."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Crittenden, KY

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.
