Customers say: Quality work

"Jason is a perfectionist, the time and care he puts into his work is well worth every penny you spend. Jason removed wallpaper in 2 rooms, then prepped them and re painted. Jason takes so much pride in his work that I actually seen him sand a wall he already painted because of a spot he didn't like. In this day and age, its hard to find a contractor who takes that much pride in there work. It was a great pleasure getting to Jason. As we used to say back in the day, Jason is now our paint guy!!"

"Emory informed me that the gutter backing was shimmed to the frame of the house with the hardyplank siding leftovers. :( He reinforced the backing the way it should have been from the start. Very knowledgeable and great work,would recommend Emory for any job,big or small!"

"The painters we're punctual, and respectful. They painted all the ceilings in my home, and 2 large walls. When touching up a wall that I painted, they discovered the color didn't match. They consulted with me, and ended up painting more than expected. In spite of that, all of this work was done in one day! The owner and the painters we're very professional. I highly recommend them."

"That particular company had been getting a bad rep before we used them. We went ahead and used them and it was not an insurance claim and they did an excellent job. They're competitive and very comparable to everybody else in our area. They're not any more expensive, they're not any less. They do a really good job, what they promise to do, they do."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Dahlonega, GA

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.
