"Very happy with the results from Wilbur Gonzalez and his crew. His estimate was spot on, he worked with my schedule and did a great job. He plastered, painted and restored a room that had been severely neglected for many years. I would highly recommend him and his team."

"I can’t say how pleased my husband and I were with Ben and his team. They arrived when they said they were going to, worked efficiently, cleaned up after themselves and did the most beautiful work and for a competitive price. I recommend them to all my friends."

"Pro: Meticulous, professional, timely, excellent work product. Would re-hire them without a second thought. Con: Can't think of any, except maybe that they aren't the cheapest? We tend to not hire the cheapest service providers anyway - usually get what you pay for. We recently moved to Charlotte; knew when we bought the house that the relatively recent addition needed some fresh attention to address the original painter's failure to prime, resulting in deteriorating paint as well as some wood rot on windowsills and trim. We saw Serpaco Painting busy at work on historic homes in Dilworth and decided that if they can be entrusted with that work, we should at least get a quote. The owner, Chris Gray, arrived to give an estimate and we knew right away he is the kind of person we prefer to give our business to. He took time to carefully evaluate the job and give us what we felt was a reasonable estimate - he described his business as not the cheapest but not the most expensive. When the crew arrived, his crew chief, Hugo, was also personable and professional. The crew remained roughly the same throughout the job and were pleasant and polite (never saw a cigarette around them, either). They consistently showed up when they said they would, explained what the day's priorities were and then followed through. Chris was onsite at least once a day to keep apprised of progress and to point out any additional priorities to Hugo and the crew, and also to touch base with us. He also provided well-reasoned advice about colors and contrasts when we asked. The job ended up requiring more woodworking than anticipated as there was some additional, hidden rotted wood. Hugo may be primary a painter but he is also an adept craftsman, rebuilding our front porch facade and column. They prepped more than any painting crew I have ever seen, sanding for about a week before starting any paint. The priming was thorough and the painting very well-done. When the job was deemed to be nearly complete, Chris came to walk around with us. He noticed the things we had noted, but also pointed out several other areas that were not to his liking; Hugo came back the next day to repaint one of our shutters that was a little streaky, and one entire side of the house that needed another coat to counter the effects of the sanding that was required (the extra coat improved it tremendously), but also to take off, sand, and refinish our front door. Although the front door was not part of the coat, it seemed that the bleach used in pressure washing the siding had dripped through the plastic-and-tape covering intended to protect the door. The refinished front door looks great, too. We are extremely happy with the finished product and suggested that Chris can keep his sign in the yard as long as he wants."

"Luna and his team were excellent. They did an absolutely amazing job and we’re so friendly. Great customer service all around. I have lived in the home for a while now and can find no issues at all. They sanded the walls prior, because Luna showed me where there were many rough spots all over the walls which felt like sandpaper; the flat builder paint hides this poor sanding job. If he had not shown me this my eggshell paint I was having applied would have shown every single bad spot and looked awful. Even with the sanding; it was a extremely good price for the job. I even got the garage painted it was such a good deal! I would use Luna again no question and have recommended him and his team to many of my neighbors and friends. Hire Queen City Painting and will not be sorry."

"We're taking him to small claims court, along with some other unsatisfied customers that had very disturbing things to say about this individual. They painted my entire house.  Not a bad job there but the very inexperienced crew that was sent damaged my windows while trying to work on minor repairs. It was a $14,000 job that they never finished because they were supposed to come back and remediate the damages and never did. Greg, the owner, promised to do right but never came back. He will not answer calls nor texts. Do not advance any money or he will disappear. "

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Davidson, 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.
