"If you're looking for a professional, detail oriented, careful, and expert painter then hire Scott!! He is all that, plus a really nice guy. We just moved into a house that was built in 1804, it needed new paint everywhere. Scott not only did a great job painting, he also addressed the many issues in the ceilings, trim and walls that have been overlooked for years. Now all the rooms look brand new! I am so glad I hired Scott, and you will be too!!"

"Do NOT use this company if you want a quality paint job. Certapro breached the contract and did not provide services specified in the contract. We printed the contract to show the painter before he started but he still failed to comply with the contract. Painter came with wrong paint, failed to do a coat of primer as specified, was unaware he was to paint the wood trim around 2 ceiling windows (also specified), paint coverage was very uneven & left large areas appearing as gray shadows next to areas that were painted more heavily, did not cut edges of room evenly, etc. Additionally Certapro painter damaged a section of dry wall on his last day. Photo shows the way he left it. We reached out to Certapro owner Scott, the office manager, and our salesman Matt with a detailed email and photos. Waited over a week but had no response from any one. Called our salesman - waited over a week again. Very poor customer service. Very poor quality of work. Spent a week repairing the substandard work ourselves. Absolutely do NOT recommend this company."

"Lenny and Lisa are great. During the demolition phase, Lenny took great care to cover our hardwood floors and cleaned thoroughly while removing the countertops and backsplash which really helped to keep the dust level down. Lisa recommended vendors for our granite, tile backsplash and sink - they were all so helpful. We have never done a kitchen renovation before and were a little anxious about the process and making choices. Lenny allayed our fears and was spot on with suggestions. Lisa was always available for communication and answering questions. The sub-contractors were all excellent, personable and professional. The whole job was finished ahead of schedule which allowed for our 18 month old granddaughter to come for an earlier visit! Overall we are thrilled with the outcome and will definitely use Apple Wood for future projects!"

"I cannot say enough compliments about Mack and his guys! From the first meet until the project was over, they were courteous, respectful of our space, and responsive. I hired them to expand a closet and turn it into a pantry and create a multi-purpose sink/dog wash and install a barn door. I'm so happy with how it all turned out. Bill was our main Jack of All Trades, and he was amazing! Wayne was our plumber, Tommy was our painter, etc. etc. They were all great guys. Definitely will call them again for future projects."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Exeter, NH

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.
