"Great paint job two floors two colors about 20 hrs of work can't beat speed or price. I will be using them for my third floor and garage. My only suggestion would be for the company to use a service like [*** Link removed ***] to handle schedules and contract paperwork."

"Great interactions with estimate, project coordination, and actual project completion. They painted our foyer, living room, and dining room. The dining room needed wallpaper removed from lower half of wall and the upper half had a dark color that we wanted changed back to off white. They did excellent work in each room, fair price, and finished on time without any issues. Already planning to work with them again on another project."

"Alfredo and his crew did an excellent job. They worked quickly, but the wallpaper was hung with precision. The crew cleaned up so that there no trash for us to remove. The men were personable and professional. Alfredo communicated with us quite a bit before the job, as well. I highly recommend him for wallpaper jobs, and I understand that he has a variety of other renovation skills. Alfredo is pleasant, honest about the scope of the job, and great to work with."

"Benito and Julio were fantastic! I was going to try putting up the wallpaper by myself but I got SO nervous that I contacted Angi's list. Julio did the painting and Benito did the wallpaper. I had not touched my kitchen in 20 years and I felt so happy watching them get the job done correctly. I highly recommend R&B Pro Painting!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Fairfax Station, VA

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.
