"Professional, timely and thoughtful! Charlie, Joe, and the crew were one of the neatest/tidiest contractors we have worked with, and even more important, we’re honest and hardworking. Charlie has long-standing experience and expertise. He and the crew provided helpful recommendations on paint choices, kept us informed throughout the project, and their attention to detail was better than ours! We look forward to having them back for inside work this fall or winter! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Joe and his team, Dave and Dillon, are superior craftsmen.  They repaired and finished work that a previous person had done incorrectly and left incomplete. Joe and his crew are efficient, competent professionals. They finished a poorly done, unfinished mess to a beautiful creation.  I cannot say enough how good they were, how honest and pleasant.  They cleaned up thoroughly.  "

From start to finish, any questions or concerns I had were resolved with patience and respect. John's advice and suggestions guided me to select color choices that I'm really happy with. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a painter and I plan to call him for any future painting I need done."

"The first word that comes to mind when describing Schwartz Decorating is "meticulous". From the moment they brought their equipment in to the time they left, every action was completed with the upmost care and expertise. The living room needed to have wallpaper removed, new reapplied, and painting to the moldings and ceiling. They came in right on time at 8 AM. They worked steadily and quietly. When they left for the day, the living room was left neatly. BUT, all this, while great, is easily surpassed by the professionals they had installing and painting! So professional yet personable. So ready to respond to a question about the project. So neat and clean (hasn't always been the case on other inside work). Pricing. Someone wrote they were expensive. I asked four companies to submit a proposal for the work. Kurt Schwartz Decorating was neither the highest nor the lowest proposal. His was in the middle. Added bonus, Kurt, himself, came every morning when his team was there to answer any questions before the start of the day. The living room looks amazing! The wallpaper and paint were applied meticulously. It couldn't have been done any better. It is the first time I had them come here; it won't be the last!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Farmington, NY

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.
