"We highly recommend A Refreshing Touch to anyone looking for an exceptional painting or wallpaper contractor. Words cannot express our gratitude to Heather and Alyssa for going above and beyond on our large interior painting project. Heather was responsive to questions and offered expert input, which we thankfully followed. I was blown away by their desire to ensure the highest standards possible--as if it were their own house. We are extremely pleased with their professional workmanship, outstanding price for the size and quality of the entire project, and they even finished ahead of schedule. Being a former contractor, I respect their good reputation. They are among the best contractors we have used."

"Chris and his team did a stellar job of painting our home's exterior trim work and door in October of this year! I appreciated Chris's communication and professionalism as well as the excellent finished result of our freshly painted home. I've been recommending him to our friends and family already, and I thought it was about time to rave about him on Angie's List!"

"It went great! These gentlemen did a fine job. They had many tasks ahead of them, and they handled it very well. I have asbestos siding which needed power washing( chalky), old peeling windows that needed to be scraped, and a sizeable deck they painted as well. This was done in less than two days, the power washing was completed several days before hand."

"I love working with Jim. Prior to coming out and charging me, he tried walking me through fixing it over the phone. This was on his time at 8pm. Then he was out promptly the next day to fix it."

"Thanks gang!!! Having a husband with a Trumatic brain injury that thinks he can still do everything causes problems that makes a small project into something bigger sometimes. We decided to use Anthony since he’s a locally owned small business. He was quick to respond, very well priced, and very efficient. My favorite part, is that he was patient and actually worked with my husband and showing him how to tackle the project. Such a blessing to have someone with that much patience to show somebody with a Trumatic brain injury how to problem solve and complete the project. Keep Anthony’s number! He’s one of the good guys."

Bethany Beach, DE 7/22/2022 Paint or Stain Exterior Surfaces We hired DMJ Custom Colors to clean and apply solid color stain to treated wood skirting on our beach house. Dennis spent much time with me advising me on which products would be best. He even provided a contact with a paint manufacturer and encouraged me to consult with him. This was extremely helpful. He and his men did a wonderful job, with great attention to neatness and detail. He promptly responded to ever contact and finished the job promptly. We could not be more pleased. His price was a little higher but I was willing to employ him because of his helpfulness. It was a great experience and I will use him again. 5.0 Beth M. Bridgeville, DE 7/15/2022 Paint or Stain Exterior Surfaces Dennis and his crew did a fantastic job on my exterior house painting. I have a cedar shake house and I was worried how good of a job a company could do. With DMJ Custom Colors Painting my house was in excellent hands. They sealed the windows and doors, painted my chimney, and even replaced a whole end side of shakes that were rotting. Of course upon my approval, their communication was definitely professional I highly recommend Dennis and his crew at DMJ for any painting project you have. My house looks wonderful!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Fenwick Island, DE

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.
