"This company was as professional as the come, laying out all expectations on the front end regarding cost/time and not deviating from it. No delays. No hidden costs. The quality of the work impressed me with their superior straight lines and attention to detail. They were great to work with! I for one will be using them as my go-to painters in the future."

"I've hired Southern Painting to paint the interior and exterior of two homes, and I've been extremely pleased with their work each time. They are very professional and courteous, in addition to being highly capable and careful with my property. On the interior, Ines and crew did a great job painting my kitchen cabinets plus removing wallpaper, applying texture & paint to kitchen and master bath and as well as the garage, filling in/painting wall settling cracks as needed. On the exterior, they neatly re-stained my pergola, plus repaired the wood around windows, corners and eaves before repainting all the trim with precision and care. I'll definitely call on Terrence and Southern Painting again!"

"TERRIBLE. UNPROFESSIONAL. DISORGANIZED. DISRESPECTFUL. Firstly, these people have no control over their subcontractors. They come whenever they feel like it, regardless of when they tell you they are coming. I'd stay home all day waiting on these guys and more than once they wouldn't show up at all, and without at least letting me know. If you complain to the Anderson employees, they just shrug it off like it's your problem. The ceiling repair guys left all of their lunch trash on my front porch which was gross, and even worse when I discovered it the next morning after the critters got into it and spread it everywhere. The plumber kept cancelling at the last minute or showing up hours later than promised. One guy came out BY HIMSELF to install carpet in four rooms, and he ended up breaking a piano leg trying to move it alone. I called Anderson to complain, and soon after he got a call on his cell phone and he started bad-mouthing me in Spanish saying I was a liar and calling me rude names... In my own house. He then started packing up his stuff acting like he was going to leave after he had the living room all tore up in preparation to put down carpet. The Anderson guy decided the broken piano was my problem, and even though they are a restoration company, I needed to track down a piano repair person on my own, get them to come out, pay them, then get Anderson to reimburse me. After having little luck, they told me they'd just give me $250, which I agreed to, but they never paid me. After my last invoice came from them, I called their office and paid it over the phone. The lady on the phone said I was all caught up and I was glad to be done with these people... until six months later when I got a certified letter from their lawyers saying I still owed them money, and that they were going to sue me if I didn't pay them some money plus $500 extra for lawyer fees. Well, joke's on them because I have legal insurance through my employer, so it's not going to cost me a penny to fight them over this over the next few years, let's see how much it costs them."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Forney, TX

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.
