"I was looking for a pro to come in and quickly paint an accent wall. Start to finish this took less than two weeks to accomplish. I was impressed with the speed and quality. The finished product turned out perfectly!"

"My husband and I are remodeling our kitchen. As part of that process, we removed a California drop ceiling and installed recessed lighting. There was repair work that needed to be done to our soffits (after the removal of the drop ceiling) as well as repair and Spanish lace to the ceiling where the recessed lighting was put in. The workers were polite and left a very clean work area. My husband and I were pleased with the results & enjoyed working with the owner of the company, Esther Zehr. If we have any other remodeling to do, I will certainly call Zehr Decorating to do the work!"

"Aritas LLC, cancelled the first scheduled day due to some of his employees taking vacation and did not notify until after I called questioning if they were going to arrive that day. We rescheduled for the following week and they arrived on-time. Overall, the finished work was done as discussed and were thorough for adding caulking around the doors to prevent water from leaking inside the house. Jose also repaired the doors on two cabinets as well. He mentioned that if there are any future leaks inside the house that he would fix it at no additional cost."

I had the privilege to learn wallpaper installation under my mother who has been hanging wallpaper most of her life. I would love to offer the skills that I have learned to you and help bring your wallpaper visions to life!

"Wallpaper removal and painting was done in quoted time and looks great. They removed decades old wall paper, patched dry wall, painted and installed new hardware. Will definitely be using again when we have another project."

"Started on time, had some rain delays, but no one can paint in the wet. David, the owner, communicated with us regularly about said delays, and his crew always showed up when he said they would. His workers were at all times polite, accommodating and professional. Cleanup afterword was good, and some small things that needed attention were handled immediately. Our house looks great, which is the point, isn't it?
So refreshing to have contractors do what they are hired to do and do it on time, on budget and correctly."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Fort Wayne, IN

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.
