"The crew was very clean and fast. I am impressed with their work and recommend them to everyone. I had popcorn ceiling removal done while living in the home which I have heard can be very difficult but APM made it simple and fast."

Customers say: True professional

"OnCall Wallpaper has done 7 separate jobs for me- each one more increasingly difficult than the next and each one executed flawlessly which is why we keep coming back!! Gerard is a true pleasure to work with, he is professional, courteous, kind and has very fair, competitive and reasonable pricing. He truly wants to make projects work for his customers. Him and his crew are true masters at their skill - we’ve had him hang high end custom murals, grass cloth, extremely intricate designs that required precise and very difficult matching, strange shaped rooms, small rooms and gigantic rooms, repair work to existing wallpaper, and rooms that needed a ton of wall prep work before they could be wallpapered. Gerard and his team have completed each with stunning precision and care, and in very timely turnarounds. Crew is extremely kind, friendly and tidy. If you are looking for a high end experience, and want your project to come out more beautiful than expected every time- look no further than OnCall for all of your wallpaper needs- no matter the difficulty or size of the project!"

"I cannot recommend Elite Walls enough! He was incredibly responsive, friendly, and worked so fast. I actually made the mistake of not ordering enough wallpaper, and he was kind enough to come back and finish the job once the rest arrived. If you’re hesitant because he has fewer reviews, don't be—he is the absolute best and I’d hire him again in a heartbeat!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Fort Lauderdale, FL

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.
