"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."

"Came home late from work one evening and discovered that sewage ejector pump had not been working and sewage water accumulating in the pit. Called 3 plumbers via Angie’s List who had 24/7 service. First guy gave me $1,000 quote by phone, and he would not have been able to fix for at least 3 days. Jim picked up right away, listened to my description of the problem, quoted me at $600-$700 and scheduled me right away for the next morning. He arrived on time with a new pump, surveyed the issue and got right to work removing the old pump and installing the new one. He was personable, knowledgeable and it only took a couple of hours. Would definitely call Jim again if other plumbing issues."

"Treated myself to a Big Deal for $99 (6 hrs of cleaning, or 3hrs with 2 people). This is the 2nd time I’ve had someone clean my house, the previous time was also an Angie’s List Big Deal, about 2 years ago. I was so pleased with their services. Paula and her co-worker worked diligently and left my house sparkling. I have a split level home, about 1,500 square feet, occupied by 4 adults and a furry dog. When Paula arrived we discussed my priorities. They were the 3 bathrooms (one was especially in rough shape) and the kitchen. I told her anything else would be bonus as far as I was concerned. They did a great job with the bathrooms and the kitchen, and on top of that vacuumed the living/dining room, hallway & stairs, and mopped the tile floor in my family room. It was so wonderful to have this taken care of before the holiday season."

"It was great; they took only a weekend to do my living room, kitchen, dining, library and stairwells. They were covering some dark custom colors so it took multiple coats. I liked them so much I hired them again to paint my kitchen cabinets too. Will definitely recommend and use them again!"

"I specified I needed walls cleaned from a smoker in the home. I was told 1st thing that he didn't do smoke on walls and what he brought did not remove anything. Refrig. Was cleaned good and window ledges and windows cleaned but really needed walls cleaned. Now I have to find someone else. I live in Maryland and if this was my only reason for being in Delaware it would have been a wasted trip."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Frankford, 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.
