"MNM did an excellent job hanging wallpaper in our nursery. The wallpaper looks terrific and there were some difficult parts to the job. MNM was easy to deal with at a reasonable price and handled everything very well. I would hire them again."

"Outstanding!!! I have been doing business with Dan for over 20 years for both painting and wallpaper. Dan is a pleasure to work with and so patient -it is unbelievable. Last year, we had a bee problem and so one bedroom needed a rush job as the ceiling had to come down in the closet. Somehow Dan and Courtney were able to get us a team in a few day which was remarkable and so appreciated. This time Francisco and his team came out to do our painting. Oh my goodness- they were amazing in their work. Not only was their work perfect, but they were a joy to have in the house. This team went more than the extra mile to help us with everything we needed. I never after to worry about clean up but will mention it as other folks need to know- it is always done well and with no mess of any kind around. Today it is so hard to find professional that take pride in their work and are still willing to be nice to be around. Dan's professionals always have integrity and a skill set that makes it easy to have full confidence in them. Again my thanks to Dan, Courtney and Francisco and the crew for making our experience easy and worry free. As you may tell, I highly recommend Drake Painting in all respects"

"Michael is an excellent painter, He was very careful with my furniture and he and his wife also helped me hang up curtains. I would certainly hire and recommend him to any of my family or friends. He completed the job in the allotted time and was very professional. I am very glad that I hired him to do out painting. I intend to hire him again to complete more painting for us."

"Fred Fox did a substantial interior painting job for us. He painted trim, baseboards, crown molding, ceiling and wall painting in multiple rooms. We normally do painting ourselves, but were looking for a professional painter to ensure the trim looked really good. His work was done professionally and he is very skilled at his craft. Fred's proposal seemed very fairly priced and came considerably under some other estimates. There were a few items that were unclear in the original proposal and Fred accommodated our wishes and included this within the scope of work. He completed the project in his estimated timeframe and charged exactly what was agreed upon including actual costs(with receipts) for paint. He cleaned up at the end of every day and was as unobtrusive as possible while doing the work. We were very pleased with his work and would wholeheartedly recommend him. We will use him again for similar projects. <br />"

" The dining room wall was in a really bad shape and instead of having it gutted down they put a fibreglass mesh on the wall and then they skim coated it all.  They re-build the cove molding that had got water damaged over the years and was falling apart.  They did an excellent job. It was expensive but he is good. Everything went as per schedule. As matter of fact he came and moved the schedule up and everything went as per planned. As for the timing of the job he said it would take 7 to 8 days and he took 8 days.  He is super helpful.  He helped me find the water leak which was causing the water damage on the plastered cove molding. Again he co-ordinated with the roofer to build some flashing. He is the kind of guy I can call him and ask him for something and he would try to help.  I will use this provider in the future."

"The wall paper in 2 of the rooms was very hard to remove. They called for extra help so the work would not take longer. We had a large hole in one wall and now I can't tell where it was. All the men that worked were very professional and friendly. They checked with me to be sure everything was the way we wanted it. They were very careful with the furniture and our newly refinished wood floors. The results are beautiful and we are very pleased with everything that was done. Even the cleanup was very well done and I will call them again for future decorating."

"We hired Chicagoland remodeling for a complete renovation of our master bathroom. Izabela was our primary contact person for this project. The office is very organized. Izabela kept us informed about all the updates and the necessary forms that needed to be completed at each stage of the project especially in regards to our village inspection. She also shared her ideas and thoughts with us and met with us several times throughout the project to help select various materials and also checked different vendors to ensure that we get the best price without compromising quality. Since both of us worked full-time, having this attention to detail and consistent updates really helped us keep track of the project without taking too much personal time off. Overall, we are happy with the finished project and will hire them again for any future projects that we may have."

"Tony and his crew recently finished a four-day job doing many rooms including some with 15-foot ceilings. This is a new home for us so it came with a lot of nail and anchor holes. The crew patched more holes, dings and blemishes than we knew existed and taped every seam that needed it (even on the high ceilings). The respectful crew treated our house as if it was their house with everything covered and all items kept safe and clean. They even sealed parts of the home to keep the sanding dust contained. Other than the incredible paint job when they left there was no sign they were even here. They made sure we were happy with everything they did. Tony is very easy to work with and we’ll be calling Tony’s Pro Painting in the summer for an estimate on exterior work."

"McMaster Painting recently painted the interior of my condo including the ceilings, trim, and doors. Their work was excellent! Since my condo had not been painted for 12 years, there was a lot of prep work; Dings had to be patched; 12 years of hair spray build up had to be removed from a door and other items that come from living in a place for 12 years. The crew had a great work ethic and were very professional. They showed up on time each day and cleaned up before they left each evening. They understood that I was living in the condo during the process and made sure the place was livable during the painting process. I am thrilled with the results! I would hire them again without hesitation."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Frankfort, IL

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.
