"Rodrigo and his crew were fantastic. The painting looks amazing! They went above and beyond to fix the walls that had cracks. You are not able to tell the walls had issues. Besides a great job, they were prompt, very neat and ensured the floors, furniture and other fixtures were protected. I highly recommend R&A Painting company!"

"Mark is a thorough professional. He was always punctual and very thorough in his work. When I miscalculated the amount of wallpaper needed for my wall he was gracious enough to accommodate me into his future schedule thereby giving me time to buy extra wallpaper. I would highly recommend Mark for any of your wallpaper needs."

"Great! I was referred to DeHaan by the contractor who was installing the front door unit. He said they were the best, and they were! Nia, who manages the office, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. She suggested the "painter for a day" as the most efficient and economical choice. Everything was clearly spelled out in the contract, which was sent via email. Brandon, our painter for the day, worked diligently to complete the assigned tasks. The quality of his work was excellent. I will definitely use DeHaan for future painting needs."

"I have owned a house in Charlotte for 30 years. Serpaco Painting is the best painting company I have used. Serpaco has painted my house twice and my daughter’s house once. All three paint jobs have been outstanding. You may think there’s not much involved in painting a house; how hard can it be, right? That’s a common misunderstanding. If you want a result that looks great and will last many years, choose Serpaco. Here’s why they’re so good. Chris Gray runs the company in Charlotte. He gets personally involved in every job and takes full ownership. He develops the quotation, reviews it with the owner, checks in on the job while in progress and does a final acceptance walk around with the owner. The most important aspect to a good paint job is preparation. Chris plans every detail of the job with his crew and makes sure they understand what has to be done and how. He and his crew leaders are experts at material selection, calking, preventing water damage, and preparing surfaces. These details make your paint job look good and last. Finally, all members of the Serpaco crew will respect your property. They take great care to ensure that nothing is damaged and clean up at the end of every day. In the end, they’ll make sure you’re happy with their work."

"This is the second time we have used Philip and it turned out great just like before. He is not only a painter but has a great eye for color and design. Plus he is outspoken in the sense that he will not let you make a mistake in your project and treats it like he is doing it in his own home. He has numerous satisfied customers and can give several references. He had several ideas and saw things that even our general contractor did not. We definitely got our money's worth with him."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Gastonia, NC

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.
