"This review is for est. no. 13342 and the work performed on July 1, 2025. Elliot Lund and Alex Biggan will furnish endless painting spin talk. What you will "not" get is the important surface preparation work specified in the estimate. You also will "not" get a good quality paint work. If you want a painting job that looks like it had been done by your neighbor's 10 year old son, then Culver's Painting is the company for you."

"Excellent experience! Bob was friendly and professional, and did superb work - going the extra mile - on an interior paint project. I'll be calling him back to do more projects in the near future. Highly recommend!"

"Gregg is fantastic! My husband and I needed someone to fix a faulty wallpapering job done to our powder room. We came across Gregg's name when researching the most experienced professionals to hang wallpaper. From the moment we met Gregg he was punctual, professional, and meticulous in his work. We knew he would be the best person for the job. Despite being booked out several months (as is everyone right now), we were happy to wait for him. Gregg finished our powder room in two days (including taking down previous wallpaper, priming the walls and hanging new paper). We could not be happier with his work, truly top-notch. We have received so many compliments on our bathroom, and it even inspired us to also have Gregg wallpaper our dining room next year! I would 100% recommend Gregg to anyone looking for a highly skilled artisan with decades of experience."

"Absolutely wonderful experience working with Carl's Painting. We had worked with them in the past where they did a wonderful job painting our condo. We just purchased a new home and needed the paint updated in a few areas. Patrick Carl was very warm and welcoming, and he provided great advice and a fair price for the work done. We ended up needing a second coat on most of our house and he was very good about letting us know as soon as he realized it and repricing things very fairly to cover the extra materials and labor. The house looks amazing and everything was put back together nicely and neatly. I can't say enough about what a great job they did and how quickly and professionally they worked. I would absolutely hire them in the future and recommend them highly to anyone."

"Two Day Painting painted our basement. This was a professional company experience from start to completion. We showed what we wanted done, they explained how they would accomplish that, giving suggestions but leaving the final choices up to us. They delivered exactly what was promised. "

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Grafton, WI

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.
