"The building that was painted is a two story commercial building. A New Look Painting painted the interior of the building and did a very professional job. Employees were very cordial, respectful and a pleasure to work with. The owner assured me he would not leave the job site until I was satisfied with the work. He is honorable and a man of his word. Very satisfied!"

"JP Cortes painting did an AMAZING job! They were the best price after receiving 4 bids. The painters were extremely kind and clean and showed up at the exact time the noted. The painters were even concerned about cleaning up around them even though it was not necessary as my home had so much renovation going on. Truly an amazing company, amazing employees, great pricing and more importantly, they did an amazing paint job and in a short period of time. STRONGLY recommend JP Cortes for painting needs."

Customers say: Quality work

"Our asbestos popcorn ceiling was too overwhelming to consider removing and so we hired Phillips to install drywall over the popcorn, plaster, smooth and paint the ceilings. Their quote was very competitive and so we initially worried that perhaps they would not do a very good job - yet the exact opposite was our experience. Easy to work with, a respectful and diligent crew that worked continuously and cleaned up all during and after a VERY messy project... and our new ceilings look fabulous! We highly recommend Phillips Painting Service for cost, competence, quality and customer service."

"We had interior walls/trim painted and ceiling popcorn removed and refinished. When Serpaco estimated the project, I pointed out several wallboard repairs we had made previously (3 inch hole that squirrel in attic made, holes in ceiling where I had hanging plants, wallpaper removal scars) that I feared would be difficult to conceal because we are not skilled wallboard repairers. Mason said this would not be a problem. He was right. The walls look amazing. They look brand new—thirty years of wear & tear had disappeared. The ceilings look as good as the walls—smooth even finish and crisp line where wall & ceiling meet. So nice to be rid of the popcorn. Painters were courteous, professional, and skilled craftsmen. Floors were well protected and after cleanup, I did not find any splatters at all. Excellent and quality work! Will use again and recommend to others."

"A team of workers repaired or replaced the aged wood and painted the exterior of my house. They did an excellent job and were very friendly. They completely cleaned up each day (took about 3 days to complete) . I feel that they did outstanding work at a very reasonable price and would not hesitate to serve as a reference for this company."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Greensboro, 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.
