"Juan and his partner did a great job repairing and installing drywall for my family room area. After the job was done, there were a few areas that needed minor touch-up. They were quick to response to my request and took good care of it. I was very happy with their work and would recommend Juan."

"This stellar company has painted several houses for me, inside and out. In every case, they were friendly, careful, artisans of their craft and left the work areas clean. Sergio is easy to work with and I will most certainly do business with Energy of Colors again."

"Ken bid the work in the winter after doing a very brief walk through of the house. We told him it could be out a ways as we had to get the contractor in to replace the woodwork first. We contacted him in the summer to do the work. I had asked at the time if he needed to make adjustments to the bid in light of the season and workload change but he kept to the original bid. We asked if he needed us to move furniture or prep the house beforehand and he said no. When the work was completed we were out of town so we had a relative let the contractors in. Ken was here the first day but not for the duration of the project and when we got home there were some quality issues some damaged furniture items and mess left by the painters so we contacted Ken to see if he would mind doing a walk through with us. There were drips in high visibility places and areas where it looked like the paint had partially dried so brush strokes where pretty bad. They also had gotten large quantities of paint on the carpet in several rooms and had missed some items altogether.

When I contacted Ken (via email) he was very quick to respond but immediately got defensive and acted frustrated that I had emailed him on a weekend (apparently he was away with his wife at the time). I told him I had just sent a note while it was fresh in my mind and he could contact us when he was back. At which point he called out that he had given me a good deal and if I didn't want to pay him I didn't have to...I had never mentioned or intended to hold payment and told him so. I just asked that he see the issues and correct what was fixable (keeping in mind we told him we were not going to make him replace broken items, repair carpet or redo the shoddy work). I just wanted him to assess what I was seeing and fix the drip marks and missed items.

He continued to respond blaming the fact that the trim install was poor, that we hadn't moved furniture and that he had cut is a deal in peak season (at which point I reminded him that we asked if he needed to revise his bid or have us prep the house). In the end he sent the job staff out to fix things but I would not recommend using Ken again. He is quick to respond and gives a very competitive price but I firmly believe you get what you pay for. I've worked with Ken previously and have always thought highly of him but this experience was disappointing. In the end I paid him for the full cost of the work even though he forgot to include the cost of painting several doors in his final invoice and the work was shoddy. I have since been sanding and redoing trim areas where the paint quality was poor and have opted to paint out a child's bedroom myself as my work is better than what Ken's painting provided. I will not be calling him again and although I'm often asked for referrals for contractors, I won't be giving his name out.

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Gresham, OR

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.
