"We needed to replace a patch of our living room ceiling due to damage from a water leak upstairs. We contacted C&B, who responded and quoted us a price quickly. The price was fair for a multi-day job, they got it done within a week, and they even helped us repaint the ceiling. Very professional, courteous, and trustworthy. We'd strongly recommend!"

"She promptly answered my phone call regarding the job. Came out to give us an estimate after looking at the room and the wallpaper. We set up a date and time for the job. She arrived on time, did the agreed upon work to our satisfaction and left the work area clean. She was very professional and I would recommend her to others. <br />"

"Danny arrived on the day and time that he had promised, and immediately began to work. Accompanied by his son Dillon, they worked steadily throughout the 4 days necessary to complete the job. Both Danny and Dillon were polite and respectful at all times, and were an absolute pleasure to have in our home. The completed job is of such superior in quality that we will hire them in the future for all paint and wallpaper removal jobs!! The price for the job was fair, and better than the prices given by other painters. We would without hesitation recommend Danny and his son Dillon to other customers looking for quality work at a fair price!!! ???"

"Anderson is a true professional. He painted all our rooms to include walls, trim and doors. He was able to repair and match our plaster ceilings perfectly. His team was punctual, friendly and very professional. The price we agreed upon was the price he charged, regardless if the job took longer or required more materials. I will definitely use Anderson Pro Painting for all my future painting needs!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Hartford, CT

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.
