Customers say: True professional

"OnCall Wallpaper has done 7 separate jobs for me- each one more increasingly difficult than the next and each one executed flawlessly which is why we keep coming back!! Gerard is a true pleasure to work with, he is professional, courteous, kind and has very fair, competitive and reasonable pricing. He truly wants to make projects work for his customers. Him and his crew are true masters at their skill - we’ve had him hang high end custom murals, grass cloth, extremely intricate designs that required precise and very difficult matching, strange shaped rooms, small rooms and gigantic rooms, repair work to existing wallpaper, and rooms that needed a ton of wall prep work before they could be wallpapered. Gerard and his team have completed each with stunning precision and care, and in very timely turnarounds. Crew is extremely kind, friendly and tidy. If you are looking for a high end experience, and want your project to come out more beautiful than expected every time- look no further than OnCall for all of your wallpaper needs- no matter the difficulty or size of the project!"

"Jay came for leaky windows issue - 4th floor of condo building. Let's ignore the fact that Jay did a great job! Jay did more than that. I truly and deeply appreciate how he easily and clearly explained to me the problem at hand, the causes, and the remedy he was going to undertake to get this task done. I'm so use to the "... I'm here, where's the problem... ok - work is done.." treatment. Jay & company will be my go-to. You will not be upset in doing the same!"

"WENT GREAT! Job went exactly as proposed. John and his crew scraped all chipped paint, sanded down to bare wood and painted to perfection. We chose to have all gutter and leader drains painted in super white trim. They used the correct primer (stix) before painting two coats of trim paint. They painted my foundation the same color as the body of the house with not a drop a paint on my patio to be found! All "cutting in" is perfect. John and his are very professional. They work as a great team. I highly recommend them!"

"It was a difficult project requiring the removal of current siding, then significant patching, sanding and carpentry to prepare the original clapboard for paint. The crew was very hard working and super creative when it came to solving problems. They showed up on time every day and finished the project according to schedule. The price was very reasonable and no surprise charges. We are very pleased with AAA and would highly recommend them."

"Had them remove the large old-school house fan and install a drop-down ladder in it's place. Overall great work. There was one day when the workers came a few hours late, but that happens and is understandable. The only part (which was my error I'm sure) that I was unhappy about was the painting of the door and surrounding ceiling was not included in the price - but I am pretty sure I told about it and simply forgot which was another $250. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"

"Miguel was an absolute pleasure to work with on my project!I had a complicated patio design which required the removal of two massive tree stumps, the addition of a new drainage system to handle storm water that was creating problems with my foundation, footings for a new Gazebo, and regrading of my backyard to help with the design. Miguel visited my property 3 times to give me ideas/recommendations on how to fix my water issues with the patio design I was looking for. I could immediately tell Miguel was a true professional at what he does and truly cares about doing the best job for his customers. No other contractor spent the amount of time to think through the options and this helped me feel comfortable knowing Miguel and his team were going to take the time to do it right. When you are making big investments on your property, you want someone you can trust and who's going to stand by their work and Miguel did just that. He always returned my phone calls, followed through on details we discussed, kept me updated and addressed any concerns I had along the way, and completed the job on time and was very fair with his pricing. I cannot speak any more highly of Miguel and his team and will be using his team going forward and recommending him to family & friends."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Hoboken, NJ

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.
