"Go with Target. I've used several painters, and I have never had the excellent level of quoting and detailed Statement of Work, customer service responsiveness, crew professionalism, quality of prep work and painting, and ability to deliver on my timeline. I am not easily impressed, but Andy, Gabriella, and team knocked it over the Green Monster!"

"Sebastián and Johan did a great job with my walls! The result is absolutely gorgeous; I can't stop showing off photos. They were professional, conscientious, and thorough; communication was clear and helpful, and they were patient with all my questions. I would happily use them again."

"We were very impressed with Larkin and will definitely use them again. The owner, Bill, came out to our home quickly and was thorough in the quote. We have an older (1911) house and horsehair plaster. The work was extremely professional and they responded very quickly and calmly to a couple of unexpected things. After the work was done they made sure we were satisfied before formally requesting the final payment - the day after they left our kids pushed a chair into the newly painted wall and Larkin fixed it at no charge so we would be fully satisfied with the project. We highly recommend them."

"We have used Willie's painting on 3 separate projects now and will be using them for a 4th project coming up soon. The projects were 3 bedrooms, 1 with tall vaulted ceilings. They painted all the walls, doors, windows, trim and ceiling. We also used him to clean the exterior of the house and paint all the exterior doors and trim as well as to sand and stain the wood on the porch. Willie pays close attention to the details and does superb work. When we bought the house 2 years ago we used somebody else to paint most of the inside with what we thought was good work, but Willie's work was immaculate in comparison and his prices were slightly less for the quoting the same jobs. Willie himself is very friendly and professional, responds promptly to inquiries and get the work done on time. We know that we're going to be taken care of and have nothing to worry about with Willie and his team which is why we keep coming back."

"I interviewed several painters for this massive interior painting job. When I met Abe I knew immediately he was the one I trusted to do the job. He’s intelligent, knowledgeable, honest and courteous. He brought an excellent crew and restored our home beautifully after years of water damage. When they left you’d never know a 3 man painting crew had been in our house for 5 days. If you want the best, hire Abe Schickel."

I started painting residential in 1994. At that time I was mostly exterior. After two years of that, I began painting interior/exterior on the campuses of major university's in Boston and Cambridge. In 1999 I moved on to painting exclusively high end, million dollar plus homes in Ma. and NH. By 2002 I decided that I knew enough about this trade to start my own business. I was successful right out of the gate. Everyone fell in love my work. I must say that I really enjoy what I do and that comes out in my work.I get great satisfaction when I leave a client smiling upon the completion of another great paint job. As long as I am Anthony The Painter that will continue into the unforeseen future. From Cottages to Castles and everything in between Please contact via phone! Award winning.

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Holliston, MA

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.
