"Offered same-day estimate, was easy to schedule the work. Removed wallpaper and painted room in the same day. I purchased the paint and paid for other needed materials, which presented an additional cost over the initial quote. Very courteous and did a good job cleaning up after the work was complete."

"SJ Coverup did a great job putting up wallpaper in our dining room and on an accent wall in our family room. They were very professional, responsive, and did great work. This was our first wallpapering job and I was a little concerned on how well everything would line up with the pattern. We were beyond impressed with how it came out. We plan to wallpaper our powder room and would definitely hire these guys again."

"My experience working with Target Painting exceeded my expectations. I was very pleased with the level of customer service I received throughout the process. There were email notifications sent to me explaining what to expect and time frames for each step of the job along the way from prep work, carpentry work, priming, finish coats, and trim work. The workers were all pleasant to communicate with, they are hard workers, and kept my property clean from any debris or waste. They addressed any concerns or minor details of work being performed that I had questions about. The quality of the work was outstanding. I have been getting several compliments from all my neighbors on the work done to my home! The manager personally stayed in touch with me during the process making sure I was pleased with everything being done making sure my experience was everything I hoped for."

"Renes was professional, punctual, and his work was excellent. I hired him to paint the entire interior of my home. He took the time to figure out how to complete the job the way I wanted. I just purchased a new home and there were tons of holes. He and Jonathan patched and repaired all the holes and spent the time needed to prepare the walls and ceilings. We also discussed my color choices and Renes made excellent recommendations. Iâ m so happy I listened to him! He and Jonathan also made sure it was clean at the end of every day. They were detail oriented and Iâ m extremely happy with a job well done! I highly recommend them and their quality workmanship. I plan to hire them again for more jobs in the future."

"I'm a Realtor and I hired Mike to install wall paper in my bath and paint walls and ceilings in my home. He did excellent work including cathedral ceilings in foyer and master bedroom; he worked with a critical eye; patching settlement cracks and nail pops as well. He arrived on time and was super neat and clean. Another contractor damaged the bathroom wall AFTER the wallpaper had been put up. I asked Mike back to fix it. Not only did he fix the patch job that the contractor did because he felt it was not done good enough, but he did not charge us for his work! He said he wanted us to be happy with the work AND it was not his fault we had to have him back. We insisted on paying him for it, but had to guess how much to give him because he didn't want us to pay. I recommend Mike to all my clients who are looking for his services; he is EXCELLENT, reasonably priced, and I can't speak highly enough about him."

"I was satisfied, but I'm getting some peeling already and it hasn't been a month. I took time out of work for health reasons for my mother. The second week I had to have the condominuim I live in painted. I was informed on Tuesday or Wednesday that they don't work on weekends. I was very disappointed and had to basically put my foot down until they felt guilty, and I had them come on Saturday. Then they asked for a little tip, I did give it. I wasn't going to say anything, but he asked me to rate him. I went in the bathroom last night, and the paint was chipping already. I am disappointed. Some of the doors, when I opened them they chipped. I'm like you've got to be kidding me. The heater board, I got to take a nicer cut. He painted it so that the paint can have a nicer texture on it. He seemed knowledgeable."

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.
