"Mr. Lopez is my go-to person for all painting and wood construction work. I have hired him for 5+ jobs in the past 10 years. For this latest work, he repainted a 4-bedroom 2-bathroom house (walls only), repainted the exterior house including shutters, trim and door, repaired rotted fascia board on the garage, and rebuilt a wood deck and stained it. What I love about Lopez Painting is his consistency: (1) immediate, fair written estimates (2) ability to schedule the job quickly (3) work gets done thoroughly as it seems he concentrates on one job at a time (4) no subs (5) extremely hard working, works more than a full day (6) cleans up."

"These guys were very reasonably priced and did fantastic work. They had to patch about 20 holes in sheetrock after a repiping and even though I saw the holes for myself I can't tell where the patches are when looking at each spot. Great patchwork and texturing matching. They also discovered some broken rafters in the garage when removing the drywall and reinforced those. They were very easy to deal with as we added items to the project, did the work quickly and very well."

"I hired them to paint 3 rooms and stairway hall. They did such a wonderful job that I also got an accent wall (which is beautiful) and they tiled my fireplace (also beautiful). Everything is beautiful and so professionally done. I would without a doubt recommend Flooring Nation LLC. Thanks Jose and your team for everything."

"It went very well. The crew was on time every day, they were polite and they cleaned-up before they left. They were very dilligent, professional and careful. They interacted well with us and responded well to all of our requests. There were no problems of any sort. The General Manager, Alfredo Flores, was a pleasure to work with. At the time of the original estimate, he showed up on time as promised, was very careful and through in his analysis of what needed to be done and provided a detailed estimate at the end of the same day he visited. His estimate was in line with others we had solicited so based on our interactions with him and the reviews we had seen on Angie's list plus his very high rating by the Better Business Bureau, we decided to sign the contract with him. We will definitely work with CertaPro Painters of Central Houston (Alberto Flores) again when we need painting and will recommend them to friends and family."

"Alan wallpapered our guest bedroom and powder bath. We were going to call a plumber to remove our sink but Alan knew how to do it. He went over and beyond our expectations. He prepared the walls perfectly and hung the wallpaper seamlessly. We will use him every time. He’s also fun to work with. A"

"After interviewing several contractors, we chose Ivan. He had great reviews on Angie's list and he was willing to work with us on any changes that we wanted to make and assured us that he would be very hands on in the day to day operation of our project. We were not disappointed. He was always accessible to us by phone or on site. His workers were polite and never intrusive. They were in our home for 5 months and we never had any concerns about them being here. The worksite was cleaned at the end of each day and they always arrived promptly and if they were going to be delayed, let us know.. Ivan is very meticulous in his finishes and was very responsive to changes we wanted to make or questions we had. The job included a rebuilt staircase, fireplace, walls, wainscoting, cabinets, windows, moving of walls, doors, and flooring. Ivan , as promised was here almost everyday and he is a true craftsman. We would not hesitate to hire him again."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Houston, TX

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.
