"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 purchased a painter for a week in order to repaint the interior of a house which I just purchased.
It was very pleased with the work, though it ended up costing a lot more than I had planned.  The Angie's deal paid for less than 1/3 of the work, but that was probably my underestimating the amount of work involved.
Its a 3 story townhouse, and after all was said and done, it cost around $6500.
I was very pleased with the work, though there seemed to be some communication issues up front, trying to explain to the painters the work detailed on the work order.  It wasn't done properly at first, as I wanted the closets painted white, and they were painted the same color as the rest of the house.  I did email CertaPro though and they came back the next day and repainted those areas, so I was very happy with their level of responsiveness.
I would definitely recommend CertaPro, though I don't really think the I got much of a deal, cost-wise.  I probably just paid standard pricing.
But my house looks gorgeous, even though I'm a little lighter in the wallet than I had planned to be.

"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"

"Painter stopped paint about 1" above carpet on all baseboards. Had to go around and correct. Accent wall next to wall painted white had to go and adjust painting to have even lines. Several spots of paint on carpet that had to clean up; paint on door knobs which I cleaned up. Requested ceiling to be retextured where it was peeling up, instead contractor scraped the ceiling and painted it. There are areas that are still needing address on ceiling which I will correct. I failed to remove the blinds in a window contractor removed blind and layed on floor and they were stepped on. Ended up with a slat being broken. Office personnel did call and request I make sure I was happy before staff departed."

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.
