"Jason seems to be a middle man, not a painter.  The crew that came to do the work he had hired, not a crew under his company name.  They had their own company, but were taking on extra work.  I had to reexplain everything to them as if Jason never spoke with them about it.  The color was discussed a few more times even though it was explained each time.  It took a few extra weeks till the work was done compared to the estimated time given.  Many excuses of why they(the painters) were behind and how much it was costing(Jason).  Was pressured by Jason into paying, yet the job wasn't completed.  I find if you pay before its done, then it will take a long time to get the small project done.  The work was spray, no brush.  Had to peel off some left behind tape and plastic and clean up some work debris of that etc.  You get what you pay for, don't let fancy photo's and brochures make your decision. There was no prep work other than taping windows, drips and over spray on deck and windows.  Pretty much average work if you don't care about quality.

"Mickey and team (as well as Kimberley) were great! They were able to do the repairs (window sills and fence gate) as well as the painting of the entire house, body and trim. The quality of the work and attention to detail were the best we've ever seen. The house looks better than new. We highly recommend Regan Renovation and Painting!"

"Not good. Mistakes were made. He was over priced for the work. He did not come back to fix errors. He had a big job that he wanted to get to so I think my job suffered as a result. I just paid him to be rid of him. Nice guys though."

"I bought a coupon for just the walls, but I added on the baseboard to the job for a little extra. They returned my call right away and were flexible when I needed to change the date the following week, and when they knew they need to change the time by a couple hours, they called me the day before to make sure that would work. ? They were clean, nice, professional and hassle free. ?I'd hire them again!"

"Andrew and Jake the owners of CPR show up on time and are here when they say they are going to be here. Communication is great someone is always available to answer questions and phone calls. Workmanship is over the top and I am blown away by the work that has been done. I was very skeptical due to past experiences that I had with other contractors, and they gave me assurance that good quality work is still possible. They are continuing to do work throughout our home. We will write more reviews on the other work that has been completed."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Idaho Springs, CO

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.
