"Jason, the owner, came and met us to discuss what we wanted done. He took the appropriate measurements and provided a detailed estimate a few days later (which included testimonials from prior customers). Once we selected him (from the 3 estimates we obtained) we scheduled the work at a time convenient for both parties. When the time came, the painter he sent, Keith Foskey, did a great job. It was apparent that Keith cared about his work and communicated well while he was here. All in all, we were very happy with the results and would use Summit Painting again.

"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!"

"I had a painter lined up to start on 11/9, but unfortunately that painter was non-responsive 2 weeks before starting the job.  I looked around and found David's company.  He has good reviews so I called him.  I was impressed that he called me back quickly and then said he could give me a quote over the phone without having to go to the house however, it would be finalized/ confirmed once he saw it.  At that point, I knew I was working with someone who had been doing it for so long that it would be a good thing.  I walked him through the house and I was quoted a price.  I asked if he could wait a few days to ensure all would go through with the home inspection and he said yes.  After getting the green light, I called him up and we met at the job site. He walked the house and noticed one tiny thing he forgot to ask about which caused the quote to go up ever so slightly and to me it was no big deal since he had not see the home.  I was totally on board with the updated quote.  He told me what to buy in regards to supplies (how much of each paint color, amount of tape, etc. etc.)  I headed to the paint store and Home Depot and all was ready for his crew to start on Monday.  David does not ask for any money until the job is complete and to the customers satisfaction, that's what I call a true professional that trusts and guarantees his work.  They painted the entire house in 5 days, as planned.  The paint they were covering up and the texture caused them to re-roll sections, but David and Sergio were very accommodating and did it without hesitation. We met again for a final walk through, found a few spots to touch up, but again all was done willingly and they put us first to ensure we were happy. 

All in all, I am so glad I went with David.  I will use him again for future projects.  Sergio is very knowledgeable and all worked out well.  Thank you David and Sergio!

"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.
