"Danny is the best painter we have ever used. His crew were all very professional, prompt and hard working. We had our whole interior painted. From ceiling, crown molding, chair rails, walls the whole house. Price was very fair for the scope of the job. Start to finish A+ for sure. "

"I wish I had before pictures so you could see the difference! We had the same thing done three years ago, and the outcome was not close to the work Tracey did. He cleaned and sealed the concrete patio, power washed, replaced a few boards on the sides of the deck and used a semi-transparent stain the deck/bench seating/side boards. The price was a bit lower than our other bid, his communication and customer service was outstanding, and we have already shared his contact information with neighbors looking for their own 'deck revival'"

"Although this review is long overdue (the work was completed almost 8 or so years ago), I felt it was important to share our positive experience with Rickleff Painting. Rickleff Painting painted our living room, bathroom, and one bedroom, and the quality of the work has truly stood the test of time. The paint was applied evenly, the lines were clean, and the finished spaces looked fresh and professionally done. Years later, the walls still look great with no issues related to workmanship. The job was completed efficiently, and the areas were left clean and well cared for. It’s rare to look back years later and still be impressed, but that’s the case here. I would confidently recommend Rickleff Painting to anyone looking for reliable, high quality painting work."

"Jesse just finished painting the entire interior of my home, including all the trim, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. His work was truly outstanding. Very clean lines, great attention to detail, and a beautiful, professional finish throughout the house. On top of that, his pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work he delivered. It’s clear he takes pride in what he does. I’ll definitely be using Jesse again for any future painting projects and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled painter. "

"I would recommend R Wright Construction to anyone who is needing any kind of work done. George, the owner, was very hands on with the whole production. His employees were wonderful. Any people he had come in to do wiring, insulation, construction, roofing, etc. were all extremely nice and knew their jobs and did them on time. I had never had anything like this done before, and he made it easy to work with him and I will definitely be calling him back for other projects that I need coming up."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Indianapolis, IN

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.
