"We hired Masters Painting & Drywall for a few simultaneous projects: 1) Repair of water-damaged drywall due to a basement flood, 2) Repair of miscellaneous botched drywall repairs by a previous person, and 3) Painting of our entire basement after all repairs were completed. The project included a stairway and four basement rooms (office, living room, bathroom, and misc room). Masters was on-time, every time. The project lasted about 5 days. We and Masters set the expectations of work quality, organization, and scheduling right from the start. The process was efficient and orderly: on-site review of the work, prompt quotation, paint selection, and project execution. We were certainly happy with the quality of work done and the time to complete the project. We would definitely use them again on another drywall repair and/or painting project."

"Rickleff Painting recently painted our kitchen, family room, entryway, stairway and upstairs hall. Also ceilings and trim in all the areas. The painters were very professional and stayed on task. The project took several days and they arrived and departed on time each day. We were so pleased with the results especially with the repaired ceiling tape in family room that had needed fixing for 20 years. Love the refreshed clean look of our home. "

"It took longer than I expected but one room the wallpaper was very very difficult to remove. They did an excellent job on getting it removed. Other rooms were not that difficult to remove wallpaper and paint. I would recommend Jessie."

"I highly recommend Danny's Pro Painters for your needs. The work was performed at the quote I was given and at a very reasonable price. My job required Danny to coordinate with the roofers and work with them to get the job completed. It was no easy task, and Danny had his crew worked flawlessly hand in hand with the roofers with absolutely no problems whatsoever. His team were composed of highly professional people that were very hard working and very meticulous to perform the work being done exactly as I wanted it done. Then when the job was completed, they made sure that they cleaned up everything and left no trace that they were even there except for a job well done. Upon completion Danny walked me through everything making sure that I was totally satisfied with the work performed. It was then and only then that money was ever given to Danny for the worked that was performed. I couldn't be happier, and it more than exceeded all my expectations. My home looks like a new home and I have Danny's Pro Painters to thank for it."

"She arrived when she said she would. Promptly came in, looked the room over,set up and began cutting paper. She was very pleasant but very efficient. She knew within a couple of minutes of looking at the room that the wallpaper store had not figured the amount of paper correctly. With Donna's careful measuring and working her and quot;magicand quot; at the end, she was able to complete the job without having to order more paper. She did a fantastic job. <br />"

"We had a great experience with Walla for interior painting of our home. Starting with the initial walkthrough and quote, Jimmy was very thorough and provided us some great recommendations we had not even considered. The cost for the work was very reasonably priced compared to other painting companies we received quotes from. Once the work was scheduled, the painting crew showed up exactly when they said they would, were very friendly and professional, and they did a great job making all of our rooms look awesome. I would definitely recommend Walla for any interior or exterior painting work."

"<p>Susan arrived on time on a Saturday morning on relatively short notice.  I had waited too long to get this job scheduled before a visit from my son and his wife. Since I had used Specialty Wallcovering previously, I basically called and begged Susan to schedule me as soon as possible.  Like always, she was fully booked for the next several weeks but she offered to schedule my one day job for a Saturday even though she doesn't normally work Saturdays.</p> <p>I was changing the guest bedroom from a dark reddish color to a soft yellow so I knew it would probably require two coats.  She arrived at 9:00 a.m. and had the job completed by around 5:30 p.m.  It looks absolutely beautiful as I knew it would.  Her work is always top notch.</p> <p>If you are searching for a reliable, professional quality interior painter, Specialty Wallcovering is a great option.  Her work is outstanding and her price is reasonable and extremely competitive.  Her hourly rate even on a Saturday was less than most charge even during normal weekday working hours. I highly recommend this service provider and will definitely use her company again.  It is easy to see why she is an Angie's List Super Service Award winner.</p>"

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.
