"Rickleff Sons & Daughters is an excellent company! The painters are methodical, meticulous, and flexible with their schedule, based on our needs.They are professional in carefully handling the moving of our furniture. The window treatments are expertly removed, stored to prevent any damage, and then reinstalled, and look better with new paint. The painters are knowledgeable and know their products. We selected a paint color, but were concerned it would be too dark. They agreed, but suggested that we purchase a quart at 70%. Painting close to the window treatments and a new lamp confirmed the color would be perfect ... and it was! The painters are competent painting inside and outside. We have confidently booked them in the spring to repaint the outside of our home. And, we will schedule them for future inside painting that is required."

"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."

"Wallpaper was removed from the walls, nail holes were filled and cracks in the walls were repaired. Also, damaged drywall was removed and replaced. After the walls were prepped, they were painted. The house looks amazing!"

Small jobs welcome

I refinish and reface kitchen cabinets with over 12 years of experience. I keep my schedule open so I'm always available and because I work alone, my prices are very reasonable. I also add new cabinets. I can design your new kitchen cabinets with all the added features you choose, or just add the new island and pantry cabinets you're wanting and finish everything in your kitchen to match. New cabinets can be matched to existing ones with attention to the details of the new doors and drawers. Pull-outs are very popular and make base cabinets seem bigger. Replacement cabinets are available in stock and custom styles. Refacing existing cabinets with new doors and drawer fronts is very popular, and homeowners can choose the details of their new cabinets with me during our kitchen design consultation. Shaker style has been trending for a decade or more and it's what I do the most of when I reface. Refacing takes a little longer than refinishing and I do more refinishing than refacing. You can use any colors you choose. Most refinishing takes me a couple of days in the kitchen and I recommend Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane. Kitchen cabinets are always satin sheen. I don't do anything like countertops or backsplash. I specialize in kitchen cabinets. I often have to make minor changes and repairs to the kitchen cabinets when I refinish or reface them. I can also add crown molding and other trim to the kitchen cabinets. My phone is full of pictures of kitchen cabinet projects so please give me a call and text me pictures of your kitchen cabinets. My name is Jim and my phone number is (317)531-7973

"They did a perfect job. I wanted it done before Christmas and they did all they could so that this would happen. I work all the time, and all our communication was on the phone. I arranged for him to be able to get into the house and trusted that this would work out, based on all the other reviews that I had read about his perfectionism. It all worked out beautifully. The paper looks wonderful. They were really worked with me to get this done. If you ever need wallpapering, call him!"

"This is the second job that Jeff Haley has completed for us. The first job was 3 large rooms with cathedral ceilings about 7 years ago. He did an excellent job. Two weeks ago he did 2 small rooms, 2 closets and a larger bedroom with cathedral ceilings. He did a great job beginning with the quote (very reasonable), to the color matching and completing the job in a timely and professional manner. I will definitely use his services again and would highly recommend his company."

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.
