"I am extremely satisfied with MICHAEL and his company from start to finish. The job was done, impeccably. They arrived on time, they were very neat and cleaned up so that you wouldn’t even know any work was done. MICHAEL was very courteous as where his workers. They were respectful of my property. They installed wallpaper in my dining room and kitchen and it is just perfect! I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs work done in their home. Again, if they were 10 stars, I would give him 10!"

"Excellent. Could not be happier. Rich and his crew were very friendly, professional, punctual, and neat. I was given all the details of the job before any work began. They completed the job in a timely manner and it looks incredible. I received many compliments from family, friends, and neighbors. I would highly recommend North Jersey Specialists for any exterior or interior painting/power washing jobs. I hope to use them again in the future for some interior painting projects."

"The OnCall team does wonderful work installing wallpaper! They are very communicative, thorough and clean. I have worked with them on many projects and they always do a great job! They also do repair work seamlessly (we had them do one on an older install that was by someone else we had extra paper for). The team members have a good eye and are experts in their field."

"I can’t recommend World Painting Services enough! They did an absolutely amazing job fixing my bathroom walls and painting my entire 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment, including the kitchen and living room—all in just two days! From the very first contact to the final touches, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and satisfying. They listened carefully to every detail I requested and addressed all my concerns, ensuring the results were exactly what I envisioned. On top of that, they even provided extra paint for any future touch-ups, which was a thoughtful bonus! Before finding World Painting Services, I was getting outrageous quotes from other companies. With them, I got high-quality work at a fair price—exactly what I paid for, with no surprises. I’ll definitely be using them again, and their next project for me will be restoring my kitchen cabinets. Thank you again, World Painting Services! If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled painting company, look no further!"

"I was in search of a contractor to remove my current ceiling, install insulation and replace the ceiling with Quietrock sheetrock so that I could soundproof between floors and I'm very happy to have connected with Fabricio here on Angie's List. Fabricio responded immediately with answers to any questions I had or clarifications that I needed and when it was time to work on the project he and his team were here on time every day and completed the project flawlessly! I'm very happy with the work that was done and I plan to work with Fabricio again."

"Jose and his team were excellent! The wallpaper in our home was difficult to remove, so I was concerned. Despite the challenges, the walls are now perfectly smooth and the paint looks amazing. When Jose saw a flaw in the ceiling spackle after the job was complete, even though the flaw was not visible during the day, he came back the next evening to correct the issue and had the area repainted. The team also respackled and repainted a wall to correct the shoddy work of a previous painter, and the wall now looks perfect. The work was done with the highest possible quality, better than any other painter we've hired. Jose and his team displayed true integrity and pride in their work. I would recommend them to everyone!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Jersey City, NJ

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.
