"I had a weird one-off project that I started as a DIYer and wanted professionally finished. Daniel picked up where I left off, fixed a few of my blunders, and finished the job exactly as I wanted it done. He was quick, efficient, and responsive. We agreed to terms and he performed the job within the budgeted envelope. The work performed was high quality and up to the standards I would expect from a professional. I had been held up on further progressing my project by the work and he unlocked my ability to move forward. Highly recommended for DIYers like me that want a professional touch to finish off their projects."

"I recently used Levinson's Construction to transform our 2 car garage into a functional storage area and a home gym. We are very happy with the end result. Their work included putting in insulation / sheetrock and painting the walls as well as laying the epoxy on the floor. The entire process took less than 2 weeks from start to finish. April's teams were professional, hard-working and respectful. Whenever I had questions or needed something, I dealt directly with April, who is very responsive and professional. She even went out of her way to help me cover up the garage fridge with tarps and bungee cord to protect it from the weather. I will use them again for future renovation projects!"

"We recently hired Priceless Painting to paint the exterior of our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Luis, Julio & Manuel paid so much attention to detail and it was impressive to see them work, always on time and continuously applying their expertise to the job. They repaired surface defects meticulously and applied the perfect saturation of paint for a long lasting great appearance of our home. The pricing was reasonable, and they completed the job on time as promised. Plus as professionals, they left the work areas spotless. We'll definitely hire them again when needed."

"This is our third project with Diego and Global Deco, USA. We returned from a holiday and found our home flooded. I called Diego and he guided us through the insurance and remediation process. He provided a competitive quote for the reconstruction and based on our positive past projects we went with Global Deco. We did floors, base boards, interior paint, kitchen cabinet painting, and full secondary bath remodel. All his contractors were on-time, performed high quality work, and professional. Diego carefully monitored our progress and stayed on top of any changes we made along the way. We are appreciative of his help through the flooding, remediation and rebuild process. We highly recommend Diego and Global Deco for your next project. "

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Katy, TX

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.
