Albright Painting is a full service house painting business. Servicing west Knoxville and surrounding area with over 10 years of quality, complete results.
"Jonathan's crew showed up on time day one and I was actually surprised how much was done that day. All prep work was complete and the stained woodwork had been treated with a primer. Days two and three were amazing. I left as soon as they arrived and came back around 4:30 for an update for the following day. Jonathan let me know they would be done one day early (always a welcome surprise). The last day went just as the others. Trista (his daughter and crew lead) told me to look everything over for a day or two and to let them know if anything was missed or not done to our satisfaction. There were only a couple of things and when I texted Jonathan, he let me know that he would have Trista come back out the following week. We set a time, Trista came back out, and she did the requested touch ups. This was such a great experience from beginning to end. I've already let Jonathan know that when I'm ready to do the exterior, he is the one for the job. Please don't let the price scare you. It was 2400 sq ft of stained trim, baseboards, doors (basically all wood in the house) that required three coats of paint to cover. The labor cost for that alone was worth the price in my eyes."

Wallcovering or wallpaper removals FAQs
A handyperson near you can take on the task of wallpaper removal. As a bonus, they can also take care of any needed wall repairs afterward and other odd jobs around the house. If you have high ceilings, ask whether they own ladders or scaffolding to do the job or will need to rent equipment.
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.
In many cases, you can paint over wallpaper, although it’s a better idea to remove it altogether. Try steaming the paper first to see if it easily comes off. Painting over it may be a viable option if it’s stuck on and will only come off in pieces. Wash the walls first and prime them with an oil- or shellac-based primer for the best results.
Wallpaper installation costs between $800 and $4,000. The total price depends on the price per roll, room size, wallpaper material, and required repairs. More complex projects involving luxurious wallpaper brands like De Gournay, Calico, and Pierre Frey result in higher installation rates due to the extra work required.
After removing wallpaper, you can dispose of small amounts in your household trash. However, suppose you are removing wallpaper from your entire home. In that case, 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.
