"This review is for est. no. 13342 and the work performed on July 1, 2025. Elliot Lund and Alex Biggan will furnish endless painting spin talk. What you will "not" get is the important surface preparation work specified in the estimate. You also will "not" get a good quality paint work. If you want a painting job that looks like it had been done by your neighbor's 10 year old son, then Culver's Painting is the company for you."

"We had a problem with moisture in our bathroom that created mildew on the ceiling in several places and drywall tape becoming unglued. Moretti’s found that the fan in the room was inadequately vented through the attic. The venting was properl installed and even though a new fan was potentially needed, once the venting was corrected, the fan removed air at the proper rate. We we pleasantly surprised that they just didn’t install a new fan that wasn’t needed as some would do. The drywall was completely replaced in the damaged sections and retaking was done. The ceiling and all walls were repainted. The repainting was done with and unbelievable amount of care. Areas were prepped and painted. We were always asked if we were in agreement with the process of the work and were continually kept up to date on the progress. The clean up when they finished was exceptional. Without a doubt one on the best contractors we have ever worked with and would hire them again for other projects in their scope."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Lake Geneva, WI

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.
