"The team removed my wallpaper, sand primer, then painted my walls in two colors. They did a fabulous job, much bigger than I expected. They were totally professional, put up all the fixtures that had to be taken down, and cleaned up everything perfectly. I am a totally satisfied customer!"

"Culver's team of painters (Eric and Dan) completely transformed my kitchen from dated Oak to an amazing new white/gray. They were detailed, and kept me informed throughout the project. They completed the job in a week, and from the extensive prep, to completion I couldn't be happier."

"We were exceptionally pleased with Jeff and Lisa's work. They were always responsive, punctual and courteous, and their pricing was extremely reasonable. They do all the work themselves, and they pay attention to detail. There were several places in our home where they added trim pieces to ceilings and walls (at no extra cost to us), when that made the result look better than simply filling in cracks would have. <br /> Jeff and Lisa finished ahead of schedule, and left us with plenty of extra paint in case we needed to do some touch-ups later. Over all, they did an excellent job at a very reasonable price, and our home looks great! We will definitely use them again. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"From quote to completion, JB Drywall did not disappoint. The process to get a quote and schedule the job was quick and their staff was very knowledgeable and professional. The crew did an amazing job turning my garage into a second living space we can now hang out in and stay warm in through all of our WI seasons."

"Prestige Decorating wallpapered and painted my formal powder room with perfection. I plan to use them again for another room. I have a detailed wallpaper pattern and they matched each seam so well that you can't even tell where each roll starts and stops. They were so responsive and professional. I would recommend them highly. <br />"

"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.
