"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."

"Treat yourself to luxury. You will get quality painting at a more than reasonable price. I had always thought that the painters that I used about 10 years ago did a good job; and they did. But that work can hardly compare to the end product of these painters. Simply put, the walls of my 37 year old condo look refreshingly new again. Rich helped me decide how I wanted the walls, ceilings, and trims painted. Then his crew performed miracles on my condo walls. No more dents, cracks, or flaws on my walls. Because of their careful preparation, there was not a drop of paint out of place once they were finished. And during the painting, their attention to detail was truly unmatched. As I continue to admire their work, I keep looking for that one thing that they might have forgotten to do. Well, I haven't found it yet. Not only do they excel at their work, they were a pleasure to have in my home. I will soon be moving, otherwise I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"Jack and his team did an excellent job painting, while also removing old wallpaper in several rooms. The crew was reliable, very prompt & efficient, and every area was cleaned up every day. Responsive & communicative, the fees were exactly in line with the estimate. The quality of the job done was perfect. Paint costs were higher than anticipated but understandable, as several rooms needed extra coats of paint. I'd definitely recommend Touch of the Brush and I'll hire them again."

"We have used Spectrum Painting since the mid 1990’s. They painted after major renovations in our first house then when we purchased a new home in 2004 we had them remove wallpaper and repaint almost the entire interior. We also had them do an exterior paint but I cannot recall exact dates for that. In 2014 we had more work done and now we had another refresh of multiple rooms. We have never, with any other contractor of any type, had such consistent quality, professionalism, speed, and flexibility. We have watched this company grow and never ever has service or quality suffered. The crews work neatly, tidy up at the end of the day leaving the house livable overnight only to return the next day to reset and get on with the job. Really unbelievable. I would chose none other than Spectrum."

"Luis and Carlos are terrific. Patient, attention to detail, beautiful work. Walls covered in decades old wallpaper were repaired, restored and made beautiful again - two years on they still look gorgeous. I would rehire without hesitation."

"John was very responsive.  he called emailed me and called me soon after i reached out to him on Angies List.  He gave me a very reasonable estimate, and started the job very soon after we sorted out all the details.  John removed wallpaper in my laundry room, painted my family room, hallways, living room, dining room, master bedroom, & bath, and a loft.  Her repaired and painted the ceiling in my spare room.  He also, painted all the popcorn ceilings!  And they look great! <br />   His price was very reasonable  for all of the work that they did on my home!  It was worth every dime! <br /> John and his crew were very detail oriented, clean and efficient.  They finished the job in 4 days, and did a tremendous job!   I would definitely recommend Brushworks, John and his crew to anyone.  I hope to have them back in the Spring for another project! <br />"

"I did not know how long the job would take. So, when Fernando gave the initial estimate, I asked him if we could stage the painting so I would have time to move furniture from one room to another as the job progressed. The condo isn’t large enough to stack all furniture into one room while others were being painted and then move the furniture back again. But the first estimate didn’t reflect what I needed so we had to redo it to include the extra time his men would need to complete the job. The extra cost was reasonable. Oasis scheduled work two days before and two days after a weekend. As required by contract, I moved as many items from the bedroom-bath and living room area as possible before they showed up. This effort also saved a lot of time. As a result, the entire job took only 2 ½ days which to me was worth the cost. They started with the bedroom-bath on a Thursday. As required by the contract, I already removed all the pictures, shades, curtains and rods, smaller furniture, knick-knacks, and some dresser drawers. Oasis could move the heavy items more easily because the furniture was on sliders. The bedroom has a small wood crown molding which was to remain unpainted. This was included in the estimate. The floors and furniture were appropriately covered. Each surface got two coats of paint. The crown molding was paint free. After they left, I found that the brown spot (from moisture) on the ceiling had shown through the dried paint and that a small spackled area in the bathroom was not sanded and painted. They corrected both issues after I told them. They worked on the living-dining area next and were able to paint the kitchen. I previously removed all the items from walls, the audio system, small furniture including seat cushions, and stored items. Per contract, Oasis removed three valances and all the traverse rods, including a large one with blinds still on it. They stacked the heavy furniture (sectional couch) in the middle of the area, moved two large living room chairs into the bedroom, and removed the chairs from the dining space but leaving table (heavy glass too big to move). The floors and furniture were again appropriately covered. They finished up painting the dining area. I was able to move the couch back into place earlier. The painters replaced the two large chairs. They removed paint from the rim of one of the living room floodlamps and from the ceiling fan motor housing. It’s worth noting that drop cloths were used on the kitchen floor, but not on the granite countertops or across the wooden cabinets. I did not see any paint drips after the ceiling was painted. This indicates they were careful in their work. Overall, Oasis worked not only thoroughly and professionally but did an excellent job cleaning up afterwards. I know Oasis staff works competently from my own experience painting this condo. You could tell customer satisfaction was important to them. I’m very glad I hired them."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Lincoln Park, 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.
