Customers say: Quality work

"Mark did an excellent job at hanging beautiful wallpaper in a bathroom in my home. I was most impressed at how he was able to be so precise at the ceiling and corners, given the geometric pattern - that can be very tricky to hang. This level of accuracy reflects true craftsmanship. Thanks again!"

"Quality of workmanship was superior. They said they would treat our home as their own and they certainly did that. Thorough, responsive to our questions and Express Painting did everything they promised they would do. They were also exceptionally clean and created no dust from a lot of interior sanding. Taped off their work areas and cleaned up completely. We would definitely recommend and will be using them again in the future."

"We hired CetraPro to repaint out house, including fixing any rot. We also had them do work inside the home. It quickly became apparent that the crew that came out to our home had little to no experience painting. The inside paint was passable, but not professional looking. The outside was so bad that they ended up having to send a second crew out to fix the first crew's job. They painted over rot, missed rot, applied single coats of paint so thin you could see through them and failed to seal areas. When the second crew was much better, but instead of redoing the entire house, they went around trying to fix the most obvious mistakes. We needed to call them back once initially to remove rotted wood both crews missed. But then five months later, sections of the paint on our house was peeling up. We called them back out again and they said they would fix it but it's been weeks. They also said we would have to pay for the paint. Today, we discovered even more rot that has clearly been present for years, its so bad that when it rains its damaging a new door we had installed. We contacted them again today to have them come out and fix that. So far this has been a complete disaster by a company that clearly isn't interested in ensuring there painters do good work."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Litchfield, CT

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.
