"Steve and his 2 man team showed up early and got the wallpaper removal done. I'm very pleased that Steve took my smaller project- 2 powder bath walls and 1 large wall in primary bedroom. I would strongly recommend the Wallpaper Removal Specialist! EV"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of working with the mother-daughter wallpapering team at Marie’s WallPaper, for two challenging bathroom installs, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment they arrived, their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. They provided everything they needed to hang my wallpaper, tackling both jobs seamlessly and completing everything in a timely manner, which was impressive given the complexity of the projects. Who really wants to wallpaper? Not me! But thanks to their expertise, my bathroom remodel dreams have come true. They approached each task with enthusiasm and skill, proving that no job is too small or too big for this dynamic duo. They truly are a power team! I can't wait for my next project with them and would highly recommend Marie’s WallPaper to anyone looking for quality and reliability in wallpapering. Thank you, Marie and Sarah for transforming my spaces!"

"The painters were here on schedule every day. They covered everything to avoid getting paint where it wasn't supposed to be. They removed pictures from the walls and moved furniture out of the way, and put everything back in its place when done. Their painting was meticulous and the finished work is beautiful. The price was reasonable and we would definitely hire them again."

"Steve and his crew did a great job.  He's a very easy guy to deal with.  The house was built in 1947 and had many cracks and dings that needed some TLC.  It may have looked like a small house, but I had some serious painting needs!  Steve's crew was on time every morning and every night he let me know the status of the house and what to expect the following day.  It took a bit longer than either one of us planned, but only by a day or two.  There really were no surprises.  The guys were great.  Cleaning up every night and very respectful of my home.  Great attitudes.  I'd hire them again in a heartbeat!  They were a pleasure.

"We hired Be Green Builders to remodel the kitchen. The work was handled by Nir and his team of people. Nir is an awesome contractor that know what he is doing. He took the existing kitchen and converted the space into a much larger space by removing 2 walls. The work took close to 2 months and we are extremely happy with everything they did for us. we strongly recommend Nir and Be Green Builders to anyone."

"Could not have gone better. All communication setting up the job was clear. They came out to measure and give an estimate. The price was fair. There was no upselling. The job was done for the estimate. The company came with a crew of 4 who did the work professionally, quickly, and cleanly. They ordered the glass ahead of time, and replaced our large bay window without damaging interior or exterior surroundings. They did nice trim carpentry, and matched our paint perfectly. I would certainly use them for large remodel job requiring quality finishes and work."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Los Angeles, CA

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.
