"These folks were the best painters we have ever used. They were very professional, began work when they said they would, and finished early. We couldn’t be happier. Their pricing was reasonable and they went over and beyond to do the job correctly. We will use them whenever we need painting either interior or exterior going forward. I couldn’t be more pleased to recommend them to you."

"Cindy responded immediately to my first call and was able to fit me in within a week. She arrived promptly the first day and was very accomodating when I had to order additional paper to complete the job. (The first order was based on an estimate from Bluegrass Paint and Paper). I would suggest having Cindy see the job and determine the amount of paper needed. She finished the job in the amount of time estimated and was thorough in her clean up. The job looks great and, other than scap pieces, I only have 1 wall length left which is good to have on hand in case of repair. Cindy has many years of experience working with all types of paper as she does numerous jobs for high end designers. I highly recommend her work."

"This was the first time I have ever done a remodel and was extremely nervous, but Paul and Tim completely put my nerves at ease. They did a great job, constantly keep me up to date with everything that was happening as well as keeping on time and budget. Every expectation I had envisioned for this remodel, they delivered and then some. Super friendly and professional. I will be calling them for all my future jobs."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Louisville, KY

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.
