"This was my first time doing interior renovations. Dan made it so easy. He came with me to Home Depot to help me order the doors. He and his crew were always on time. He always arrived when he said he would. I was refinishing my floors at the same time and when the floor guy needed him to remove the old floor molding he sent his crew right over. I melted my siding while grilling during this time and Dan had my siding replaced that same day. His crew was friendly and neat. I never worried about them being in my house alone or that my house wouldn't be exactly how I left it. The doors were hung perfectly. I couldn't be happier. I will be doing more renovations in the future and am looking forward to working with Dan and his crew again."

"Anderson and his crew did beautiful and thorough work on our exterior. We had several doors replaced, a back step re-built and the whole house prepped and painted. They were careful to sand, prep and replace any rotten boards; their prep work was a lot like "restoration" in many ways. They took their time to do quality work and were happy to add on a number of small interior projects in addition to the above mentioned exterior work. Our neighbors were all very complimentary about the work, too! The only reason I can't give a full five stars is that some of the interior work seemed more rushed and not completed with the same degree of care and thoroughness as the primary job. However, overall, for the main job of exterior work, we were thoroughly pleased and would highly recommend them."

"Rainbow Painting provided a quote that was fair and arrived on time to start the work. They were absolutely professional, completed the work on time, and you would never know the ceilings were ever repaired unless you are a foot or less away and knew exactly what to look for. The quality of their work was that good. I would gladly hire them again."

"The guys were great! Showed up right on time. They removed popcorn ceiling and painted 3 rooms and a long hallway and stairwell. They did a nice job protecting furniture and cabinets with plastic and cleaned up at the end of each day. I have already recommended them to others. Great experience!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Manchester, 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.
