"Great job by MK GC. We had a small but tricky painting/wallpapering/tile job and they did a great job. They were exactly on time, on budget, and completed everything plus another item I added at the last minute. Will definitely be using them again."

"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."

"Had paneling removed from plaster walls that were glued on. Robert gave a very fair price and was cost concious. All the spots were the plaster came off had to be spackled. For the final coat he inspected very closely to see any spots that needed to be touched up.He cleaned up daily and the final clean up was excellent. I would recommend him."

"Victor and his team are very professional, and we would gladly hire them again! They were always on time, and handled our home with care, ensuring they would protect all our furniture, and possessions during their time in our home. We recently changed our countertops, and backsplash in our kitchen. Having the cabinets painted brought all the upgrades together, and gave a wonderful refresh to our kitchen. Victor was always hands on, and called daily to give us updates on the progress of the work. This was most appreciative, as many contractors are not as caring, or informative once they are hired. I can't express how pleased we are with the work done!!!!!"

"I enthusiastically recommend John Lukin! He is a gem of a person, a thoughtful professional, and your project will be the better for it. John painted my whole home. He was at the job at precisely the time he said he would be every day. This is mind-blowing in NYC! His attention to detail and quality are the highest I have seen. He repaired mistakes to the original construction and made the home look pristine. It is now in better shape than it was when it was brand new. I will be telling my friends about John and think that you will too."

"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."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Maywood, 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.
