"Everything was pressure washed and examined before any work started. All of the wood repairs were done and then painting began. Two men were assigned to our job but on some days only one worked (Daniel, and he was EXCELLENT). We had a delay to our start date due to weather, and another weather delay in the middle of the job, but Daniel did a great job of keeping in touch and keeping me informed about when he would and would not be here and what he could and could not do each day. Trash and debris were cleaned up every day before they left, and when the job was complete there was no sign they'd been here other than a freshly repaired & painted house! Daniel did excellent work and made sure I was satisfied with everything done during each step of the process. Adam, the main contact at CertaPro and the one who did my estimate, is very friendly and professional. I enjoyed meeting him and discussing our project needs with him. He was very cooperative and helpful and made adjustments to our proposal as needed when I had questions or needed to make a change. Email response time was sometimes painfully slow, but overall the whole experience was straightforward and without complications. There was one small communication issue regarding our project start date (delayed because of weather but not communicated to me until 10pm the night before when I asked an unrelated question) but it was the only hiccup in the process and everything went smoothly after that. All work was done according to the estimate and our discussions and there were no surprises or extra charges along the way. I especially liked that I didn't have to pay them ANY money until the job was complete and I signed off on it. Our house and fence are now in great shape and look beautiful and I'm VERY pleased. I would hire them again and will recommend them to anyone I know who needs this type of work done."

"CertaPro was by far the lowest estimate we received for services to our home. We had recently had new wooden window sashes installed and needed someone to paint them inside and out. We also need the exterior of our home painted and some minor wood repairs done. CertaPro thoroughly pressure washed the exterior of our house before painting. Painting took 3-4 days, and the crew was thorough, professional, and efficient. They painted all areas identified including shutters. They seamlessly repaired several areas of wood rot. They expertly painted the windows. Once complete, they ensured we were satisfied and address a couple of areas of our windows that we noticed needed to be cleaned. I would definitely recommend them."

"Outstanding! Austin treated us like we were a major commercial contract. His painting crew was prompt, friendly and excellent at the work they did. Pricing was very reasonable and the company was very responsive to the punch list we created after the work was done. It was a very short and minor punch list."

"The room looked great afterwards, but there was one problem. Because the weather had turned warm and it was warm where Mr. Lee was working, I turned on the air conditioner briefly to cool things down. A vent high on the wall leaked some condensation, which streaked the wall below it and ultimately left streaks in the paint. I tried three times to repair it, to no avail. I stayed in contact with Mr. Lee, and he kindly agreed to come repair it for us without charge.

"Chris did a fantastic job!  I love my new kitchen cabinets!  I had late 80s or early 90s "pink pickled wood" cabinets.  Chris sanded, primed and professionally painted my cabinets.  He does the base cabinets and drawers on site.  He removes the cabinet doors, and takes them to his shop to spray off site.  He delivered the doors back to me the following week, as promised.  
Also, I have a Kitchen Aid refrigerator with the wooden panel insets.  Chris painted the doors to match my kitchen cabinets, for far less than buying new inserts from Kitchen Aid.
He always was punctual, friendly and a true professional.  He would always call or text and let me know when he'd be back, etc.
I would definitely have Chris back again, and probably will.

"Mr. Ventura gave us a fair price, then explained exactly what needed to be done. He painted our house and a small storage house in the backyard which he also repaired. All the needed wood replacement on our house, pressure washing and cleaning completed as he promised. Professional and great care taken with his work. He is not only informative, but asked questions to make sure we were on the same page! He is courteous, concerned and professional, three qualities that I deeply appreciate, especially these days."

"Rod did a great job removing my wallpaper and painting my bathrooms. He worked so diligently that he finished one large and two medium size bathrooms in two days! He is also a very nice and pleasant man. He is also reliable, dependable, and punctual. I enjoyed having him in my home and I would definitely use him for all my future painting needs!"

"Victor (the owner) and his crew arrived at the prearranged date and time.  They were very efficient (as usual) and completed the entire project within 3 days.   I have used Paintmaster Plus many times in the past and would never hesitate to use them again.  I wholeheartedly recommend them for practically any exterior or interior home improvement project."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Memphis, TN

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.
