"So wonderful to work with. They did the painting and wallpaper in my nursery and it came out perfectly, better than I was hoping. They made sure I ordered my wall mural with the correct dimensions and not only was the measurement spot on, but the application of the panels was seamless. Even added a cute wallpaper detail to my light switch cover AND put the crib in the room together. Would absolutely work with again"

"I had one room completely blueboarded with new plaster and then painted. I would give that a 10. I also had a hallway ceiling replastered and painted. Also a 10. I wanted to paint the walls in the stairwell which had wallpaper. Contractor chose to remove the wallpaper and paint instead of new plaster. The walls weren't in great shape and the painters didn't smooth some bad patch work so I had some areas that don't look great. When I pointed them out and expressed unhappiness, he simply said "Bad walls." So I'd go with a 7 for the stairwell. Overall good job."

"My wife and I needed some major paining done to our new condominium unit. The walls are 22’ high so we needed someone with experience. We called JMC for an estimate and Justin showed up, took measurements and assured us it would be easy for him and his crew to get it done in two days. We trusted him because you know within 20 seconds of meeting him that he is a man of integrity. It was the best decision we made because Justin is not only thorough, prompt and efficient but he’s also one the nicest people we’ve ever met. He and his crew are so considerate and professional that I know we will never use another painter again. We could not recommend JMC Painting more! They are the best. Thank you Justin and your team for making our place look brand new! Mike & Krissy Roberts"

"It came out better than expected given the condition of the walls and
Arthur is great to work with.  I would say if there are weird extra
services they are doing, make sure it is in writing as they have a lot
of jobs they are keeping track of and might forget. Dust management was
also a bit of an issue, though considering the level of mess the project
created, not too bad.  I would (and have) worked with them again after
their first project and would recommend.

"I don't think they knew what they were walking into. I had tried to remove the wallpaper in my master bedroom myself and left a ton of the glue behind. They sanded, patched and painted the entire room and even stayed over the time I paid for to get the job done. It looks fantastic. A+ job I plan on using them again for any future painting needs I have.

Edson was very responsive after I left a message. I needed to rush and have the work done immediately and Edson made this happen. His crew, Fernando, did a great job to remove the wallpaper, skim-coat, and paint the living room. I was very happy with the work and I will go back to Edson the next time I need to do a paint job.

"Our 6 unit, townhouse style, condo association exterior building was in need of paint job. It had been approximately a decade or so since the units had been painted. There was rotted wood, two outside decks per unit, and a very difficult to get to section in the back due to our unique landscaping situation. We acquired 2 quotes and Souza painting was less than 1/2 of the other quote we received. We decided to go ahead with Souza painting and we most certainly made the right choice. Marcio was up front and honest regarding start dates and his overall approach, he was on site everyday there was scraping and/or painting. His crews were professional, efficient, and quick. Every day around sunset they would clean up any ladders, brushes, or equipment on site. I would most certainly recommend Souza painting to anyone, especially friends and family. -Craig"

"It went fantastic. I can't say enough good things about Rodolfo & Jose. They arrived promptly at 8:00 A.M each day and worked long days to get the job done. The job itself took 11 days to complete, starting on a Monday and ending on a Saturday. They moved 2 bedrooms worth of furniture into one bedroom and then worked on those 2 empty bedrooms. Part of the cost of the job was a dumpster in our driveway for all of the wall debris. Worked out great for us as we had other items we wanted to get rid of as well. The nature of the job we wanted done is very messy in nature, but Rodolfo & Jose cleaned up at the end of each day. They are great workers who do quality work. They put up plastic barriers in each of the bedrooms to contain the plaster dust. They are very easy to work with and have a definite mindset of satisfying the customer. My wife pointed out a spot in the bathroom that needed to be touched up (outside the scope of our contract) and Jose ended up painting the whole bathroom (at no extra charge). That's basically how the job went. After each bedroom was completed, they moved the furniture back into place. This included reassembling beds, etc... At the end of the job (also outside the scope of the contract), Rodolfo hired a cleaning company to wrap up the job and clean the bedrooms. SInce the job completed, our bedrooms are all very "tight", meaning no drafts, no outside noises, etc... Definitely can feel a difference with the quality work that was done. I'm sure we will save on heating and air conditioning bills in the future. I would hire and/or recommend "Daddy & Junior Painting" again in a heartbeat. They do high quality work for a fair price."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Methuen, MA

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.
