Customers say: Quick response

"OnCall Wallpaper has done 7 separate jobs for me- each one more increasingly difficult than the next and each one executed flawlessly which is why we keep coming back!! Gerard is a true pleasure to work with, he is professional, courteous, kind and has very fair, competitive and reasonable pricing. He truly wants to make projects work for his customers. Him and his crew are true masters at their skill - we’ve had him hang high end custom murals, grass cloth, extremely intricate designs that required precise and very difficult matching, strange shaped rooms, small rooms and gigantic rooms, repair work to existing wallpaper, and rooms that needed a ton of wall prep work before they could be wallpapered. Gerard and his team have completed each with stunning precision and care, and in very timely turnarounds. Crew is extremely kind, friendly and tidy. If you are looking for a high end experience, and want your project to come out more beautiful than expected every time- look no further than OnCall for all of your wallpaper needs- no matter the difficulty or size of the project!"

"Jeff and his crew were fantastic. I hired them to take down wallpaper in my eat in kitchen and paint the walls. A day earlier I had a wall AC unit removed and found out that wallpaper was applied through the whole kitchen OVER wood paneling which posed a problem of removing. Jeff easily found the solution, him and his crew ended up skim coating the entire wall thoroughly over the paper filling in every seem and hole I had that needed to be patched. They then applied an oil based primer and multiple layers of paint. The work is fantastic, can't even tell that this was done instead of removing the paper. This process saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars instead of having to tear down all the paneling and re-sheetrocking the entire room. They did everything in 2 days and were on time both days early in the morning just as Jeff said they would be. Him and his crew were polite and attentive to all my questions and concerns and cleft my home clean as if they were never there. I would absolutely use their services in the future and recommend them."

"I had an amazing experience with Joe/ final finish painting. He did a great job at communicating with me from the start and through the end of our project. He did a great work— my house looks spectacular. He left the house in perfect condition (no damage or issues at all) and throughout he was only helpful and kind. Can’t say enough about how happy I am. Very glad I decided to go with Joe over a few other options. If you need a great paint job at a fair price, I highly recommend you give Joe a call."

"The interior and exterior work occurred on different days a couple months apart.   <br /> Interior - The crew arrived on time and on the day scheduled and painted 8 interior doors and trim.  They finished in one day and while the painting quality was good, the clean-up left a little to be desired.  We found paint splatters for a week or so afterwards and where paint was wiped up there was a dull white finish.  We were able to clean everything so there was no lasting effects. <br /> Before the second crew came back to work on the exterior columns, I spoke with Skip to express my dissatisfaction about the clean up on the interior work.  I also emphasized that 3 of the exterior columns were on or adjacent to a new composite deck and there could be no splatters or spills this time around.  Skip listened to my concerns and made it a point to insure his crew took extra precautions to make sure there was not a repeat. <br /> Exterior - Again, the crew arrived on time and on the day scheduled.  It two days to complete the job and the crew took great pains to make sure our new deck was not impacted in any way. <br /> I would use CertaPro again. <br /> <br />"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Middle Island, NY

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.
