"I had Brian and his team paint all of the dark brown trim white in our 100 year old house (there's an insane amount of trim including columns, windows, doors, baseboard, etc.). It came out spectacularly. They did an amazing job and I can't believe how much lighter and bigger the house feels because of it. I really appreciated the attention to detail they had because the trim is pretty detailed with some weird shapes (and had a lot of wear and tear). They repaired some of the damage while painting to keep everything looking even as well. I really appreciate the time and effort they put in. I also appreciated how clean they kept our house and furniture while doing the job because we were still staying in the house during the project. The painters had a pretty good sense of humor too which made it a comfortable experience."

"Dynamic. It Can’t say enough good things about Fabio and his wife. They did an incredible job on my wallpaper, which was difficult because my walls are not smooth.. They were always on time and did exactly as they said they were going to. They exceeded my expectations."

"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"

"We have used Willie's painting on 3 separate projects now and will be using them for a 4th project coming up soon. The projects were 3 bedrooms, 1 with tall vaulted ceilings. They painted all the walls, doors, windows, trim and ceiling. We also used him to clean the exterior of the house and paint all the exterior doors and trim as well as to sand and stain the wood on the porch. Willie pays close attention to the details and does superb work. When we bought the house 2 years ago we used somebody else to paint most of the inside with what we thought was good work, but Willie's work was immaculate in comparison and his prices were slightly less for the quoting the same jobs. Willie himself is very friendly and professional, responds promptly to inquiries and get the work done on time. We know that we're going to be taken care of and have nothing to worry about with Willie and his team which is why we keep coming back."

I started painting residential in 1994. At that time I was mostly exterior. After two years of that, I began painting interior/exterior on the campuses of major university's in Boston and Cambridge. In 1999 I moved on to painting exclusively high end, million dollar plus homes in Ma. and NH. By 2002 I decided that I knew enough about this trade to start my own business. I was successful right out of the gate. Everyone fell in love my work. I must say that I really enjoy what I do and that comes out in my work.I get great satisfaction when I leave a client smiling upon the completion of another great paint job. As long as I am Anthony The Painter that will continue into the unforeseen future. From Cottages to Castles and everything in between Please contact via phone! Award winning.

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Milton, 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.
