"Great. The crew was able to start the project earlier than planned (at my request) and finished sooner than estimated because of the weather. The crew cleaned the site daily. It is rare to find the combination of good quality work done on-time at a reasonable cost."

"First of all, Ron was very responsive, which is a rarity in today's contracting.  Second, he actually showed up to the site when he said he would, another rarity.  Once there, he made the water damaged ceiling and walls look like new, all for a fair price.  AND, just because he had his materials there, he took it upon himself to repair other cracks he saw in a nearby room - at no cost!  Beyond this basic repair, Ron provided insight on other more challenging problems I asked him about.  Definitely the guy to call if you have plaster or drywall problems.

"absolutely AMAZING service. Down to earth individuals who did really great work! we were caught by surprise at the water damage and mold that had occurred ( from a leak in the dishwasher), Chris did a wonderful assessment, told us all the steps and gave us a very fair price. He noted further improvements to be done with the lighting (previous improper installation) and need for access panel (for wiring of our dehumidifier) : and he took care of it!! (also took care of an extra "ding" in the drywall in a nearby closet) when they did their work, everything was taped off professionally and sealed, all tile and appliances protected. I was very impressed and it was such a relief to see their professional workmanship for this stressful time. They came multiple days (over a few weeks), texted/called my husband with updates on days in-between treatment and were respectful of our house and time. If you need their services, do not hesitate, truly A+++ I will hire again if the need arises!"

"Our living room had very old wallpaper that my husband attempted to remove himself. After discovering how difficult and time consuming it was going to be, we called Majic Painting. They were very responsive about giving an estimate and quick about scheduling the work. Mark was very professional and friendly and did the work quickly without leaving a mess. It was definitely worth the price we paid. I would use them again.

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Milwaukee, WI

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.
