"Al communicated regularly before and during the job. His crew was respectful of the property and the tenants. They worked fast. They also noted areas that needed further work because of rotting and were able to take care of that. I would recommend AZ Painting and will use them again."

"I called to get information on a drywall issue I was facing. the gentleman stated that he himself could not complete the project but gave me great advice on several options. He spent quality time outlining each option, the pros and cons, all while being patient and courteous. He may not be able to complete this particular project, but I will definitely keep him in mind for other drywall projects I may have."

"We returned home from vacation to find cracks in drywall in two rooms. We had used Mudslingers in the past. Chris came over the next day and worked us into his schedule a couple of days later. The drywall was not loose or otherwise damaged. The crew mudded and taped then came back to sand and do final mudding. After it dried and was sanded they matched the texture and paint so well that it is impossible to see the repairs. They were courteous and professional at all times. They carefully moved furniture and put down plastic to protect floors and carpet. They even removed their shoes when entering the house to avoid tracking in snow and dirt. Everything was carefully cleaned up when they finished. Great job!

"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.

"Quin's painters did an EXCELLENT job! They arrived every morning cheerful and ready to work. The crew of two guys were very easy to talk to and went out of their way to make sure the ladders were not interfering with our daily activities. The guys really did take pride in their work. Quin did stop by to check out the project in process and after the work was complete to make sure we were satisfied. Quin's crew is truly superior (in many ways) to other painting contractors I have used previously. There was a day one of the guys had to leave early for a sporting event with his son, so we were notified in the morning they would be leaving a few hours early. I have never had a contractor give me a heads up before on a change of working hours. The crew even asked if they could throw some of the random trash accumulated from the job in our trash bins at the curb. I have never had a contractor ask previously, they have always just taken it upon themselves to add trash to the bin. Quin really does hire PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES WHO TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR WORKMANSHIP! I could not recommend them enough to other friends and neighbors."

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.
