"Shane and his team are fantastic. The initial quote was itemized and clear, and the schedule went without a hitch. They are so professional, kind, and flexible. Well worth the price…they are interested in doing the best job they can, not just finishing the job. Highly recommended."

"Jose Oiler, owner, kept me informed of the start date, predicated end date of my exterior painting project along with details about the employees scheduled to be onsite. Everyone associated with CertaPro was so nice! Employees finished each day by picking up equipment and cleaning up the yard. My home has a new life with a brighter paint color. I definitely endorse Jose Oiler’s CertaPro business. "

"Such a kind gentleman who completed an exceptional job for me. Jack was the first pro who asked if he could drop by, introduce, himself, and look at the project. This type of customer service, up front, meant a lot to me. He also priced the job for my budget. I would highly recommend him."

"If you decide to work with this company, I would strongly recommend getting everything in writing and making sure expectations are very clearly documented from the start. Throughout the process, some of the team, including the owner, was extremely condescending and difficult to communicate with. Any time I had a question or concern, it felt like I was being talked down to. Do not recommend "

"After meeting with and receiving quotes from 5 different local painting professionals, we selected Gene and his team and are so happy that we did! Gene was incredibly communicative and responsive to all of our questions and needs. The pricing was fair, competitive, and complete with no hidden costs. The team arrived on time everyday, were incredibly respectful of our home and space, and were very thorough in their work and cleanup. Beyond that, Gene was so patient with me as I struggled with decision paralysis when selecting paint colors and offered some great professional opinions to guide me. The project took a few days longer than originally anticipated but that is becuase Gene and his team wanted to ensure we were 100% happy with the finished product - I much prefer a superior final product over speed. We are so pleased with the final product and will absolutely be calling Gene for our next painting project!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Minneapolis, MN

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.
