"It went very well! The painters showed up every day and on time. They did exterior window wood trim and sashes. They also did a great job with the shutters. Jerry suggested we repaint our faded cranberry shutters. It looked so good after repainting the shutters on the sunny side of the house, we had them all done. They also did a great job on our two wood doors that needed to be sanded, stained and varnished. Pete and Henry also worked ho*** ** our wood trim around the interior windows. The trim was a mixture of woods and a mix of stains. Thank you for a great job!"

"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."

"We were very pleased with Brian's work in our new home! We had him remove some wallpaper and do a complete paint job of 2 bedrooms, the living room, and bathroom. I appreciated his communication throughout the process, as some of the walls and ceilings needed a little extra care due to some stains from moisture and nicotine. He left the space neat and tidy when he was done. He knows his stuff and I would not hesitate to hire him again as we continue to work on our home!"

"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. "

"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 "

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.
