"Brian Bilski did an excellent job for us. It turned out exactly as we hoped it would. He was very willing to work with us on this project. Work was completed in a very timely manner and we were not inconvenienced at all. We will definitely call brian again for any future painting projects."

"They painted our house and they were very easy to work with even though I was nervous about changing the color. I had lots of questions and Hunter was very patient. I would recommend them to anyone.

"Leo is responsive and professional. He and his crew did an amazing job! They cleaned up everything quite well and the quality of work was superior (far superior to another contractor who had removed paper and painted in a few other rooms). The walls look excellent! THe main reason I chose Leo (out of 5 other estimates) was his responsiveness and communication. His estimate was right in the middle. I would highly recommend Leo to anyone looking for these services. This was not an easy job (some wallpaper was applied directly to sheet rock) but the results were amazing!"

"The estimate was the most reasonable and the job was done in the time promised. The crew did an excellent job protecting floors and furniture. The quality of work and clean up were excellent. When a miscommunication occurred, Jose, the owner, went above and beyond to rectify the situation. Customer satisfaction is very important to Jose. We highly recommend this company for your painting needs."

"Painting by Jerry Wind is in a category all to themselves for painting! They are exceptional in every way. We are a repeat customer (second house they've worked on for us) and they have now painted the entire exterior of our current home (June 2021) and 90% of the interior (June 2018 and June 2021.) From the first contact, they are responsive and in close contact with you. When Jerry tells you he will call you "a week from today to give you a precise start time for your job", he means it. You don't need to chase them down. They communicate with you throughout the project and there are no surprises. They sincerely want you to be a happy customer. The onsite crews at our home have been led by foreman Marlon Reynosa. He is truly outstanding! It is apparent that he loves what he does and the crews were all on-time (every single day of the 3-week project), skilled, respectful, clean, courteous, pleasant, and professional. Their attention to detail is unmatched! They needed to hand paint several large sections of our house due to an abundance of windows, exterior stonework, and landscaping. To a person, they were focused on getting the job done with attentiveness and high quality. One of their crew members, Juan, was focused on the interior study which required stripping wallpaper, repairing the drywall as needed, patching, and painting. The study has a built-in desk and cabinetry, so there were some tricky spots to get to. Juan was patient and diligent. As he concluded the third coat of paint (highly saturated color), he edged (vacuumed) along the base molding to be sure any dust or debris was removed. The study was spotless when he left and ready to go. Marlon worked hard to get us the right color match for the exterior, which we had struggled with in trying to do some previous touch-ups ourselves. At the conclusion of the job, they removed old and incorrect paint cans, labeled the new paint cans, and stored them for us. There is no question you pay a premium for their services, but in our opinion, anyone offering a lower bid will also do a lower quality job. It may not be a bad job, but it won't be to this level of quality. (That has been our experience with other painters.) You get what you pay for with Painting by Jerry Wind and, in our opinion, they are well worth it! We will likely hire them again when we remodel our main bedroom suite so they can finish the 10% of our interior they haven't yet touched! What a wonderful company with great people!"

"I hired Freshlook to paint all the exterior woodwork on my home including doors, windows, trim work, and a back porch. I met with Ryan and quite frankly hired him on the spot because I was impressed with his understanding of the project, the details involved and a clear articulable plan of action. Ryan is a fantastic communicator and stayed in touch with me up to and throughout the entire job. His crew worked very hard and were courteous and respectful, always leaving a super clean work site behind when they finished for the day. Ryan's crew showed up and did the work in EXACTLY the manner he communicated to me - when they would arrive, what work they expected to complete that day and so forth. And did I mention how pleased I am with the results? Competitive pricing, upfront and reliable communication and quality work. That is what you get with Freshlook house painting. I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone (and already have) without reservation."

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.
