"Steve and his 2 man team showed up early and got the wallpaper removal done. I'm very pleased that Steve took my smaller project- 2 powder bath walls and 1 large wall in primary bedroom. I would strongly recommend the Wallpaper Removal Specialist! EV"

"Sarah was amazing! Professional , friendly and did an amazing job. The wallpaper in my daughter’s room looks better than I could have imagined. I will recommend her to anyone I know who needs wallpaper work. This is her specialty and you can tell she loves her work. She was super helpful to me as I had no idea where to buy wallpaper and which kind would be best. She lead me in the right direction. I really can’t say enough great things about her and this process."

"The painters were here on schedule every day. They covered everything to avoid getting paint where it wasn't supposed to be. They removed pictures from the walls and moved furniture out of the way, and put everything back in its place when done. Their painting was meticulous and the finished work is beautiful. The price was reasonable and we would definitely hire them again."

"We asked Jim to remove the old wallpaper that had been in the kitchen and bathroom since the house was built. He did the job and repainted the walls covering all the marks and imperfections that remained. He is a true professional and made the whole process a pleasure."

"Painted full interior of house. They gave a very good estimate, arrived on time and finished and cleaned up on time. They did not try very hard to match specific paint samples I gave them. Nor did they do any prep work (smoothing rough spots or filling cracks, etc.) so I have a new paint job but all the old patches show right through. I would consider using them again only if in the agreement I specifically ask them to sand, patch, fill etc., every single spot on the walls."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Mission Viejo, CA

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.
