"Steve and his crew removed my wallpaper (2 layers) very quickly. Fast and efficient clean up and recommended that I condition the walls prior to painting or wall cover. Good advice. Thanks Steve!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of working with the mother-daughter wallpapering team at Marie’s WallPaper, for two challenging bathroom installs, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment they arrived, their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. They provided everything they needed to hang my wallpaper, tackling both jobs seamlessly and completing everything in a timely manner, which was impressive given the complexity of the projects. Who really wants to wallpaper? Not me! But thanks to their expertise, my bathroom remodel dreams have come true. They approached each task with enthusiasm and skill, proving that no job is too small or too big for this dynamic duo. They truly are a power team! I can't wait for my next project with them and would highly recommend Marie’s WallPaper to anyone looking for quality and reliability in wallpapering. Thank you, Marie and Sarah for transforming my spaces!"

"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."

"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."

"I enjoyed my experience with Mission Viejo motors. I got there and didn't have to wait in a long line. The guys there were courteous and professional. The company provides free shuttle service both to and from your work or home. The services were finished when they said it would be. I liked that they didn't try to push any additional services on me. I am definitely going to use these guys again."

"I called this service provider because I had 15-year-old wallpaper in one of my bedrooms that I wanted removed. I left a voice mail and he called back in short order. We made the appointment for 7 a.m. the following Monday and Steve (the owner) and his helper arrived on time and ready to work. The work lasted a couple of hours. The glue the paper hanger used gave them some trouble; but, they managed to get everything off without fail. In addition, mold was found on the walls when they removed the paper. They even cleaned this off at no extra cost. I really appreciated them. They were great. They were very friendly and very professional. I liked them both. I would hire them again without hesitation.. <br />"

"Eder and his crew arrived on time and worked very hard. We were very pleased with the work done and the price. Eder removed and replaced outside light fixtures and made / replaced damaged wood. Eder and his crew also made stucco repairs. Eder also removed then replaced the gutter downspouts after the paint job was complete. Great Job. Thanks"

"Allbright was great to work with from the start!  Jud came to our home to give us an estimate.  He didn't pressure us into choosing their company.  He encouraged us to ask him any questions or for advice. <br /> My husband and I couldn't decide on which of the 3 colors we liked for the outside of our home, so Allbright sent one of their staff members, Moe, with paint samples.  As soon as we made our decision, Allbright scheduled us right away.  The "A"-team, Ellie and Brandon, arrived 10 minutes before their scheduled start time of 7:00 a.m. with such a great attitude.  We did a quick walk around so that there was no misunderstandings.  They were ready and happy to start the job. <br /> The job lasted 3 days.  We had the exterior of our home pressure washed, sanded down and painted.  We are very happy with the results.  The outside of our home looks clean and fresh!! <br /> The guys were prompt, professional and friendly.  You can tell that Allbright cares and takes great care of their employees.  We will definitely recommend and use their services in the future. <br /> Thank you!! :) <br />"

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.
