"OnCall Wallpaper has done 7 separate jobs for me- each one more increasingly difficult than the next and each one executed flawlessly which is why we keep coming back!! Gerard is a true pleasure to work with, he is professional, courteous, kind and has very fair, competitive and reasonable pricing. He truly wants to make projects work for his customers. Him and his crew are true masters at their skill - we’ve had him hang high end custom murals, grass cloth, extremely intricate designs that required precise and very difficult matching, strange shaped rooms, small rooms and gigantic rooms, repair work to existing wallpaper, and rooms that needed a ton of wall prep work before they could be wallpapered. Gerard and his team have completed each with stunning precision and care, and in very timely turnarounds. Crew is extremely kind, friendly and tidy. If you are looking for a high end experience, and want your project to come out more beautiful than expected every time- look no further than OnCall for all of your wallpaper needs- no matter the difficulty or size of the project!"

"Excellent. Could not be happier. Rich and his crew were very friendly, professional, punctual, and neat. I was given all the details of the job before any work began. They completed the job in a timely manner and it looks incredible. I received many compliments from family, friends, and neighbors. I would highly recommend North Jersey Specialists for any exterior or interior painting/power washing jobs. I hope to use them again in the future for some interior painting projects."

"We have used Spectrum Painting since the mid 1990’s. They painted after major renovations in our first house then when we purchased a new home in 2004 we had them remove wallpaper and repaint almost the entire interior. We also had them do an exterior paint but I cannot recall exact dates for that. In 2014 we had more work done and now we had another refresh of multiple rooms. We have never, with any other contractor of any type, had such consistent quality, professionalism, speed, and flexibility. We have watched this company grow and never ever has service or quality suffered. The crews work neatly, tidy up at the end of the day leaving the house livable overnight only to return the next day to reset and get on with the job. Really unbelievable. I would chose none other than Spectrum."

"Several members of my family have used Luis and his crew for partial and full house painting projects. The results have been awesome! This company is very professional to deal with, from estimation through completion. My project included tedious wallpaper removal and extensive wall prep, including replacement of a couple of areas of sheetrock where mold was discovered. While much of the project was painting, Luis and crew did some carpentry, including moulding and a chair rail. I am thrilled with the finished product!"

"John was very responsive.  he called emailed me and called me soon after i reached out to him on Angies List.  He gave me a very reasonable estimate, and started the job very soon after we sorted out all the details.  John removed wallpaper in my laundry room, painted my family room, hallways, living room, dining room, master bedroom, & bath, and a loft.  Her repaired and painted the ceiling in my spare room.  He also, painted all the popcorn ceilings!  And they look great! <br />   His price was very reasonable  for all of the work that they did on my home!  It was worth every dime! <br /> John and his crew were very detail oriented, clean and efficient.  They finished the job in 4 days, and did a tremendous job!   I would definitely recommend Brushworks, John and his crew to anyone.  I hope to have them back in the Spring for another project! <br />"

"His attention to detail and the workmanship is fantastic! He removed everything from the bathroom, he didn't ask me to do it eventhough I would have. I was running around with the kids when he got there and he just went on his way. Than the bathroom turned into other work that me and my husband have been neglecting. He repaired our back deck and steps, put lattice around the deck, it now looks fantastic and finished. His follow up and feedback was great, definitely worth a call."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Mount Arlington, NJ

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.
