"It was one of the best service calls for our home that we have ever experienced! Nick was prompt each of the three days to which he committed. He was courteous, making sure that he was taking care to keep areas in which he was working clean and uncluttered. His installation of new wallpaper has brightened up our entry are in a very whimsical and unique way! We could not be happier!"

"They are quick and accurate. They did the whole 3500 sq ft house in six days, patching and painting. Be prepared not to have much use of the house during the time they are on the job, but they get it over and done with and it looks great."

"Geary helped us in consulting on storm door selection, providing professional installation, and also troubleshooting our dryer vent. He is responsive, very professional, and keeps things very clean. He did great work on the door. He was also very family friendly. It’s astonishing to see any kind of negative reviews on here. We will definitely be calling Geary again for future projects and highly recommend him...best in class."

"We recently moved into our home and wanted to have about 2/3 of the 3500 sqft home painted. Blue Sky had come up on our neighborhood message board so we decided to call for a quote. Joe was very responsive and set up a time to provide a quote within a few days. The quote was detailed, included everything (paint, supplies, etc) and was under other quotes we received. Once scheduled, Joe and his crew showed up early and worked quickly, finishing in just under two days. They took care of everything, we didn't have to do any prep work, furniture moving, or fixture removal. We could not be happier with the results! The attention to detail was impressive and the quality of the work was outstanding. We can't wait to use Blue Sky for the rest of our house! Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!"

"Overall we are happy with the work done. One of the things that most impressed us is that our call was returned promptly and we received the promised quote promptly as well. This is in stark contrast to the other ( all A rated ) providers we called, many of whom either never bothered to return our initial call or send us the promised quote after reviewing the job. Work was done as agreed, no surprises."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Nashville, TN

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.
