"If I could give Allen an A+++ I would. He is dependable beyond a fault, a perfectionist who doesn't cut corners, someone who will go above and beyond what you were expecting and VERY reasonable. On top of that he's a nice, pleasant guy without that "you're on my schedule so live with it" attitude that we have found with other contractors in the past. Also, Allen is very flexible and accommodating as we made some changes to our plan a few times before he got started and not once did we feel we were putting him out or being difficult. Once we decided on our final plan we left much of the decision making to him and he didn't disappoint; we were blown away. I know, for us, we have found OUR go-to guy!"

"Anthony, who was recommended by our interior designer, gave us an estimate in advance of our moving into our new construction home and was flexible to schedule the painting based on our difficult to pin down closing date.  Just days after we closed Anthony and his brother began painting the entire interior of the home.  They were punctual, very professional, and worked hard to complete the job quickly.  Their meticulous work is evident everywhere.  They moved kitchen and laundry room appliances without any mars to the hardwood floors. They also smoothed out the builder's uneven patches in a few places to apply the new, high quallity paint they use. We are very pleased with their work and would highly recommend them. <br />"

"Sean was great to deal with in the initial setup of our project. He came out and discussed with me what we wanted to have done and then gave us an estimate. The reviews and references were great, so Sean was my only estimate I got. As we got closer to the start of our project Sean was great with communication and letting me know an idea of when we would be able to begin. We had two large hallways including all windows, doors, walls, ceilings and trim painted. This involved removing some wallpaper (5 layers worth) and then painting over the wallpaper depending on the circumstances. Not an normal quick project as we have an old house with a lot of character. Sean and his son were very nice to work with, were always there when they said they would, left things clean and picked up each night and even put up with our 10 month old lab who had just been neutered. A busy house for sure. We expect to have Sean back for future projects and I highly recommend him for any projects you may have have. Hopefully when we are ready to paint our exterior, we will be able to have Sean come out as well! Thanks Sean (and son!)."

"George and his people did work at my home. Roof repair, removal of skylights, and painting. They were very good at staying on schedule, even finishing early. They were very professional and prompt and cleaned everything up nicely. Would hire them again without hesitation."

"I feel very fortunate to have found Virginia--she did an incredible job and was a pleasure to work with from the beginning. Virginia has a wealth of experience and this was a very challenging job. Not only did Virginia remove old wallpaper and prime the walls, but she also put up new wallpaper in a dining room and small bathroom, as well as painting some interior walls. The results were terrific and I couldn't be more pleased with Virginia's work--she really knows what she is doing, is extremely thorough and careful, and delivers exceptionally high quality work. I would hire Virginia again for another project and highly recommend her."

"I am so unbelievably impressed with the work completed in my home by Genesis Painting. Bill Egan personally monitored every detail and his efficiency and care to my pets, and my possessions was remarkable. My house has a ton of wainscoating, details and trim that is now razor sharp and perfect--the bedroom specifically had layers of wallpaper and damage: it looks like a brand new construction room. Bill's personal guidance to color and quality of products was invaluable--I wouldn't hesitate to hire Genesis or refer the company to anyone. So happy!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Nassau, NY

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.
