"They were amazing!!! I highly recommend them for hire. I hired them to install wallpaper in my bathroom, after I destroyed the sheet rock trying to remove old wallpaper from the walls. they were the best price I could find of any company I called. He showed up everyday on time and did the job beautifully. He did not try to rip me off or charge more than what I was quoted. I was extremely satisfied."

"Treat yourself to luxury. You will get quality painting at a more than reasonable price. I had always thought that the painters that I used about 10 years ago did a good job; and they did. But that work can hardly compare to the end product of these painters. Simply put, the walls of my 37 year old condo look refreshingly new again. Rich helped me decide how I wanted the walls, ceilings, and trims painted. Then his crew performed miracles on my condo walls. No more dents, cracks, or flaws on my walls. Because of their careful preparation, there was not a drop of paint out of place once they were finished. And during the painting, their attention to detail was truly unmatched. As I continue to admire their work, I keep looking for that one thing that they might have forgotten to do. Well, I haven't found it yet. Not only do they excel at their work, they were a pleasure to have in my home. I will soon be moving, otherwise I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"Tony lived up to his reviews and exceeded our expectations on all measures. We had paneling in one room that we wanted to replace, but Tony offered a creative idea to essentially plaster the surface instead of replacing the drywall. The end result was great and his idea saved us a significant amount of money relative to a replacement. The quality of the workmanship was top-notch, pricing was fair, and Tony was very prompt and professional through our consultation, scheduling, and project. I highly recommend Tony and will definitely use him again for any of our future painting needs."

"I think everyone can agree that we enter into home improvement projects with a bit of nervousness and unease especially if you are working with someone for the first time. Touch of the Brush Painting was recommended by a friend of mine, so we decided it was time to update the interior of our home. Jack and his team painted almost all of the inside of home (excluding bathrooms), but they were professional, walked us thru the entire process, paid attention to every detail no matter how small or big, were considerate of our home, including all of us working or studying from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only did they do a fantastic job, it came out better than I could have ever imagined. I feel like I have brand new home that is beautiful again. Anyone who is considering painting their home, having some drywall repairs done, Jack stands behind his work and does a great job! I highly recommend him! Thank you again, Jack. Gunner says hi and misses you!"

"My husband and I put off having the living room painted for at least a year. We needed small repairs, sanding, and were changing from a dark color to white. The Moore's were phenomenal! They were quick to respond to our request for an estimate and were able to schedule the date for painting very quickly. Richard and his helper arrived early on the day of painting. They worked hard, were respectful, quiet and were extremely neat. Even with the sanding the room was spotless! By the end of the day everything was complete and clean. Very professional, fairly priced and great end results. We will be using Richard Moore Painting for the remainder of our painting projects."

"I couldn't be happier or more impressed. Howard and his team showed up on time, were professional in the prep and paintwork and were respectful of my space and busy home environment. They completed the job in the time that was quoted without rushing anything. They did a fantastic job on everything they painted including walls, ceiling, windows, doors, and all trim. They took great care to prep the walls and ceiling so the final product was as perfect as it could be. They covered everything with drop cloths and plastic so there was very little dust and no mess. And they even vacuumed after removing all the drop cloths which I thought was a nice touch! Howard is a straightforward guy who's easy to talk to and offers reasonable prices, especially for the quality and speed of service. He did his best to squeeze this job into my very short timeline. He's the kind of owner you wish all owners could be. Attentive, detail-oriented, considerate and straightforward. No lip service, no B.S. Thanks, Howard and team for making this project so much easier on me! My wife and I thank you! You're my painter from now on!"

"Had Frank do an interior paint job and wallpaper removal. He was very punctual and got the job done on time as promised. Walls look like new. A few spots of paint here and there on the floors but came off with some hot water and a screw driver."

"This is not the first time that Dejan has come to my house to do work, and as always he does an absolutely  beautiful job.  Dejan helped me pick out the perfect colors for each room.  He also had the difficult task of removing wallpaper that had been up for 20 years, and as a result the walls underneath were not in the best of shape. When Dejan and his team of workers were done prepping, and sizing the  walls they looked like they were brand new! I had very old kitchen cabinets that were very worn. and in much need of a facelift so I chose to have them repainted. When the cabinets were done, if you did not know it you would think they were brand new cabinets. I just love them! Dejan and his workers came on time very day, and worked hard all day long. They took care in covering everything (even doorways) so as not to get dust in other rooms when sanding, and they did a great job of cleaning up. It is clear that Dejan takes great pride in the work he performs. I would not use anyone else, and I would highly recommend him to anyone!  "

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in New Brunswick, 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.
