Customers say: True professional

"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."

"A and Z did wallpaper in my daughters room and did an amazing job. They were available the next day after I contacted them, brought all their own materials, and finished the job in under an hour. The wallpaper looks absolutely gorgeous you can’t see any seams and everything is beautiful!"

"I largely chose Fabricio/Sunyay based on the reviews on this site. My experience, however, was disappointing. Bottom line, I would not hire him again. Pros: - Responsive, always replied to messages/calls - Prompt, never late to meetings Cons: - Poor attention to detail: Upon inspecting the finished work, there were cracks that were not caulked, nails that were not removed from the wall, etc. - Sloppy work: Paint on windows, paint dripping off cabinets onto the floor. He did not protect the floor, nor does it appear that he used any tape for clean edges. - He left refuse all over the apartment, did not sweep up or clean off appliances that were showered in debris. Most disappointing of all, he was painting over walls that were a bluish/grey. We agreed on 2 coats of paint, and although he claims to have done 2 coats, the bluish/grey color was still visible. If Fabricio took pride in his work, he would have done a 3rd coat, which in a studio apartment, is not a lot of work, but he did not."

"Jose and his team were excellent! The wallpaper in our home was difficult to remove, so I was concerned. Despite the challenges, the walls are now perfectly smooth and the paint looks amazing. When Jose saw a flaw in the ceiling spackle after the job was complete, even though the flaw was not visible during the day, he came back the next evening to correct the issue and had the area repainted. The team also respackled and repainted a wall to correct the shoddy work of a previous painter, and the wall now looks perfect. The work was done with the highest possible quality, better than any other painter we've hired. Jose and his team displayed true integrity and pride in their work. I would recommend them to everyone!"

"Miguel was efficient and very easy to work with. The wallpaper removal was not an easy task, but he got it done and painted. We are definitely pleased with the results. We're having him back for another job too."

"Howard and his crew did a great job removing decades-old wallpaper from our foyer, stairway, upstairs hallway and master bedroom. They then repaired the drywall, skim-coated everything, and primed and painted the walls. They also primed and painted (with three coats) all the upstairs bedroom doors and closet doors and trim, which had been previously stained and varnished with a very dark finish. And they did it all in two days. They were fast, professional, and neat."

"I hired GJK to install vinyl peel and stick wallpaper in my kitchen, including the ceiling. They first sent their spackling/painting team to prep the walls - they were wonderful and cleaned up so well. Then GJK came on the weekend to do the installation. It was a pleasure to see a husband and wife team work so well together and they did a magnificent job and cleaned up completely when done. I found a few bubbles and called Greg to let him know. Both Greg and his wife, Janet, were here Monday morning to fix them all and explained that the glue had not dried yet but he made them all go away and I could not be happier with them and their work. If you need wallpaper hung please call GJK Consulting - you will not be disappointed at all! I would rate them 100 stars if it was possible."

"The painted foundation on my house had deteriorated badly and it was an eyesore from the street. Tony and his crew power washed the foundation and then patched, primed and painted it and it looks like new! They did a great job at a fair price. He also scraped and repainted my wrought iron railings on my front porch and they also look like new! I would highly recommend ABS for any paint job."

"Star painting power washed and painted the whole exterior of our house 5 years ago. It has held up extremely well. We had some damage recently and called them to repair it. They were incredibly responsive & completed all the work going above and beyond in honoring our warranty on the work. Often times one is disappointed that people don't stand behind their work, but Star painting did - 5 years later - and even when the damage was not related to their work. I recommend them fully to anyone looking for quality work, and professionalism with customers. The cost of service quoted in this review is the original cost - they did not charge us for the recent repairs which was incredible!"

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.
