Customers say: Quality work

"This was the third time that we have used McCloskey Painting over the years and as always we were impressed with the quality of their work. We actually had 2 jobs for them, deck staining and indoor wall painting. Mark and his team did all of it very professionally including all of the while you are here...add-ons that inevitably pop up. Including some last minute repair work to the stairs on the deck! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a quality painting service in the New Milford area."

"We needed to replace a patch of our living room ceiling due to damage from a water leak upstairs. We contacted C&B, who responded and quoted us a price quickly. The price was fair for a multi-day job, they got it done within a week, and they even helped us repaint the ceiling. Very professional, courteous, and trustworthy. We'd strongly recommend!"

"Jaime and his team are professional, friendly and dependable. They were able to work with my timeline and did an absolutely beautiful job on wallpapering (including stripping old wallpaper and fixing the walls). They are highly skilled craftsmen and I wholeheartedly recommend them. I will definitely contact them for any future projects. Thank you!!"

"Tom has, without a doubt, the most professional painting crew that I have every worked with! The crew consistently arrives and leaves at the same time each day. Victor, the superintendant, knows every detail of the job and inspects the previous day’s work before he does a run-down with the crew about the day’s activities. Tom came by the site or called me each day just to check in or to discuss any challenges that may have arisen. Because we had so much sanding and repair work, the site was prepped with new plastic sheeting each day. At the end of the day, all of the dusty plastic and drop cloths were removed and the work area was vacuumed. All materials and equipment was placed neatly out of the way. The entire crew was so polite and professional. Extensive trim moulding with an oil finish takes a certain level of painter to be able to achieve a master-class finish. Tom has those painters available. Tom is so responsive to every need you might have on your job. It was such a pleasure working with him and all the crew."

"Steven and team did an outstanding job turning our home from one with chipped paint from multiple terrible painting jobs and gapping holes from woodpeckers to looking like a brand new home! The team replaced all damaged shingles, removed an old door and added shingles in its place to match the rest of the house, sanded down the old paint (over multiple days) and then painted beautifully. They also took some extra days to remove old wallpaper up our stairs and in our hallways, repaired the drywall and repainted. Every day the team was onsite and ready to work at the time we were told (and usually even early) and the project was wrapped up exactly when we were told, and surpassed all of our expectations. We will definitely be recommending Flying Colors to anyone and everyone in the future."

"I have had this company do work for me quite a few times now. First was a three story barn. then my business reception area, office, show room, kitchen and bathroom. The price to do all the jobs were very reasonable. The jobs was done with complete care and concern for detail. All done in a timely manner. Very happy with the excellent workmanship. They were very respectful of my belongings, placed protective drape over everything. I recommend this company to anyone who needs to paint their business or their homes interior or exterior. I guarantee you will not be disappointed."

"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."

"David from E D Painting did a great job. He had to fix some of the work another contractor did regarding the drywall. I'm completely happy with the work performed and will be using E D Painting again for other interior painting in my home."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in New Milford, CT

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.
