"Dennis is truly the best. From the first phone call, he was very honest about his abilities and the potential challenges with our project. He did not oversell himself, and that was a big reason on why we chose to go with him. He was able to complete the project very quickly within 1 day, and we could not be happier with the outcome. Our wallpaper was more of a scenic canvas, so there were a lot of potential challenges with lining everything up perfectly in a small bathroom with windows and doors, but he did it so seamlessly that you can't even tell where the pieces stop and start. On top of the beautiful work he does, he is an all-around great person, so easy to work with, very professional, and so friendly. We will absolutely be hiring him again for our next painting or wallpaper project!"

"Jay and his team did a great job on my project. They were respectful of my time and space, keeping the job on track with the timeframe quoted to me. They were also one of the cleanest companies I have worked with. There was nothing left for me to do once they were done, but enjoy the space. I would highly recommend."

"It went absolutely fabulous. Susie is a pro as is her assistant John. She came in set up, took charge and did a great job. They were here two days and not one drop of paint was left behind. Susie even did a few extras for us. The place was cleaned completely before she left. Very pleasant to  have around."

"From the outset, Shore Lines was extremely professional and responsive. They were on-time as promised, and also finished within the timeline we set at our first meeting. We were extremely impressed not only with the quality of work and the beautiful job they did in our home, but even more so with how courteous, respectful, and clean they were throughout the project. I would not hesitate to hire them again, and in fact, my husband plans to hire them for the upcoming paint work for one of our property investments. We know first hand by being in the construction industry, just how hard it is to find reliable painters who also deliver quality work-so Shore Lines is a rare find as far as we are concerned.  They are experienced and knowledgeable, and come highly recommended by myself and my husband. <br />"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Newmarket, NH

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.
