"I couldn't be happier with M & C EuroDesign. Mike, the owner, came out and gave me a written estimate for the work. Other vendors wanted for me to email them pictures of my ceiling and then they would give me an estimate. Another company came out to measure, but when I asked for an estimate, they told me that they wouldn't know the estimate until they farmed out the work to someone else. But Mike showed up at my house within a day of first contacting him and gave me the estimate on the spot. We then scheduled the time for him to begin the work. He--not some unknown worker---showed up timely every day and worked hard. He was very clean in his work, even though it involved sandy several ceilings in our home. His work is amazing. I couldn't be happier. Our ceilings look brand new. His work clearly added value to our home. Mike says that he is a little more expensive than some of the other guys, but he is definitely worth it.

On the final walk-around, he took seriously my small concerns, and he offered to paint a door that we both noticed now looked out-of-place next to the newly painted storm door. I was so impressed with his work that I gave Lilian Touch a bonus in the hundreds of dollars."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Northbrook, IL

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.
