"I called this service provider because I had 15-year-old wallpaper in one of my bedrooms that I wanted removed. I left a voice mail and he called back in short order. We made the appointment for 7 a.m. the following Monday and Steve (the owner) and his helper arrived on time and ready to work. The work lasted a couple of hours. The glue the paper hanger used gave them some trouble; but, they managed to get everything off without fail. In addition, mold was found on the walls when they removed the paper. They even cleaned this off at no extra cost. I really appreciated them. They were great. They were very friendly and very professional. I liked them both. I would hire them again without hesitation.. <br />"

"Allbright was great to work with from the start!  Jud came to our home to give us an estimate.  He didn't pressure us into choosing their company.  He encouraged us to ask him any questions or for advice. <br /> My husband and I couldn't decide on which of the 3 colors we liked for the outside of our home, so Allbright sent one of their staff members, Moe, with paint samples.  As soon as we made our decision, Allbright scheduled us right away.  The "A"-team, Ellie and Brandon, arrived 10 minutes before their scheduled start time of 7:00 a.m. with such a great attitude.  We did a quick walk around so that there was no misunderstandings.  They were ready and happy to start the job. <br /> The job lasted 3 days.  We had the exterior of our home pressure washed, sanded down and painted.  We are very happy with the results.  The outside of our home looks clean and fresh!! <br /> The guys were prompt, professional and friendly.  You can tell that Allbright cares and takes great care of their employees.  We will definitely recommend and use their services in the future. <br /> Thank you!! :) <br />"

"Web's Painting Company, did a fantastic job for us. Faced with unforeseen complications, Wayne and his crew did an amazing job and made our home beautiful. Highly recommend this company for all your painting needs. We found "Web's Painting Company" through Angie's list and I spoke directly with the owner Wayne. We set an appointment to estimate the job, and Wayne was on-time and texted me to let me know he was on his way. As we walked around the property he asked the appropriate questions and listened to what we needed done. He was knowledgable and identified issues that prompted calling him in the first place. The job was to paint the exterior of a 1950 rambler with stucco and do minor carpentry repair of dry rot on some window sills and trim. His estimate came in the lowest plus an Wayne offered an additional Angie's List discount. His price was comparable with the other bids I received. We hired him because he was knowledgable and knew the area. The job was bid to take 6 days and I offered an incentive of ignoring the discount if the job was completed on-time. Unknown to any of us, this would be one of the wettest months in recent history. Also unknown to anyone was the amount of prep work that would be needed to prepare the home for stucco and paint. Wayne's crew showed up each day the weather cooperated and worked methodically and went over the home with great attention to detail. Everything that was contracted to be done often exceeded my expectations. We could not be happier with the level of worked performed by this company. It was such a relief to work with such a professional crew. They even repaired some brick for a reasonable fee, and even repaired some bricks we din't expect to be repaired. The home looks amazing and I am thankful there are people like Wayne and his guys. Wayne, Mike and Geo are true craftsmen of their trade and our extremely gifted at what they do. You will be very satisfied with their work. We did not take the discount and even paid more than the contracted price because we felt the level of work needed fell outside the scope of what was reasonable and customary for this type of job."

"They were excellent and I would definitely recommend the service provider to anyone else. They showed up on time, they were very dedicated to their work and basically I think the painting was included in cost of the service. One thing that was very impressive about this company was that the paint they actually had to purchase was a lot more than what they had anticipated because I wanted to paint the room yellow and the yellow looked like they painted it for which I think they spent like double the price on the paint than they originally expected. They did not charge me any extra because it wasn't mentioned in the quote initially."

"I had my house painted and the front door replaced by another contractor. For the front door my contractor told me think about the color I would like to have it painted and we would look at that family of colors on his next visit.  When I met with him, he asked if I had decided on a color. I did - i wanted the front door to be painted in an antique style red. He looked at me and said "I don't do that". <br /> So since I had pretty much made up my mind I decided to turn to Angie's list and find someone who did that type of painting. <br /> I came across Heidi from Fauxtopia Studios. She had an inpressive portfolio for doing back drops for music artists, murals, antiqing funiture, and many other items in her extensive portfolia. Because she seemed to do things on a grander scale than my front door - I thought she might not be interested.  Not at all - she accepted right away - sent me samples of her work to look over so she had an idea of what I had in mind. <br /> Unfortunately timing was not the best for us as I contacted her in Dec 2014 when the weather was getting cold and wet. She also had a prior commitment - which was OK with me as I was not in a hurry and my Mom was going to undergo back surgery. <br /> Heidi was very patient and kind during the time my Mom had her surgery and recovery period - and very willing to work around my schedule. <br /> Between my schedule with work and my Mom - and the weather not cooperating - Heidi and I were finally able to agree on a date to do the job.  <br /> She is really meticulous in what she does - and OH MY - I never could have envisioned how the door would turn out - but it is more than spectacular. She was well worth every penny and I am so appreciative of her patience and understanding. <br /> If you are looking for something different than just a straight paint job - I would definately contact Heidi - there does not seem much she cannot do. <br />"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Palm Desert, CA

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.
