"Andy did a fantastic job on our wallpaper project. We had existing wallpaper in our guest room that needed to be removed and a new wallpaper to install. Andy was lovely to work with and was not only meticulous, but incredibly fast! I highly recommend his services."

"A mixed bag. The work they did was good. The painters were on time, clean, and professional. They left the house in good order, and taped off well, I only found one small overspray on the kitchen tile that was easily scrubbed away. Unfortunately, we left very frustrated by the final product and will likely be looking to have the job redone. I attribute that more to the following communication though than the workers' performance. We received 2 quotes, one for lacquer and one for paint. My wife said she liked the lacquer, but has hesitations about the vapors and cost at the initial consultation. No decision was made, and we held off for several weeks making the decision who to hire until we spoke to several painters. When we said we wanted to move forward with the paint job, they showed up and lacquered the cabinets. I can understand the confusion, weeks ago my wife said she liked it, but no decision was made at that time which to use. When I messaged them I was ready to move forward with "painting", I intended paint, not lacquer. Instead of reaching out to ask or confirm which product if they were unsure, they lacquered my kitchen and bathroom cabinets. A higher cost and product I didn't want. The cost also happens to fall $50 short of qualifying for the $2500, 10% off coupon of course. They did honor the discount though when we brought this up. On a side note, we did tell them we wanted the cabinets to match our current doors and baseboards, and gave them the paint code we had for those. The color turned out much whiter than the rest of the house. They said it was probably due to fading on the doors over time. That makes sense, but I wish they would have mentioned that prior to painting, as now the colors are off. Our doors are a warm, cream white and the cabinets are a cool, bright white. Being picky here: we do have cabinets that have that oak wood grain in them. They were able to get out most of that grain, but the results are a bit inconsistent from door to door. Some are completely smooth, while others have traces of grain around them. I really didn't need the grain eliminated and didn't know they were going to try but think it looks good on the ones they got it out completely. It is a bit odd looking that it looks mostly gone. We're likely going to be looking to have this redone now so the correct product is used and color is correct."

"He did fine for the job that he did and we had more, but he wanted too much money for everything else. He came out really quickly after I asked him to and I think within a week. There were no additional charges to the $99 Big Deal purchase price. The walls looked not great but okay after he removed the wallpaper. My experience with him was fine. It was okay and it was a good Deal. The Big Deal price was a good price, but if I went with his normal price, it was ridiculously high. It was like five times what it should have cost for what he wanted done. He was pretty responsive. If it was the same Deal, I would use him again in the future."

"Very honest, good worker, a perfectionist - I cannot say enough good about him! As well as wallpaper removal and painting, he was in charge of the contractors working on my property. I used him on many jobs I had as a designer. I have also spoken with other people who hired him and they were happy with him. Never any issue with him."

Knowing Paints and How to Apply Them: The choices today are more complicated than just oil or latex, and professional contractors will know what works, how to use it, and will have the right tools for the job. We are familiar with which selections will best maintain a lasting finish in the dryness of AZ.\n\nSpecial Effects that Really Look Special: If you are considering a faux finished, textured, antiqued, or other original look, these styles certainly can add instant warmth and appeal to any room. It has taken us a lifetime of experience to understand and best achieve the different looks that can produced by rolling, dragging, glazing, graining, sponging, marbleizing, venecian plaster, gilded leaf, pearlescent, limewashing, sandwashing, colorwashing, bellagio faux, and all of the other options available.\n\nCleanup and Disposal: Hiring a professional contractor means you don't have to worry about dealing with paint residues and other leftovers. As professionals, we know how to handle hazardous wastes that may be part of the job.

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Phoenix, AZ

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.
