"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."

"Dany was a pleasure to work with; his crew was very professional. Price was competitive and he does not cut corners (doors and hardware removed, clean, prime, sand, 2 coats of paint). Our kitchen cabinets look amazing. They took care to protect our home from dust and their work was meticulous. I would highly recommend this company!"

"We were beyond pleased with Alex's Painting. Their price was so favorable compared to the other estimates we got that we weren't sure what to expect, so to say we were pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. The quality of the painting job was outstanding (they cut clean lines, prepped and primed the surfaces properly, kept the paint off our woodwork and floors, left no trace of over-spray, and cleaned up thoroughly after themselves). As a bonus, the entire company was exceptionally easy to work with, from Patricia's prompt and friendly replies to all our inquiries to Juan's and Alex's punctuality and friendly professionalism. We were managing the paint job from two thousand miles away and they made it easy for us by updating us with pictures and texting whenever a question came up. They waited until we were back in town to walk through the job with us, and made sure we were happy with every detail. Exceptional experience all around."

"The initial response to my Angie's list big deal was prompt.  Sid came to my house to give me an estimate.  Originally he was going to remove wallpaper in 3 bathrooms.  When he saw the areas he kept saying he would do as much as he could then the rest would be more money.  The work was scheduled for early September.  When I contacted Sid in Sept. he was having problems with his truck but he did come on Saturday of that week to do the work.  He started in the master bathroom.  After a little more than 3 hours I checked in.  I was amazed to find only about 2.5 or 3 strips removed.  Sid looked stressed and the room was a mess.  I told him to stop for the day and we could reschedule the remaining hour and he gave me an estimate of $200 to complete the bathroom.  This was not a large area.  I had some difficulty in contacting Sid to schedule the rest of the work and I had to call Angies's List before I got a response from him.  Eventually he came back and removed the rest of the wallpaper.  This time it went smoothly and it took about 5hours.  I then said I did not want anymore paper removed and paid him $200.  This was a frustrating and disappointing experience.

"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."

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.
