"They didn't really pay attention to detail. They slept paint on outlets door knobs window sills that another company had to clean or clear the paint so that I could open the windows lock doors and to use the outlets. They also recommended me to purchase an enormous amount of paint that I never used."

Customers say: Quick response

"OnCall Wallpaper has done 7 separate jobs for me- each one more increasingly difficult than the next and each one executed flawlessly which is why we keep coming back!! Gerard is a true pleasure to work with, he is professional, courteous, kind and has very fair, competitive and reasonable pricing. He truly wants to make projects work for his customers. Him and his crew are true masters at their skill - we’ve had him hang high end custom murals, grass cloth, extremely intricate designs that required precise and very difficult matching, strange shaped rooms, small rooms and gigantic rooms, repair work to existing wallpaper, and rooms that needed a ton of wall prep work before they could be wallpapered. Gerard and his team have completed each with stunning precision and care, and in very timely turnarounds. Crew is extremely kind, friendly and tidy. If you are looking for a high end experience, and want your project to come out more beautiful than expected every time- look no further than OnCall for all of your wallpaper needs- no matter the difficulty or size of the project!"

"Red White and Blue Painting were able to make our old entryway look great again. Everybody else I talked to said I'd have to replace the whole thing but they cleaned it up, did surface repair and it looks as good as new! Saved us having to buy a new door and we're very happy with the work!"

"I hired WN Painting to handle the rehab of my foyer area and living room earlier this year. The good: I had no problems reaching him and when he wasn’t available he always returned my calls promptly. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. He price was affordable in comparison to the other quotes I received for the same job. I had no complaints with the tile work completed in the foyer area. The bad: The gentleman I dealt with was not the one actually performing the work. He was more of a supervisor than a contractor. There were two different people performing the work-one for the tile and another for the drywall, trim and paint and their skill level varied greatly. The ugly: Many aspects of the job were rushed and it really showed in the quality of the work. My major complaints are: • You can see the seams/tape where the new dry wall was installed. • The room was not taped off for painting so the lines were not clean at all. I initially complained about this and he came back to make corrections but even after a second visit it was not up to par. The trim was painted after installation so there was trim paint on the walls and wall paint on the trim. • The stringer was not sanded/primed properly so you can see all of the flaws & the trim does not line up evenly They have many A ratings so I am unsure if he just used a subpar worker for the drywall/painting/trim work for my house. Whatever the case may be, the longer I looked at the rooms the more issues I found. It was really disappointing because I had intentions on hiring him for more work around the house."

"David is one of the hardest working men I have ever had do work for me in my home. He was prompt. His work is exemplary . I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Dave removed wallpaper from the foyer, hallway and Livingroom them spackled, sanded and painted. He is meticulous with his work. He then repapered my dining room. Incredible job. If you have a major job to do in your home,by all means call David Deegler."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Princeton Junction, NJ

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.
