"Painting job good—- painters broke water pipe to fridge and owner of company had a breakdown when I asked them to cover plumbers bill not covered by insurance. They’re insured—— the remediation and restoration of floor and basement ceiling totaled $4400.00 which my insurance covered less my 500 deductible and the 425.00 plumbing bill….so I thought it fair to ask Levine to cover the latter two. Avoid Levine Painting if you value a company that insures when workers make a mistake that causes damage."

"I gave the company a deposit in April of 2021 to paint two sides of my house in 2021. They did not do it and kept giving me excuses. I finally asked to have my deposit returned and as of this date (3/22/22) they have not returned my deposit. Now I have to take further action. These people are not honorable. I gave a one star because there was no ZERO to give."

"First off Cory was very responsive on Angie's List and got back to me about 3 hours after requesting a quote. He was able to do my job within 3 days of messaging him while others were weeks if not months booked. Cory did a superb job with the plastering. He was super clean and professional. No sanding necessary. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and do plan on hiring him again for future plastering jobs in my home."

"Richard came out and priced the job, got back to me with an written quote a few days later. The agreed upon date was set. The entire woodwork within the home, the hallway walls, and new wallpaper in the bathroom was completed in two days. One day sooner than expected. Richard and his crew did a tremendous job and the price was extremely reasonable. I will definitely call him in the future, and I will recommend him to anyone I know that needs painting or wallpapering done."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Providence, RI

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.
