"We did not hire Five Star Painting because we found communication with them to be VERY difficult. At first it was looking good when their estimator seemed to understand the job and promised a speedy estimate. However after receiving this estimate we found much of it to be written is some form of 'painter shorthand'. For example, it listed several categories such as: "Body Back Deck/Stairs" and "Body Siding" and under each heading what was intended to be a description of the work. BUT, these descriptions were not written in normal English and contained things like this (from the "Body Siding" category) "Paint: SW Deck Scape Stain Any S/SS/S ( 1 Coat) Labor: $ 110.75" Well, I guess that we've watched enough episodes of "The People's Court" to desire a contract that was much more clear than this and so we e-mailed them and asked if we could rephrase the critical elements of the contract into 'normal English'. In order to make this easy for them we drafted a proposed 'page' two of the estimate/contract that said things like "Side stairs & small deck: Paint stairs, riser faces, deck, pickets & hand rails with 2 coats of solid stain - same as used on front porch" and also included numbered photos to match the written description. This is when things went really bad with Five Star. At first they did not reply to our e-mail request. Then we called and talked with the son (it's a father/son owner & operated business) who agreed to change this portion of the contract as we had drafted. But after several days w/o any contact we e-mailed and called again . . . eventually talking on the phone with the father. He said that they have been doing business for many years and have never changed a contract proposal for anyone and that he wasn't about to do it for us. In our mind it would have been a very simple 'cut and paste' word processing modification to this contract that would take a couple of minutes. By the way, it's important to note that we were not requesting any actual changes to the work that was being done or any of the pricing . . . we only wanted the contract to be written in language that anyone could read and understand w/o interpretation. So there you have it. If you're Ok with a business that: 1) Does not reply to e-mail, phone calls or texts in a timely manner, 2) offers contracts that contain 'painters shorthand', 3) Is unwilling to adjust the language of this contract into standard language, and, 4) will give you mixed messages (such as the son telling us that he would modify the contract and the father saying 'no way') . . . then Five Star is for you. :-)"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Raleigh, NC

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.
