"Benjamin did a great job. Installed and painted crown molding with rope lighting. He was very easy to work with and did everything he committed to do in the time frame he said he would do it. I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again."

"We hired Bianco Painting to paint our master bedroom and bath. The walls were in need of some sanding and patching and the tray ceiling had original builder paint and nail pops. We were extremely pleased with the quality of work. It looks like a brand new room! The team was prompt, professional, and hard working. They had the job completed in 2 days and were happy to touch up anything we requested. Pricing was very reasonable and Alex was responsive and easy to communicate with. I will definitely recommend Bianco Painting to my friends and use their services again."

"Dean, The first thing that impressed me about Dean was his responsiveness and punctuality. When I contacted him regarding an estimate for my job he agreed to come out on a Sunday afternoon. He was right on time for that appointment. Then on the day of the Job he and his crew arrived at the job sight right on time, finished the job in one day and the final cost came in under estimate. Dean's crew was very professional and did an excellent job on my interior painting job. Also did an excellent job of cleaning up after the job was complete. I have already reached out to Dean regarding a future paint job."

"I had multiple areas of my house that required drywall repair. Six holes in the basement ceiling where we ran new electrical wiring, tape delamination in three rooms, and a ceiling where we had water damage from a plumbing issue. Michael and his team provided the best quote and gave us unparalleled service. They arrived on time and worked very efficiently. I would definitely call them for any additional drywall work!"

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.
