"I highly recommend Genesis Pro Painting. Genesis and his team provide “white-glove” service from the very beginning. Their online booking system is user-friendly and quick. I received information immediately confirming my appointment and another email detailing what to expect during it. Genesis himself arrived at my home to assess the project. The quote I received was amazing not only in its price but in its detail. There was no room for surprise charges. Robert and his crew were on time every day. Everyone was professional, friendly, and respectful. My property was left neat and clean every evening. I was sent an electronic update every evening that included photos of the work done. I’ve never hired a contractor with better communication or professionalism. I’m very nit-picky and they are very meticulous. My house looks amazing. Just hire them."

"Larry Taylor is an excellent painter. He did a beautiful job painting my kitchen, including walls, ceiling, moldings (ceiling and floor) and 4 doors. He was always on time, professional, friendly and polite. He is meticulous, very precise - he did not cut corners. He is also very neat - there was nothing to clean when he was done each day. His price was competitive and fair. I recommend Larry without hesitation and will ask him back for future projects."

"Mark did an excellent job at hanging beautiful wallpaper in a bathroom in my home. I was most impressed at how he was able to be so precise at the ceiling and corners, given the geometric pattern - that can be very tricky to hang. This level of accuracy reflects true craftsmanship. Thanks again!"

"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!"

"Jack Sciueche and his team from Touch of the Brush did a great job on the Master Bedroom suite project they performed recently. Jack outlined the plan and executed it to perfection. He and his team were extremely careful with personal items and neat in their work effort. Jack met time- line and cost that he outlined up front. They completed their effort and did a great job leaving the room vacuumed, clean and the furniture in place. I was extremely impressed by the work effort of him and his team. I would definitely use Touch of the Brush in future projects."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Ridgefield, CT

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.
