"SJ Coverup did a great job putting up wallpaper in our dining room and on an accent wall in our family room. They were very professional, responsive, and did great work. This was our first wallpapering job and I was a little concerned on how well everything would line up with the pattern. We were beyond impressed with how it came out. We plan to wallpaper our powder room and would definitely hire these guys again."

"I had one room completely blueboarded with new plaster and then painted. I would give that a 10. I also had a hallway ceiling replastered and painted. Also a 10. I wanted to paint the walls in the stairwell which had wallpaper. Contractor chose to remove the wallpaper and paint instead of new plaster. The walls weren't in great shape and the painters didn't smooth some bad patch work so I had some areas that don't look great. When I pointed them out and expressed unhappiness, he simply said "Bad walls." So I'd go with a 7 for the stairwell. Overall good job."

"Amazing! Frank and Larry did an outstanding job painting the entire house and the exterior deck. We have hired them multiple times over the years because their work is always done with care, precision and attention to detail. For example, once they’re done they always go back and check to be sure there are no bare or light spots or spillovers at the creases. They are also impeccably clean taking care to put everything away each day when they’re done and they clean up after the job is finished. Highly recommend them."

"Mitchell did a truly unbelievable job wallpapering my entryway, curved stairway and upstairs hallway. He worked very methodically and precisely, deftly handling difficult cuts, curves, heights, and wallpapering match-ups. I think at one point he even fused two pieces together that didn't belong - but you would never know the difference! I was most impressed with his work ethic and attention to every detail, even with the constant chatter of my two year-old. I found him to be friendly, knowledgable, and reasonably priced for the finished product, a beautiful piece of art.  <br />"

"I can’t say enough good things about Metropolitan Plastering and Painting. Our old Georgian three story building went from looking tired out to looking elegant! Rafael Vasconcelos the owner of the business is thorough, conscientious and a great communicator. He always did what he said he would do…and more. He added a few extra touches like power washing the brick portion of our garage, adding to the overall beauty of the project or changing burnt out spotlights which were too high for us to reach ourselves. If there were any rain delays or changes, he immediately let us know and explained why. My sense is that Rafael went above and beyond what the project called for because he takes such pride in his work. He and his crew did a beautiful job!"

"I could <strong>no</strong>t be more pleased with the work Douglas and his team provided.  From the very first contact, and throughout the entire process Douglas the most accommodating, pleasant, professional I have ever done business with, and I have been a home owner for over 25 years.  The work was of excellent quality, the crew was efficient, on time, quiet and the price was extremely fair  Douglas (or Celio, the founder of the business) was on site each day to review all work/answer questions I had.  Douglas/Celio apparently have used the same, basic crew of men for a long time, which gave me piece of mind.  They were all courteous, neat and careful (with gardens, belongings in interior rooms, etc.) to the point where 3 of my neighbors approached them to ask for bids at their own homes.  I have had my home painted 4 times (the last time only 5 years ago) and Celio Prado has done the best job by far.  I will have them back to do more interior work next month.  All contractors could take a lesson from Douglas, Celio and their company."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Rockland, MA

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.
