"the request was to remove the wallpaper. It had been on the walls for 30 years. Melissa's team came in and did a fantastic job of getting it off and soothing out the walls under it. I would hire them again if I had more to do."

"The first time we hired Armando and his team was to paint the inside of our house. They were always punctual, dependable, kind and very professional. They did an outstanding job on the details and worked with me on all my requests without any hesitation! We again called them to paint our stair railing, which was a challenge! And, again they did a phenomenal job - it looks so good. In this project, they had to sand the railing and paint using a sprayer. Needless to say, we were not looking forward to having all that dust and overspray all over the house. Armando and his team managed to excellently secure that whole area with plastic to prevent the rest of the house being in a mess - there was absolutely no mess! Then again, we called Armando to repair/replace some outside siding where squirrels had been chewing. He covered the siding with metal so squirrels will be brought to a halt, hopefully! Those entire areas look fantastic! We truly will not call another painter to do our projects! He and his team is all you’d ever want or need!"

"This company was as professional as the come, laying out all expectations on the front end regarding cost/time and not deviating from it. No delays. No hidden costs. The quality of the work impressed me with their superior straight lines and attention to detail. They were great to work with! I for one will be using them as my go-to painters in the future."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Rowlett, TX

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.
