"Brian Bilski did an excellent job for us. It turned out exactly as we hoped it would. He was very willing to work with us on this project. Work was completed in a very timely manner and we were not inconvenienced at all. We will definitely call brian again for any future painting projects."

"Leo is responsive and professional. He and his crew did an amazing job! They cleaned up everything quite well and the quality of work was superior (far superior to another contractor who had removed paper and painted in a few other rooms). The walls look excellent! THe main reason I chose Leo (out of 5 other estimates) was his responsiveness and communication. His estimate was right in the middle. I would highly recommend Leo to anyone looking for these services. This was not an easy job (some wallpaper was applied directly to sheet rock) but the results were amazing!"

"Really impressed with the end results of our spare bedroom . After removing the majority of our wallpaper I enlisted the help of Painting by Jerry to help repair our old plaster walls and paint. I really appreciated the attention to detail that Henry and the team displayed. The room looks amazing now."

"I would without any hesitation, recommend FreshLook Painting for any of your painting needs. We are relatively new to Minnesota, and didn't have a lot of knowledge about local contractors, but we certainly were pleased that we found Ryan and his crew! From start to finish, everything went well. We are super excited about the brand new look to our house, It was transformed from the 1980's to a modern looking home! Ryan knows what he was talking about! He gave some very helpful guidance on the color selection. His advice was spot on, because the color turned out to be exactly what we were envisioning. He also walked around the house with me and offered suggestions on what to paint the main house color (blue-gray) and what to paint the trim color (white) to help accent certain features, or in some cases, disguise other less desirable features. The crew did an incredible job. I'm still amazed how they made some of the window frames look brand new. The crew was friendly and respectful. We have received many compliments and most people can't believe it's the same house. You can't go wrong with Ryan and his crew!"

"I hired Elite Finish Painting to paint my guest bathroom. They removed a wallpaper border, did appropriate prep work and then painted the walls. The house painters were fair priced, accommodating, efficient and pleasant to work with. They were very careful not to make a mess. In fact they were meticulous. They responded to my requests in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend Elite Finish Painting. I would certainly use their service again."

"Brennan was very responsive and punctual. His painters were able to do the work from the exterior of the house without removing the sashes, so there was no concern about lead paint entering the house. He was able to remove a huge semi-permanent window air conditioning unit for us as well. Near the end of the project I noticed some areas (only visible from inside the house) that could use some extra paint and let Brennan know. He was quick to respond. The paint job is great and holding up nicely."

"Everything was done better and faster than I expected! They were very knowledgeable about paints and the process. They even took on a few extra projects I needed painted such as some exterior cement wall and our porch swing. Very kind and professional!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Saint-paul, MN

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.
