"J&M did a great & efficient job on what would have been a nasty project for us (removal of bathroom wallpaper that had been up 20+ years). Then they repainted our bathroom in three colors. All this was done in two days and our painter worked very hard. The customer service was excellent. They even spackled a couple of spots in another room which was not in the contract and were helpful in answering our questions. We would recommend this company to anyone and would use it again."

"Paint project was completed as scheduled and at a reasonable price. The paint quality is outstanding, building surface prep was great, (no paint on the brick work or any other areas), and the paint application to surfaces was really well done. I would hire them again for another future project."

"Operation clean up did a good job cleaning up all of the areas that needed it. Including removing and hauling away several hundred pounds of gravel, weed and trees. The owner initially quoted a price that was much lower than what I received from other bids and I was excited to save this money for other parts of our landscaping project. As it turned out, the final price was about 450.00 dollars higher than the initial bid. I don't fault them too much, as it was a tough job with much more gravel and trips to haul it away than it initially appeared. I would use them again but allow for a larger margin of cost from the initial bid. <br />"

"CertaPro of Salt Lake did a great job on my Yalecrest residence. Originally constructed with wood siding in 1941, someone (sadly) elected to clad the exterior in aluminum probably sometime in the 1960’s. The siding was showing its age, as was the window trim. CertaPro of Salt Lake did an excellent job of bringing the exterior appearance back to life. Eric Denton, the estimator, was great to work with and quick to follow up with any questions or concerns. Lori Martin was very helpful in the color selection process. The painting crew supervisor, Ed, and his team were great also; polite, professional and they took pride in their work. I especially appreciate the care they took in not disturbing the plantings in the garden beds. Not all painting crews that I have worked with in the past are that considerate. Needless to say, I would happily contract with CertaPro of Salt Lake for any future painting needs."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Salt Lake City, UT

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.
