"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."

"My house was cleaner than even my best attempt, and thatâ s saying something! She was extremely detailed and got all the corners, spotless stainless steal appliances, dusted our pendant lights, so many little details that I really appreciate :) Usually when I hire cleaners I have to touch up where they missed, this lady missed NOTHING!!"

"I hired owner of Brushworks, Miguel, to paint my house and make repairs as necessary. Honestly, the house was not in very good condition as prior to me purchasing it about 2 1/2 years ago, I don't think the exterior had been pained in many years. Miguel did an excellent job. One thing you want in someone working on your house is perfectionism and pride in work. Miguel is both conscientious and proud of his work. He paid get attention to detail. My house doesn't even look like the same house. I am beyond pleased with the paint! So much so, that I hired him to do some additional work. Also, Miguel is a very nice guy and is easy to work with. His prices are reasonable too. I highly recommend Brushworks."

"Wilmar did a great job. We have old popcorn on half the ceilings on the upstairs (split entry) of our house. The previous owner painted all ceilings the same dark grey as the walls throughout the house. After getting some of the ceilings painted, I needed additional help with the living room and stairwell ceilings. Wilmar and his assistant (sorry, I didn't get her name) did a fabulous job! They both took great care to tape off and cover my furniture and carpets. They cleaned up all mess and even vacuumed and dusted surfaces afterward! Amazing job, highly recommend them."

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.
