"Mr. Williamson was always courteous & respectful and very conscientious. He had a touch job removing 3 layers of wallpaper in our master bath. He Worked diligently until all wallpaper was removed and walls were painted. The project was completed in a timely manner and beautifully done."

"All went well. I had met Nick about a year ago when he painted the house next door and noted his good reputation on Angie's List. I also learned he's booked about two months in advance. Several months ago he painted our master bedroom and removed the wall paper, textured the walls and painted a half bath. I contacted him on these jobs and he visited for an estimate and discussion of the work. I broke the work into two jobs as it assisted us in preparing for his work. The first job was $2,300 and the second was $1,000. I paid $1,200 on the second job as some other work was added. I furnished all paint and Nick furnished caulk, fill, and all other needed materials. Nick prefers Sherwin Williams quality paint. He scheduled both jobs about two months out at the estimate visit. Nick, and his assistants, Jeremy and Eric, are pleasant to work with. They arrived very timely, are neat, clean, professional and organized. The kitchen received two coats of paint due to the new texture. All trim was oil based paint. Balance of paint was one coat but with close color match."

"Fantastic. The house looks great. They did an amazing job. Showed up early every single day to get the job done. The pressure washing of my driveway and the exterior of the house looks absolutely amazing. The paint makes the house look brand new again. I would definitely hire Ace in the Hole again. Was very professional and helpful and I would definitely hire them again."

"I was totally impressed. They first came several days ago and look at my issues, then repaired my drywall. I had three companies from Angie's List and I contacted them, but on two of them get back to me then I pick Paul's Drywall. My contact with them was total satisfactory."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in San Antonio, 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.
