"When you hire someone you’re stuck in the spot of do you hire for cheap or do you hire for quality. Nick was quality and from the other quotes I received his prices were fair. At the time he came out and gave me a quote I think there was one person who quotes me lower, but I went with Nick because he took his time to go over options with me, he was easy to talk To and you could tell the passion he has for his work. Nick provided me with a color booklet thing which I swear had over 7,000 options but it was very helpful and beneficial to pick our colors by having them all with you. Nick was able to start within two days of the quote. Him and his team worked quickly, three and a half days for the wall, ceilings and trim of a apprx 1,700 sq ft home. With materials and labor it was about 4,600 (with every penny) Every day I came back to the house I loved how Nick and his team respected my house by cleaning up after themselves and not leaving a mess. They took all of my window rods and closest racks down and placed them back without being able to tell they were even removed in the first place. There’s so stray paint anywhere, I’ve had houses painted where there’s paint left on tops of cabinets, a little on baseboards, so forth and so on, not a issue with Nick and his team. I was just moving into the house and had a busy work schedule so I left my spare key with Nick and was able to feel comfortable by the process. I would recommend Nick to anyone and I already plan on hiring him for other paint projects. Thank you Nick."

"If you want a really great painter hands down (believe me I have worked with 8 other painters in the past that were a night mare) call Nick Kisley from Ace in the Hole Painting tel:210-941-4178 Schertz, Texas, [*** Link removed ***] you will love him. He just finished repairing damaged sheetrock in our bedroom closet from a old roof leak we had that was previously repaired (yrs .ago )very poorly.He did a beautiful job. He taped ,floated and matched the texture perfectly, u can not tell it was a repair job.I interviewed a bunch of painters and he was the best, prices are fair ,he is very dependable , (came every day on time ,and texted me twice per my request ie.when he was on his way and again when he got to my gate)easy to work with (really listened to what I wanted him to do ,used the products I requested and gave me his professional opinion as well )and takes pride in his work,(made sure I was happy with the job, did not skimp on supplies, properly prepared the site to my expectations, cleaned up after himself in a professional manner, respecting my wishes as to where he could clean his hopper etc. ) He also responds very quickly to your request for a bid and request for references then any other painter or contractor I have worked with.He also responds very quickly to any questions/concerns pre and post job .All his past clients I talked to ,love his work and he has all positive reviews on Angie's list, not one neg. comment.He does all of his own work with a helper, he does not subcontract it out .He is very good at taping and floating and painting.He painted our entire closet ,walls, ceilings , base boards and inside closet door. He also power washed our metal pool fence, step railings and patio /pool area and for our pool fence and step railings he sanded down the rust spots and primed those spots and painted our fence with DTM Sherwin Williams paint and it looks great. Also he even picked up some extra paint I requested for a small project I am doing and gave me his store discount and he also gave me advise on what color he recommended and how to properly paint the gate and even hooked up my trailer to my pilot when I had trouble doing it twice .He is a gem.I highly recommend him.Read his reviews on Angie's List: ,just put his co.name in the search bar.Any questions feel free to call me 210-861-3107.Can send before and after pictures of jobs done per reqest if contact info. given."

"Charlie and previously painted the exterior of my home and done a great job and now we trusted him to repaint almost every square inch of the interior of our home including ceilings closets cabinetry etc. We could not be more pleased with the quality of work, the attitude of his employees, Charlie’ responsiveness and the final product. This is a painter that you can trust, their pricing is reasonable, and their work is great. it is marvelous that they can paint such a large project without one spill or major issue . and at the same time to be so patient and understanding when we wanted small things done to make the job perfect. I recommend these guys and will use them again at any point in the future that we need a painter. Some people play their part really well and the painter is one of them."

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.
