"⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of working with the mother-daughter wallpapering team at Marie’s WallPaper, for two challenging bathroom installs, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment they arrived, their professionalism and attention to detail stood out. They provided everything they needed to hang my wallpaper, tackling both jobs seamlessly and completing everything in a timely manner, which was impressive given the complexity of the projects. Who really wants to wallpaper? Not me! But thanks to their expertise, my bathroom remodel dreams have come true. They approached each task with enthusiasm and skill, proving that no job is too small or too big for this dynamic duo. They truly are a power team! I can't wait for my next project with them and would highly recommend Marie’s WallPaper to anyone looking for quality and reliability in wallpapering. Thank you, Marie and Sarah for transforming my spaces!"

"Steve and his team are real pros. They were on time every time. They quoted the job quickly and fairly. They were able to start the following week. Everyone who came to my house was friendly. They spent a good amount of time protecting the floors and furniture. Mostly importantly, the end result was just beautiful. My house was built in the 20's so not many lines are straight or plumb which makes things a little more challenging. I highly recommend Berger Painting and will definitely hire them again next time."

"Kathy helped me install wallpaper in my daughter’s nursery 3 years ago, then she helped me remove it 2 years later, and today she helped me install wall paper in a new home for a new nursery. I’m always blown away by her work. She’s diligent and thoughtful and speedy, too. Kathy is incredibly professional and very reasonably priced. She is ALWAYS on time and easy to communicate with. Her work is perfection because she’s a perfectionist and when it comes to wall paper that’s the kind of person you need! I can’t say enough good things. Thank you Kathy!"

"I called this service provider because I had 15-year-old wallpaper in one of my bedrooms that I wanted removed. I left a voice mail and he called back in short order. We made the appointment for 7 a.m. the following Monday and Steve (the owner) and his helper arrived on time and ready to work. The work lasted a couple of hours. The glue the paper hanger used gave them some trouble; but, they managed to get everything off without fail. In addition, mold was found on the walls when they removed the paper. They even cleaned this off at no extra cost. I really appreciated them. They were great. They were very friendly and very professional. I liked them both. I would hire them again without hesitation.. <br />"

"Eder and his crew arrived on time and worked very hard. We were very pleased with the work done and the price. Eder removed and replaced outside light fixtures and made / replaced damaged wood. Eder and his crew also made stucco repairs. Eder also removed then replaced the gutter downspouts after the paint job was complete. Great Job. Thanks"

"My wife and I are so glad we hired Lighthouse Painting. They did a wonderful job painting the interior of our home and doing additional repair work. From the onset, Nick, Theresa and team were reliable, responsible, responsive, knowledgeable, and always professional. The crew did a beautiful job on our home and it's evident they take care and pride in their work. I would definitely hire Lighthouse Painting again (to do our exterior), and recommend them to family and friends."

"From start to finish A Allbright is the best. Zach came to our house to provide an estimate. He was prompt and courteous. He answered all our questions and gave us a detailed description of what Allbright provides. They provided us with a contract proposal and the scope of work. The price was reasonable for all we needed done and we signed the contract. Zach arrived promptly at 7am with the crew on the first day. We went over the scope of work again, and the work began. The job was done in 4 days as per the estimate and the work was perfect. Extremely neat and courteous. In a few years, the interior of our home will need painting; Allbright will be our contractor of choice. <br />"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in San Gabriel, CA

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.
