"Sarah was amazing! She is a true artist. Not only did she do a perfect job, she helped me figure out how much wallpaper I needed and what type to get. She is a pro for sure and I'm going to hire her again to do my dining room wall. "

"I knew going in that the two wallpapers I chose for our bedrooms were very tricky to work with. I had been told by a different wallpaper installer that I would encounter problems when having these particular pieces put up. I am so happy I decided to use Extreme Decor Wallpaper for the job. Roberto was extremely meticulous with his work and the finished product turned out amazing!"

"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 />"

"I hired EDN Coating to paint the outside of my mother's house and let me just say, Eder and team went above and beyond. They were very professional and courteous. I'm happy and well pleased with the outcome of their work. If you're looking for a company that does excellent work and provides fair pricing, you can't go wrong with EDN. I will definitely use their service again."

"Allbright was great to work with from the start!  Jud came to our home to give us an estimate.  He didn't pressure us into choosing their company.  He encouraged us to ask him any questions or for advice. <br /> My husband and I couldn't decide on which of the 3 colors we liked for the outside of our home, so Allbright sent one of their staff members, Moe, with paint samples.  As soon as we made our decision, Allbright scheduled us right away.  The "A"-team, Ellie and Brandon, arrived 10 minutes before their scheduled start time of 7:00 a.m. with such a great attitude.  We did a quick walk around so that there was no misunderstandings.  They were ready and happy to start the job. <br /> The job lasted 3 days.  We had the exterior of our home pressure washed, sanded down and painted.  We are very happy with the results.  The outside of our home looks clean and fresh!! <br /> The guys were prompt, professional and friendly.  You can tell that Allbright cares and takes great care of their employees.  We will definitely recommend and use their services in the future. <br /> Thank you!! :) <br />"

"If you are removing acoustic 'popcorn' from ceilings, I recommend that you give Original Richard a chance. The crew is very experienced in the process. There are other companies that specialize in popcorn removal that bid less and told me they would do my 1100 sq. ft. job in just a day. I wanted a good job rather than a fast one. After getting the proposal from Steve at Original Richard and discussing the job I was convinced that Original Richard would do it best. They took 4 1/2 full days, usually with 4 guys, and got it right. They also changed out some ceiling lights to new LED lights. I could not be more satisfied with a one-stop contractor that got it right. I will remember them as 'Right Richard' rather than 'Original'."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Seal Beach, 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.
