We are a drug free company with random drug testing. We have been in business since 1992. We have 6 employees to serve you. We do use sub contractors when we need to. Our sub contractors have been with us for years and they do quality work. We are fully licensed, bonded and insured. All our trucks and company vehicles are fully insured. As for our employees and sub contractors we are named second on their policies. This means if their insurance is cancelled for any reason we are notify and we do not let the employee work or sub work for us till it is all taken care of. We only charge for estimate when they are for large jobs. This fee is only charged if we do not do all the work. It takes a lot of time and footwork getting a large job estimate completed. We offer all repairs for insurance claims. We will work directly with your insurance adjuster but we do not work for them, we work for you and make sure you get what is due to you. We work on all mobile homes and been doing repairs on mobile homes for many years also. We work directly with the Department of Labor & Industries and do all the foot work they require to make the job go as smooth as possible.

"I had a fire in my living room ceiling caused by the wood stove flue and when the Fire Department was done, I had a real mess, a hole in the roof, and a cracked wood stove glass door when the fire department sprayed the hot stove. Hawaiian construction was only contracted to do the living room damage but they went far beyond that, which I am so very thankful for. Before they could really begin, my deck needed to be rebuilt because it had collapsed. So the part needed was rebuilt by Ramon and he built it even better than the previous one. I was impressed by how well it was done. Next, they had to replace the whole floor because it was warped from all that water, then the whole wall behind the wood stove and the whole ceiling. I asked them to sheetrock the ceiling rather than the standard manufactured home ceiling, and they did, which looks much better. After all the repairs, they painted the whole living room, then they painted the next adjoining room and the dining room and into the master bedroom and then the master bathroom. They painted all of those rooms, and ceilings. After carpeting the living room, they also carpeted all of the other rooms they had painted as well! They even repaired a hole in the ceiling of the master bathroom, and in the floor. They really surprised me with a lot of the things they did. Even a new kitchen floor. They even replaced my garbage disposal, a complete surprise to me! The insurance company said they would not replace the wood stove because it was the cause of the fire. Then I was really surprised when I walked in the house and found a new wood stove waiting for me. I don't know how they did it but I was very grateful for that and very shocked they had done it. They did tell me they like to do extra work for veterans, a very humble understatement, and they went far beyond just extra work. In fact, they did so much that I may have left something out. Altogether, they repaired, carpeted, painted, and replaced things in three fourths of the entire house, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, when the job was to be for a single room! I can't imagine they even made much for the job. They did so much extra work they may have even taken a loss for all I know. And I'm even late leaving this review, for which I must deeply apologize to Hawaiin Construction. I would highly recommend this company for anyone needing repairs to their home. The work is great and they take care of their clients."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Seattle, WA

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.
