"Jim did a great wallpapering multiple rooms in the home of the folks I work for. He was professional, friendly and they will definitely call him again with future wallpapering needs. As someone working in their home as a nanny while he did the work, I appreciate that he was cognizant of the children's sleep time and their wanting to watch him work."

"I had already received two estimates for the job that were way higher, and were delivered by unpleasant people. I was so relieved when Linda came over and was so nice, and she got my vision. It was a very difficult job, and I honestly think the first two guys just didn't want to do it. Linda was amazing and the work is flawless. I can barely see the seams when I am LOOKING for them. Also, the measurements were taken by someone else, and the repeat was incorrectly stated on the rolls of paper, and it seemed like we wouldn't have enough. Linda somehow managed to make it work. I can't wait to wallpaper something else and hire Linda again. <br />"

"He was very professional, punctual and did an excellent job of hanging wallpaper in my bathroom. It is hard to find someone with his skill and expertise and I was very happy and satisfied with the results. I will definitely hire him again to wallpaper other rooms in my house."

"We hired Phinney Ridge Painting to paint the exterior of our home after considering bids from several painting companies. Their bid was not the cheapest, but we were impressed by owner Nik Palladino's knowledge about early 20th-century wood homes, his commitment to their care, and the thoughtful, detailed proposal he made for the job. The people at the company were never short of fully professional, courteous, and helpful. Before painting, they called our attention to gutter issues that needed to be addressed. They navigated the challenges of summer 2020 pandemic and wildfires, and were finally able to get us onto their calendar in November. The preparation to paint was meticulous, with careful paint-shaving and sanding and immaculate daily clean-up, and they took advantage of rainy days to do the pressure washing. The painting process itself went utterly smoothly. They were careful about making sure that we understood every step along the way, and promptly took care of a couple of minor elements that needed fixing at the end. We couldn't be happier with the quality of the workmanship and the friendly, professional service Phinney Ridge provided. We would hire them again in a heartbeat."

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.
