"We hired Andy to put together a large wooden swingset and sandbox for our kids. The weather ended up being cold and rainy and he worked through it anyway to the extent possible. The project ended up being larger than expected and Andy knocked labor off of the bill to work with us. Would easily hire them again!"

"Certapro was a complete train wreck to work with. They painted blue cabinets in the front yard, straight on the grass leaving blue outlines.. The painters screwed up 4 brand new doors in the house, and the repairman the company sent made it worse - so much so that I had to have the installer come out and fix them. They got paint on carpet. Paint on original hardwood floors, paint on blinds, curtains and curtain rods (even though I personally removed them). They put full size woodscrews in the kitchen cabinet Hinges and now the doors are LITERALLY FALLING OFF. The list goes on and on. Save yourself some $ and headaches and go elsewhere. Thank me later."

"The attention to detail we got from the Reverie crew is what impressed us. They didn’t rush through the tasks that were asked of them (interior/exterior paint, landscaping, hauling off, trim, wall patching.) They actually cared about the quality of the work they turned out, and they didn’t leave a big mess behind for us to clean up after. We’ve actually had that very frustrating experience with contractors in the past. We will definitely be keeping Reverie Woodworks in mind for our family’s future projects."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Shawnee, OK

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.
