"He was very responsible and professional. His estimate was very reasonable and his work was excellent. We weren't given the choice of exactly what he did on this review. So I am putting what he did here. He and his wife removed the wallpaper and put up new."

"They also removed the existing shutters and installed our new shutters. They did a great job power-washing and prepping for painting. Their carpenter did an excellent job replacing several rotten clapboards and trim. From start to finish, every person, including the Sales and Office staff, was knowledgeable, professional, experienced, polite and easy to work with. The lead painter, Paulo, was exceptionally skilled, thorough, detail-oriented, and easy to communicate with. Each day of the job they showed up on time, worked efficiently, and cleaned up everything at the end of the day. In short, we couldn’t be more pleased with the entire process and our final result. We highly recommend Target Painting."

"I'm a Realtor and I hired Mike to install wall paper in my bath and paint walls and ceilings in my home. He did excellent work including cathedral ceilings in foyer and master bedroom; he worked with a critical eye; patching settlement cracks and nail pops as well. He arrived on time and was super neat and clean. Another contractor damaged the bathroom wall AFTER the wallpaper had been put up. I asked Mike back to fix it. Not only did he fix the patch job that the contractor did because he felt it was not done good enough, but he did not charge us for his work! He said he wanted us to be happy with the work AND it was not his fault we had to have him back. We insisted on paying him for it, but had to guess how much to give him because he didn't want us to pay. I recommend Mike to all my clients who are looking for his services; he is EXCELLENT, reasonably priced, and I can't speak highly enough about him."

"Cobra Painting did great work. Showed up on time and were very professional. Originally only wanted my living room and hall painted. We were so impressed by their work, we had them return and paint my downstairs den and a bedroom. They worked neat and clean and were helpful with advice on current trends and popular colors that worked in our home. I would have them back again and highly recommend them."

"The owner, Al Czubik, could not have been more responsive or professional. He returned emails within the day and communicated with me regularly during the project. His crew were great guys - skilled, friendly, and professional. It was obvious that they care about their work. My house looks great! I would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future."

"These guys are fantastic. It was going to be an awkward job painting the kitchen ceiling and some other rooms. We're work from home and losing the kitchen was going to be a bear. These guys were in and out in a couple of days with no mess and did a fantastic job. So glad I hired them."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Shrewsbury, MA

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.
