Customers say: Quick response

"The OnCall team does wonderful work installing wallpaper! They are very communicative, thorough and clean. I have worked with them on many projects and they always do a great job! They also do repair work seamlessly (we had them do one on an older install that was by someone else we had extra paper for). The team members have a good eye and are experts in their field."

"John was very responsive.  he called emailed me and called me soon after i reached out to him on Angies List.  He gave me a very reasonable estimate, and started the job very soon after we sorted out all the details.  John removed wallpaper in my laundry room, painted my family room, hallways, living room, dining room, master bedroom, & bath, and a loft.  Her repaired and painted the ceiling in my spare room.  He also, painted all the popcorn ceilings!  And they look great! <br />   His price was very reasonable  for all of the work that they did on my home!  It was worth every dime! <br /> John and his crew were very detail oriented, clean and efficient.  They finished the job in 4 days, and did a tremendous job!   I would definitely recommend Brushworks, John and his crew to anyone.  I hope to have them back in the Spring for another project! <br />"

"I did not know how long the job would take. So, when Fernando gave the initial estimate, I asked him if we could stage the painting so I would have time to move furniture from one room to another as the job progressed. The condo isn’t large enough to stack all furniture into one room while others were being painted and then move the furniture back again. But the first estimate didn’t reflect what I needed so we had to redo it to include the extra time his men would need to complete the job. The extra cost was reasonable. Oasis scheduled work two days before and two days after a weekend. As required by contract, I moved as many items from the bedroom-bath and living room area as possible before they showed up. This effort also saved a lot of time. As a result, the entire job took only 2 ½ days which to me was worth the cost. They started with the bedroom-bath on a Thursday. As required by the contract, I already removed all the pictures, shades, curtains and rods, smaller furniture, knick-knacks, and some dresser drawers. Oasis could move the heavy items more easily because the furniture was on sliders. The bedroom has a small wood crown molding which was to remain unpainted. This was included in the estimate. The floors and furniture were appropriately covered. Each surface got two coats of paint. The crown molding was paint free. After they left, I found that the brown spot (from moisture) on the ceiling had shown through the dried paint and that a small spackled area in the bathroom was not sanded and painted. They corrected both issues after I told them. They worked on the living-dining area next and were able to paint the kitchen. I previously removed all the items from walls, the audio system, small furniture including seat cushions, and stored items. Per contract, Oasis removed three valances and all the traverse rods, including a large one with blinds still on it. They stacked the heavy furniture (sectional couch) in the middle of the area, moved two large living room chairs into the bedroom, and removed the chairs from the dining space but leaving table (heavy glass too big to move). The floors and furniture were again appropriately covered. They finished up painting the dining area. I was able to move the couch back into place earlier. The painters replaced the two large chairs. They removed paint from the rim of one of the living room floodlamps and from the ceiling fan motor housing. It’s worth noting that drop cloths were used on the kitchen floor, but not on the granite countertops or across the wooden cabinets. I did not see any paint drips after the ceiling was painted. This indicates they were careful in their work. Overall, Oasis worked not only thoroughly and professionally but did an excellent job cleaning up afterwards. I know Oasis staff works competently from my own experience painting this condo. You could tell customer satisfaction was important to them. I’m very glad I hired them."

"Had Frank do an interior paint job and wallpaper removal. He was very punctual and got the job done on time as promised. Walls look like new. A few spots of paint here and there on the floors but came off with some hot water and a screw driver."

"Great. They came and removed vanities, toilets, old tile, and flooring. They repaired and painted the walls. Installed a pocket door, new vanities, new toilets, new tub, and tile. We had to wait about two months before they could start the job and it was well worth the wait. They are very professional and talented. The job was done on time and on budget."

"Mr. Saadi and his crew did an excellent job in all aspects of the painting of my condo unit, which was in less than ideal condition from the painting standpoint, and made it look like new.  The work took two days and they did it precisely and quickly and went out of their way to be as unobtrusive as possible.  I would recommended them to anyone who wants this sort of work down well. <br />"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in South Orange, NJ

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.
