"He and helper were here at the appointed time and worked diligently through nine hours with a hour lunch break, although he said it would take two days. After moving stuff, removing vents and prepping, they had finished the ceiling and cut in most of the rooms by lunch. They put two coats on after lunch and cleaned up by five with outstanding results. Great job and guys."

"Shelton and his crew went above and beyond. We needed an entire outside paint job. I received a couple quotes and the reason I went with Brewer painting was two-fold: Shelton pointed out areas that he would paint and fix (where the other company did not) and he also was more economical (but that was just a bonus) He also fixed the seals in my window (which he did not have to do) and was so amenable and easy going. The quote he gives you (including price and job description) was done to completion. I actually had to call him to pay him! His crew was professional and they cleaned up after themselves. They were quiet and thorough. I would recommend them to paint my friends home, a family member's or the white house. They are the best in Moore county hands down! So glad we had them to make our home beautiful again!"

"Ron was great to work with. He makes a very labor intensive job look easy. He does a great job, besides getting all traces of wallpaper and glue from walls he washed them down so they are ready for paint. Ron is very neat and tidy, always keeping down drop cloths to catch the paper and cleaning up after himself as he works along."

"Perfect Coats was the PERFECT company to go with! Their price was competitive and the results were beyond my expectations! I knew when they were coming or if they were delayed. They power washed, they repaired (even declined an area that I thought was rotten but wasn't), they painted, they cleaned up, the crew chief took me on a tour to make sure everything was perfect - it was!"

"I hate having to leave a less than excellent review but I so appreciate the time people take to share their experiences, good, bad, and average on Angie's List. I just joined so I didn't check out this company before using them. I will begin by saying that the water mitigation dept. of CRC was excellent in responsiveness. We had a hot water pipe burst at 3 am above my closet on the second floor. We were awakened by a large picture hitting the floor as it fell from a saturated wall. We quickly turned off the water and put buckets under the dripping ceilings. We called our insurance company the next morning and our agent recommended CRC. We called and they were onsite within the hour (about 8:30am). It was almost too much to believe because there were probably 7-8 guys ripping out the ceiling and moldings and installing huge dehumidifiers, floor mats, and fans. It broke my heart to see my crown molding and wainscoting ripped out and hacked up- what a waste! They said it had to be done to prevent mold, but that they would be sure to replace it just like it was and I had no reason at that time not to believe them. The project manager was very reassuring and explained everything in detail. He spoke with our insurance company and for some reason they were given the go ahead to do the estimate for the reconstruction instead of an adjustor. OK, big red flags should have gone up but they assured me this happens all the time. Their estimator came at the end of the next week. We walked carefully around and pointed out each of the damaged areas. The estimator assured me repeatedly that the work would be done right and we would be pleased and it was guaranteed for three years. After several days my insurance company called and said the estimate was too high so they would need to have an adjustor come out after all. Why they didn't  send an adjustor to start with is beyond me. All the insurance adjustor did was basically confirm that the CRC quote was good although we found several areas where the CRC estimator had made mistakes (like carpet replacement for $0.62/sq ft in one bedroom and $3.43/sq ft. in another room for the same carpet). Obviously the adjustor didn't go over the CRC quote carefully. So after that, CRC never contacted us again. I called and was told the structural project manager would be in touch to schedule the work to be done. They even left a lockbox on our door so they could access our house when needed. It is now October and we still have not heard from them. We contacted the water mitigation project manager to ask him to please come get the lockbox. At least he responded. He removed it without knocking (or maybe I wasn't home). He was a really nice guy but the other part of the company he works for is not up to his standard. So, be aware- CRC- great for water mitigation but don't count on them to follow up with repairs. I rated them a C because unfortunately I think this is an average experience when it comes to dealing with home repair. What a shame. No wonder there are so many DIYer's. <br />"

"<p>Mr. Wike came over at the scheduled appointment time. He was very professional and courteous. He seemed to be knowledgeable about the work I needed done. He went over all the parts of the house that would need repair. He said he would write up and estimate and get back to me. </p> <p>I contacted Mr. Wike twice after he visited our home, left messages both times (I also believe I sent him a text message too), and I never heard back from him again. Never completed an estimate or returned any of my calls. </p> <br />"

"Eveything was done in a timely matter. Workers arrived early on 8-17-12 and worked pretty much non-stop (took breaks) in order to get in all done the same day even through it was very hot. Did great job with clean up. Also removed large satellite dish and hauled away. (no charge). Also trimmed a tree without being asked THANKS. Need more home repairs done and plan to give them first shot. <br />"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Southern Pines, NC

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.
