"Go with Target. I've used several painters, and I have never had the excellent level of quoting and detailed Statement of Work, customer service responsiveness, crew professionalism, quality of prep work and painting, and ability to deliver on my timeline. I am not easily impressed, but Andy, Gabriella, and team knocked it over the Green Monster!"

"So wonderful to work with. They did the painting and wallpaper in my nursery and it came out perfectly, better than I was hoping. They made sure I ordered my wall mural with the correct dimensions and not only was the measurement spot on, but the application of the panels was seamless. Even added a cute wallpaper detail to my light switch cover AND put the crib in the room together. Would absolutely work with again"

"Denise and Donna were super right from the beginning. They responded quickly to my request and came out the same day to give me an estimate. The work was neat and perfect. There were a number of angles and stairs to worry about but they sailed along. And they took to my Jack Russell and she to them. They brought marvelous treats for both of us. I highly recommend them and hope to use them again."

"We were very impressed with Larkin and will definitely use them again. The owner, Bill, came out to our home quickly and was thorough in the quote. We have an older (1911) house and horsehair plaster. The work was extremely professional and they responded very quickly and calmly to a couple of unexpected things. After the work was done they made sure we were satisfied before formally requesting the final payment - the day after they left our kids pushed a chair into the newly painted wall and Larkin fixed it at no charge so we would be fully satisfied with the project. We highly recommend them."

"We have used Willie's painting on 3 separate projects now and will be using them for a 4th project coming up soon. The projects were 3 bedrooms, 1 with tall vaulted ceilings. They painted all the walls, doors, windows, trim and ceiling. We also used him to clean the exterior of the house and paint all the exterior doors and trim as well as to sand and stain the wood on the porch. Willie pays close attention to the details and does superb work. When we bought the house 2 years ago we used somebody else to paint most of the inside with what we thought was good work, but Willie's work was immaculate in comparison and his prices were slightly less for the quoting the same jobs. Willie himself is very friendly and professional, responds promptly to inquiries and get the work done on time. We know that we're going to be taken care of and have nothing to worry about with Willie and his team which is why we keep coming back."

"My house (and pool shed) was long overdue for an exterior paint job, they recommended a contractor who replaced rotted exterior then they power washed, sanded down remaining chipped paint, removed hardware, then primed and painted. I went to a very dark base color and white trim and it ended up needing an additional coat but it all came out good in the end and the cost was still reasonable. Very knowledgeable and professional."

"Daddy and Junior Paint is the best around! I have used them on several large and small jobs. They are the only company I call when I need work done. Rodolfo always returns my calls, shows up on time and completes a project on time or early. Every time I have used Rodolfo's services he has gone above and beyond for me. Rodolfo is also very personable and makes you feel comfortable around him and his employees. In our most recent project he drywalled three rooms which included all the walls and ceilings. Removed wallpaper and then skim coated walls. Rodolfo's finishing work with the trim was beautiful! When it came to color suggestion he walked me through the process of picking the perfect color. I will be using Daddy and Junior Paint for years to come."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Stow, 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.
