"Patrick did an amazing job with our wallpaper removal!! It was a BIG job (every room had wallpaper) and he had it all removed so quickly he made it look easy (though I know it was not!!). His prices were very fair and competitive against other quotes I received. The added wall texture perfectly matches the existing texture and you can't even tell which walls were papered now that they're painted. He was very pleasant to work with and didn't mind having my mom and I in the house doing other projects while he was working. Would highly recommend."

"The pro was super nice and friendly and both removed old and installed new wallpaper. He was very experienced with wallpaper jobs and gave really helpful advice on kinds of wallpaper and companies - how much to get costs etc. He was on time and ready to work long hours to get the job done in a timely manner. Very happy with the results!"

"Althea performed a fantastic job; it was a refreshing change to work with someone who drew my attention to the detail rather than me having to point it out, she is meticulous and the final result looked beautiful! After some recent trials and tribulations with other contractors it was a welcome relief to deal with Althea, she knew what needed to be done and did it fast, efficiently and to a high standard. I would have no hesitation recommending Althea for all your wallpapering needs."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Tampa, FL

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.
