"We contacted Jimmy to paint my mother's condo before putting it on the market because we'd used him before at our house, and he did an amazing job. He came for a quote, and we let him know we'd be removing the popcorn ceiling, and he said his company did that too. We hired him for both jobs on the spot, and they did fantastic work. They were quick, and there wasn't a spot or drop out of place. They repaired some places in the ceiling with drywall, they patched a few spots on the walls, and painted the ceiling, the walls, and all the trim for a very reasonable price."

"You have to factor in the pandemic and shortage of materials. We started with a pool that had not been renovated in over 30 years with leaves and hidden issues where pipes had not been properly glued. The 1600 sq ft of brick pavers were coming up and had air gaps. What was amazing was that he was able to get us the marble we wanted, glass tile and diamond brite selection. He and his wife came in and removed all the loose bricks, installed the new marble tile in the French pattern, and decko drain. They then creatively poked access for the new jets and got the main drain setup (which for some reason had been disabled). The prior setup was a 2 inch skimmer, no main drain, and a 1 inch jet. Now we had a 2 inch skimmer, 2 inch main drain, and 2 1 1/2 jets. We went with a smaller light which was much cheaper and has plenty of light with it's 14 different light variances, As far as the quality of work he is very particular and several times pulled everything out to redo a simple issue. An example was when the skimmer pressure test failed at high pressure. Another person would have let it go, but he pulled out all the decking around the skimmer to dig into the area about 2 feet below from the original work. He found the problem where original joints had not been properly glued and rectified the situation, (this was not his work, but from the original installation). This was an additional expense to him, but he did not charge us for this. The electrician was not very reliable, but Fabio would come and wait for him for hours to ensure that this got done. The tile was beautiful and Fabio asked if he could add additional tile to the floor for a flourish. It looked beautiful and my wife loved it. We went through a number of Diamond Brite people and he was able to get the McCintosh brothers to install this and that was beautiful. The finished job is sensational. When we get rain now the rain flows out and there are no puddles. Previously we had these for days. Fabio and Neci are very hard workers and very honorable. The price did change a few times, but there were huge reasons for this. Plumbing was not in place or broken as mentioned in this review which was not his fault. When you start a job there are sometimes unknown variables. Here we had leaks, air gaps and all sorts of issues which Fabio had to account for. The finished job was excellent! We would be willing to act as a reference and show the work he has done for everyone. My comments may come out as some negatives, but really only are meant to demonstrate all of the various challenges Fabio had to deal with to complete this job. There were no negatives with him or his work. There were several delays due to materials, waiting for the commencement documentation, and of course the electrician.... I've heard horror stories and know this went great. We had our first pool party and are extremely happy."

"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!"

"Initial response to my quote request was quick. There was a lot of back & forth on the pricing but we were happy with $6,000 for 2,317sf. Walls, trim, doors, removal of some wallpaper. He was available quickly and the days we wanted. House was empty because we hadn't yet moved in. Said it would take a week. After 5 days Bill said it was done. At the end of the 5th day my husband and I walked through (by ourselves) and took pics of dozens of small issues and several large issues. The damaged walls were not repaired well, there were paint splatters on stone and granite surfaces, a couple of places were not painted, 4 blinds were not rehung. Bill sent William out on day 6 and by early evening he was almost done painting and no cleaning had yet been completed. What William had redone looked good. We had to leave and as of this writing on day 6 we have not yet seen the finished product. Tomorrow I'm hoping most if not all the little blue pieces of tape we put up look much, much better. Bill assures me he will come back and make everything right. P.S. When Bill told us it was done the 1st time, I asked him "Does it look good?" He replied "Absolutely looks good,horrible question lol""

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.
