"Dave did a wonderful job with a difficult task. He arrived when he said he would, worked all day without a break & completed the wallpapering in a very short amount of time. He was very professional, friendly & clean. We would recommend him strongly & hire him again. The wallpaper looks great."

"It was very hard to find wallpaper installers in the Volusia county area - and the few who we did find, would not follow through with communication and/or appointments. I am so glad we found Lucas and his father of Kairos Wallpaper. Lucas maintained consistent communication and best of all, did excellent work in our home. They were also extremely polite and respectful and we greatly appreciate them taking the time to come all the way from Winter Garden to do our install! Iâ d absolutely recommend them."

"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."

"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!"

"True artist. Excellent craftsmanship. He removed my popcorn ceiling and finished it off flat. No texture. He did all the ceilings in my house. It turned out perfect. Very prompt and polite. Even touched up ther imperfections on the walls. No charge. Iâ m calling him back to do the tile in my kitchen and foyer."

"Jincy did an amazing job putting up wallpaper in our master bath. She was able to come over within days to provide a quote and let me know how much wallpaper to order. She even repaired some holes in our walls from ripping out the old vanity which saved lots of time. Our bathroom looks completely transformed and I am so happy with the job! Thank you Jincy!"

"Ali is AMAZING. This is my 5th renovation/ remodel project and she may be by favorite subcontractor.  <br /> The wallpaper was pretty expensive and Ali used up every usable inch of the paper and made it look perfect. She had higher expectations and appreciation of the finished project than I did. She was adamant that we get wallpaper behind the washer/dryer and she made is happen beautifully. She and her assistant installed the wallpaper is one day with no mess or fuss. Cost was reasonable and her quality superior. I would use again in a hear beat. <br />"

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.
