"overall, Ok. but I think they should have removed my curtains or asked me to remove them as some paint got on them and I didn't notice it for a few days."

"I obtained 3 quotes for painting in my house which included removing old wallpaper in one room before painting and included included a bedroom, bath and hallway. Affordable Weaver is truly affordable. Their cost estimate was 40% less than the other 2 quotes. The team of 4 arrived promptly at 7:30 am and finished the job in 1 day. Very neat and clean with no paint drippings on my wood baseboards or floor. The owners are a pleasure to deal with and the painting crew took time to understand what color paint I needed in each room. Highly recommend!"

"We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Francisco and his crew are friendly, honest and easy to work with. They did an impeccable job of removing wallpaper, meticulously prepping walls and painting most of the rooms in our house. Francisco and his team show up on time and work quickly. They were also very accommodating with adding on a few extra walls and areas that needed attention. I will absolutely use them again. We could not be happier with the quality of New Era Pro Painters work. I cannot recommend this company highly enough!"

"John and his associates (Chrissy for online questions and scheduling, Matt with the actual paperhanging) were very professional and provided a fantastic finished product. I contacted them for an estimate and heard back the next morning. Chrissy was especially helpful on the back-end of the process, always getting back to my emails promptly. When I realized I needed more wallpaper, they were very flexible in keeping the originally scheduled date after the rest of the product arrived. John and Matt arrived within the provided time frame and completed the job in about 2.5 hours (they had allotted 3-4 just in case). They were nice to be around, complimented my choice of wallpaper, and even answered a couple questions I had about the trim. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in their service area and beyond. Forgot to mention that their website was easy to navigate and had fantastic photos in a gallery of their work. <br />"

"They were on time, efficient, and very professional. Drop cloths ensured no paint on the new floors or carpets. We had one issue with a door not the proper color. Bill had someone back the next day to make it right. Outstanding work at a fair price. I strongly recommend them for any painting needs!"

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Trenton, NJ

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.
