"Steve and his 2 man team showed up early and got the wallpaper removal done. I'm very pleased that Steve took my smaller project- 2 powder bath walls and 1 large wall in primary bedroom. I would strongly recommend the Wallpaper Removal Specialist! EV"

"Sarah was amazing! She is a true artist. Not only did she do a perfect job, she helped me figure out how much wallpaper I needed and what type to get. She is a pro for sure and I'm going to hire her again to do my dining room wall. "

"Don's crew are finishing up the painting of our home in Costa Mesa, in the flower streets neighborhood by South Coast Plaza. They covered the walls floors all the way out to their trucks. The quotes I got for this job was 1/3 of 2 other companies. These guys are pros. Great crew. Popcorn gone Wed. Today is Friday and they're painting the ceiling today. You won't need to get quotes from anyone else, believe me. I decided to check on Angi's list, and Don was the first to call, explained the whole process, and gave me the quote right then. No upsell, no bs ! Thanks Don seriously, your crew did a great job, and left zero mess! Outstanding job"

"Fantastic experience every step of the process. Nick promptly replied to my request for an estimate, once we decided to do the job, it was scheduled and completed in less than a week. He told me what time they would start and showed up right on time. They left the area very clean and when it was done it was perfect! Every person we dealt with was extremely courteous and helpful. We are so pleased with the end result and are planning to use them again very soon to paint another room. Highly recommend this company for wall repair and painting."

"Eder in his team are great. We secured three different bids and Eder's was fair (not the lowest) but he was open to negotiating and we came to a satisfactory agreement. Workers were on time, very professional and produced an excellent work product. Billing was prompt and accurate. Eder was immediately available even when out of country visiting family. I highly recommend."

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Walnut, CA

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.
