"Recommending THE PAINT CREW from Waterville for home painting. I have only used them for exterior (so far) but, based on their performance, will be contracting them to do my interior as well. These guys have HIGH integrity and know their stuff. From the moment they showed up to size up the job and pointed out details that I would not have known about, I knew they were a thorough operation. Their price was competitive; but what set them apart was their extreme patience with me as I changed my mind several times re colors. Their mantra was, "we want you to be happy". They repainted my shutters twice. I don't advocate torturing contractors this way, but truly, these guys worked with me to get exactly what I wanted, and were pleasant all the way through. The job was done in a timely manner, and I feel like they went above and beyond to make the job look great. They caulked, they sanded, they alerted us to a gas leak that we did not know about, they pointed out a defect in our (recent) roofing; they even painted the screws of the shutters to make sure everything matched. We are very happy with the company and the service they provided. I don't typically tip contractors, but I gave these guys a tip to show my appreciation for their very personal service and attention."

"Transformed my 1940s built former rental property bathroom to a sleek modern throne room. Materials and craftsmanship were top notch. Craftsmen were helpful with design choices when I was undecided."

My business covers many needs for my customers. I believe that if I could help you with all your needs, why try to remember which contractor did what? I have been in business for over 30 years so I keep myself well rounded. I talk to my customers personally and work on ever job. I do not expect to get paid until my work is done and my customer is happy, after all I'm working for you!

Extremely detail oriented, often doing more than is described in the estimate. I buy materials in smaller quantities as needed so not to over buy and waiste customers money. Estimates are free and extra charges are discussed with customer first before additional work is performed per customer approval. Owner and any crew are very respectful of customer and neighbors.\n\nI generally work within a 40 mile radius but can work outside of that area depending on the size of the job.

FAQs for wallcovering or wallpaper removal projects in Wauseon, OH

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.
