overage, which will be refunded to me....really nice). I also purchased some of the material from Chicagoland Remodeling directly like: faucets, bathroom accessories, some of the tiles, wallpaper, vanity & quartz-they really gave me a good deal what let me to save money. Izabela was my primary contact throughout the 3 week process and was very consistent in emailing me and keeping me up to date and/or just there to answer questions, etc. She was always professional and very available. Jack was my carpenter/plumber and electrician all in one! From day one we hit it off perfectly. He and crew was always there on time, worked many long days. Every single day he would put down rug coverings and by the time he left you would never guess there was any construction going on at the house! On days they may have been running late Izabela or Wally always let me know. Wally and Izabela made GREAT design suggestions for laying out the tile and best use of the space...many things I would never have thought of and I was extremely grateful that they took the time to walk me through everything. My bathroom look awesome. Wallpaper we chose was beautiful so I wanted to be sure that it will be install in the right way. Voytek did an excellent job, wallpaper looks like one big pc without visible seams. I already recommend CR to few of my friends who also wants to install wallpaper. I need to mentioned that the same wallpaper at the Merchandise Mart was 40% more expensive than what I paid ordering thru CR. That?s a lot of savings. I will not tell a lot about roofing project (roof is roof ;-), so far so good no leaks), all workers are very hard working to make my house looks good. Roofers cleaned up all debris as well as removed nails form our yard. They did our roof with total tear off and installation in 1 day-amazing. I would use them anytime. Right now I am planning my next project to hire them?."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/elmwood-park/chicagoland-remodeling-inc-reviews-440818.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"FRANZWA DECORATING","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Kay W."},"reviewBody":" We had put a liner over Paneling in the family in the early 90's and then put the textured wallpaper over that.

Chris said that he could make it look like there was no wallpaper under the paint?and he was right! The room is just gorgeous! You would never know that there is wallpaper under the paint. The room is prettier than I ever could have imagined. The corners are perfect, there are no stray paint marks anywhere, and Chris and his team were done in one workday. They moved and replaced all of my furniture and cleaned up perfectly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Chris and CY Painting for anything?they were absolutely wonderful to work with. And just one last side note: My screen door was damaged in a little accident with all of the comings and goings that day. Chris took the entire door with him to have the screen replaced for me at no charge. Pretty nice!

We were so pleased with the quality and service that we hired her for two other projects.

The last painter finishing up details alone was a bit stressed and was just a little careless in his clean up. Nothing that resulted in a problem for me.

We had an amazing experience with CertaPro of Palatine. They removed wallpaper and painted the rooms we wanted done. The end result was outstanding! Thanks CertaPro of Palatine.

He does a great job of consulting with you and trying to figure out what you want done. He had to remove the trim and some old wallpaper. He put in the new wainscoting and painted everything. He did such a great job, everything blends together and looks like it fits.

FAQs for wallpaper removal projects in Morton Grove, IL
Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.
Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.
In most cases, you cannot wallpaper over existing wallpaper. It’s possible to wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but vinyl-coated wallpaper is much more prevalent in homes, so you generally shouldn’t put new wallpaper over existing wallpaper. Adding a layer of wallpaper over vinyl-coated paper will lead to poor adhesion, leaving behind bubbles and imperfections in your wall. Plus, wallpapering over vinyl-coated wallpaper can lead to mold growth, which can be hazardous to your health. It’s usually best to hire a local wallpaper removal service to handle the task to avoid these issues.
The average cost to remove wallpaper is around $3 per square foot, but the total depends on the type of wallpaper, how easy it is to remove, and the size of the room. Most homeowners spend around $780per room for wallpaper removal, and prices typically fall between $200 and $2,000. Wallpaper removal is expensive because it tends to be a very time-consuming job, and it can sometimes take a full day or more for the work to complete.
The easiest way to remove wallpaper is to use a steamer. The hot steam will loosen the wallpaper paste and make peeling the wallpaper off in large sheets much easier. Unfortunately, steamers can create irreparable damage on your walls, so it’s not a good idea for DIYers to use steamers to remove wallpaper. Instead, hire a professional wallpaper remover to do the work for you. This method will not only speed up the process, but it will also ensure your walls will remain intact post-wallpapering.
