Here the latest Angie’s list review:
The project went very, very well. Michael gave me an estimate of 4 days to do the work and made sure the work was indeed completed in 4 days, at the price initially quoted. Paper was completely removed, walls cleaned (all glue gone) and initial spackle work on the wall provided as well. Michael kept the muss and disruption to an absolute minimum. At the end of each work day, all the ladders, tools and supplies were neatly and unobtrusively stored. floors swept and work areas cleaned Arrival for work in the morning, and lunch breaks all occurred with perfect punctuality. Michael often stayed later than quitting time to assure the 4 day contract term was met, not just met, but met to his perfectionist standard. Micheal is a very pleasant person, easy to deal with, knowledgeable and highly adept at many techniques of wall paper removal. My hopes of having so much dated wall paper removed quickly and thoroughly were completely fulfilled in this contract with Totally Off the Wall. He completely deserves my A rating. I would not hesitate to give Michael and his firm the highest recommendation.
“I found and contacted Michael from Totally Off the Wall for wallpaper removal vis his website after a Google search. I’m a snowbird and I had tried myself to remove the wallpaper with no success. In November, I decided to see if I could find someone both capable and reliable to do the job! Let me tell you, Michael is the man you can count on not only for the task at hand but also being that I was not even in the state. I arranged for him to access my home and without even signing a contract, he went in and tested every single wall to make certain he was 1)able to complete the project and 2) give me the correct quote with no surprises. Michael sent me picture updates from the very beginning of the quoting stage all the way until the completion of the project. He was spot on about the time and amount it took to get the work completed. He also made sure that I had reassurance along the way, as I was in the Northeast for the entire project. I recommended him for anyone looking for a miracle in his work and even from a remote location as in my case. I’m extremely happy with the outcome and even more happy that I was able to get a head start on renovation work ahead of coming down for the winter. Now I get to enjoy my time rather than dealing with a house torn apart while I’m staying there. You won’t regret working with Michael!”

Before writing this, I asked my husband what he thought of your work, and he said, “neat, efficient and pleasant”.
Your team has been terrific! This is not an easy job, with 3,000+ square feet of wallpaper everywhere– on the ceilings, in indentations in the moldings; there isn’t a place that wasn’t wallpapered. It is transformed by the removal, and is ready to be painted with minimal effort!
Thank you and Susan and your staff for a great job!

As a Manager on Longboat Key, I sent out an S.O.S. to all other managers. Within 5 minutes, Michael’s name came up with rave reviews. It is indeed a pleasure to call and get a human voice along with customer awareness. I know this will be the beginning of a long-term relationship.
Nancy Longboat Key
Michael did an outstanding job. He is very professional and his workmanship is of the highest quality.
His respect for the customer’s property shows in the extra care he takes in preparing before removing wallpaper.
Michael came highly recommended to me by two friends, and I later learned that a third friend had used his services and was also delighted with his work.
My satisfaction is 100% and I will definitely call on Michael again.

To Whom It May Concern,
This is to acknowledge that Mr. Michael Haluska has removed wallpaper from my premises in a very professional manner. He worked in a clean and efficient way, cleaned up after the job was completed, replaced light and window fixtures in their original position and left me well pleased with the results.
Ich bin sehr beeindruckt von dieser zufriedenstellenden Arbeit.
I can recommend his work to anyone needing such services.
Very truly yours,
Inge Sarasota
Dear Michael Haluska,
Both Patricia and I would like to take this opportunity to convey our thanks for a job well done. You went beyond just removing wallpaper, which in itself was a very difficult job – more than one layer.
You also corrected a mildew problem, repaired the surfaces of the wall, cleaned up the mess, protected surfaces in the surrounding areas, and on and on.
It is very hard to find tradesmen that take pride in workmanship and are dedicated to excellence, like yourself.
Both Patricia and myself thank you.
John & Patricia Bradenton
Michael was prompt, professional, neat and did a great job removing very difficult wallpaper. No complaints! Great job!
Fixed price of $1.00 per square foot compared favorably with the $65.00 per hour I was also quoted from another person.
Beth McLean, VA
Michael,
In all my years of being a landlord of multiple properties, I have “NEVER” dealt with a more reliable, efficient, dedicated perfectionist as you.
Your work and work ethic are off the chart. You truly are one in a million. I know because I am a realtor and as previously mentioned, a landlord. I deal with workers, service people and contractors. You are just the absolute greatest worker I have Ever seen!
Thank you for a fantastic job and for being so NEAT.
Jane Sarasota
“A Gold Medal Job. (Michael was) extremely conscientious (in) doing everything to the highest standard. We had a challenging home of wallpapers and borders to remove and you did an outstanding job. (Michael was) polite, well-mannered, meticulous to detail and respectful to the property. The clean up… was also worthy of praise.”
Thank you
Patricia and Jerry B. Port Charlotte
“Five-Star job in every way and it was a delight having you around! Feel free to use us as a reference anytime…”
Karen W. Myakka
“Michael was referred to us from a Design Center out of Port Charlotte. We had used two other wallpaper tear-down people prior to Michael and we had no luck with them and the job they had done was (of) poor quality. Michael came in and we were so pleased. He was very courteous, honest, and a very clean worker. We were truly amazed at his workmanship and his professionalism. We have already told many people of his work. He is certainly building a great reputation for himself and his work.”
Thank you Michael

Michael,
You are correct you have a “fantastic crew”. We are very pleased with the outcome. Michael Kemp, our building maintenance manager was simply amazed when he came into the building this morning. His comment was, “I did not believe that you all were going to be open on Tuesday” because of the work that was being done, removal of the wall paper and the condition of the walls and floors on Monday.” To all of our amazement when we came in this morning; if the wallpaper had not been gone we never would have known that you were here over the weekend.
We were very satisfied with the professional way that you did the job.
Thank you.
Deloris Johnson, Center Manager, Bradenton
Michael,
You are by far the most competent and clean worker I have ever had in my home since moving to Florida.
It will be easy getting my rooms back to normal with your wonderful work ethic.
Thank you for making the job such a pleasant and speedy experience.
Beverly Sarasota
“Michael was referred to us from our painter who did not want to remove the wallpaper. (When) we had wallpaper removed from our house in Minnesota, it was a messy job and the painters had to patch a lot of nicks in the walls. Michael has removed the paper and left the walls in perfect order – with no mess ! The room has been spotless every time that I have gone in to check on the progress. He definitely knows how to do this and I highly recommend him.”
Helen C. Bird Key
“Oh, what a mess we had. Wallpaper was in rooms for 20 years – faded and cracked. Just a mess! Michael gave us a fair estimate on 5 rooms. Came in for 4 days and did a very professional job. Kind and courteous. (He) left the rooms cleaner than when he started. He takes pride in his work. What a Blessing!
Thanks so much!”
Michael and Lynnette M. Sarasota
Michael did a phenomenal job. He showed up in the midst of a hurricane so that he could get the job done on schedule!
Not only does he do beautiful work, but is extremely tidy and a pleasure to have around.
I can’t recommend him any higher! He is a genius!
Isabel Sarasota
It is with pleasure and satisfaction that I write this note to recommend Michael to anyone with a wallpaper removal project.
Our paper was old, of two types and had been painted-over.
He did an amazing job in a prompt and efficient manner and his promise of a neat and clean job was true.
Thank you Michael
Izzie and Bill Longboat Key
Michael did a great job removing the wallpaper from two rooms.
He was there on time and completed his work on schedule.
He was very professional and protected all of the molding and other items in the room and left the rooms as he found them.
Great Job!
Alan Sarasota
Showed up as promised and worked very hard to complete on time. Cleaned up nicely.
Burt and Sandy F. The Landings Sarasota
Our renovation is overwhelming at times and Michael is the anchor that keeps us sane! He is one-of-a-kind… conscientious, hardworking, incredibly neat and it is a pleasure doing business with him.
I highly recommend Michael because our wallpaper was no easy feat to remove.
When giving the estimate, he never saw anything as an obstacle and that was so encouraging!
John and Janice Longboat Key
Dear Michael,
“I cannot tell you how happy you have made us.
We had just about given up on getting this wallpaper down from this bedroom and hall. Two other paper strippers and our painter started and then gave up. When you came in the room looked like a tenement with paper coming off the walls. I found you to be a hard working and upbeat person in spite of the extremely difficult job. You delivered a room… “ready-to-paint”… as you promised. Most of all I appreciated your positive attitude even at 10 PM. I would not hesitate to recommend you. You are a special person.”
Ruth and Stan K., D. MD. Longboat Key
Michael,
We were very pleased with you and your team.
The workmanship was excellent and your men were careful, courteous, clean and efficient.
We recommend your firm highly.

Michael–
After previous unsuccessful attempts to remove our wallpaper, Michael and his team came through and with extraordinary care accomplished what others were unable to do.
Michael and his team worked masterfully on a challenging task. Our (Medical) Clinic had years of damage and required unbelievable amounts of cleaning. The work they accomplished was miraculous.
The pride and extreme professionalism shows in their work. I strongly recommend Michael to anyone seeking results and a professional crew.
Sincerely,

After many hours of trying to remove wallpaper from my Master Bathroom, I contacted Totally Off the Wall wallpaper removal service. I am pleased to report that they have removed the paper and have left the walls in ready condition for paint.
I lived in a 130-year-old farmhouse and removed layers and layers of wallpaper in that home. I had some experience in removing wallpaper, but I could not remove the paper from my bathroom.
Michael discovered that the previous wallpaper was foil and the backing had not been removed. New wallpaper was applied over the old backing. On the ceiling, some areas were painted-over wallpaper and skim-coated, making the removal extremely difficult.
Michael worked diligently to remove the paper in a timely manner. I cannot express how difficult the wallpaper removal was on the ceilings. He protected the area very well and left the job site clean.
I highly recommend Totally Off the Wall for your wallpaper removal.

“In the winter of 2003, I had to remove wallpaper from a bathroom we were renovating. I rented a professional steamer, a professional spiked roller and with the use of Dif, I removed the wallpaper from the walls. However, there remained a tissue-like film on the walls. My contractor bet me that he could remove the film. He rented the professional steamer, and after 40 minutes, he lost the bet. My wife and I spent 4 hours working together and only managed to get one small area of one wall partially clean.
Our painter recommended Totally Off the Wall !! and we called and hired Michael Haluska. Today we have paperless walls ready to be painted in the bathroom. It was a miracle, brought about by a lot of hard work and effort on Michael’s part. He was most professional, and very tidy in his work.”

“We hired another person to strip our wallpaper. This turned out to be a disaster and Michael Haluska came to the rescue. He repaired the problems of the first contractor and completed the job in excellent condition. We would certainly come to Michael FIRST in the future.”

Mike ––
I had a real job, lots of old paper. 4 other people would not do it!
Mike came in and worked hard to make it look great. We had lots of fun doing it.
I recommend him highly.

Michael saved the day for us!
After an ‘(in)expert’ failed in removing our paper, Michael brought his talents to the rescue and did an immaculate job.
We most highly endorse his work.

“Michael was referred to us from our painter who did not want to remove the wallpaper. (When) we had wallpaper removed from our house in Minnesota, it was a messy job and the painters had to patch a lot of nicks in the walls. Michael has removed the paper and left the walls in perfect order – with no mess! The room has been spotless every time that I have gone in to check on the progress. He definitely knows how to do this and I highly recommend him.”

Michael–
After previous unsuccessful attempts to remove our wallpaper, Michael and his team came through and with extraordinary care accomplished what others were unable to do.
Michael and his team worked masterfully on a challenging task. Our (Medical) Clinic had years of damage and required unbelievable amounts of cleaning. The work they accomplished was miraculous.
The pride and extreme professionalism shows in their work. I strongly recommend Michael to anyone seeking results and a professional crew.
Sincerely,

“Michael was referred to us from a Design Center out of Port Charlotte. We had used two other wallpaper tear-down people prior to Michael and we had no luck with them and the job they had done was (of) poor quality. Michael came in and we were so pleased. He was very courteous, honest, and a very clean worker. We were truly amazed at his workmanship and his professionalism. We have already told many people of his work. He is certainly building a great reputation for himself and his work.”
Thank you Michael

Michael,
A recent client of mine in Bradenton thought that your price was high, (then) realized that this was not so after employing another person to remove wallpaper who took an age to do so.
That client is now happy to have used you on their project.

Dear Michael,
“I cannot tell you how happy you have made us.
We had just about given up on getting this wallpaper down from this bedroom and hall. Two other paper strippers and our painter started and then gave up. When you came in the room looked like a tenement with paper coming off the walls. I found you to be a hard working and upbeat person in spite of the extremely difficult job. You delivered a room… “ready-to-paint”… as you promised. Most of all I appreciated your positive attitude even at 10 PM. I would not hesitate to recommend you. You are a special person.”

“I had a hard job. Others said it would be hard to save the walls. Michael came in and did an excellent job. Very professional, cleans up and maintains a nice job site.
A+++ highly recommend.”

Michael,
After 2 guys worked very hard on removing my wallpaper and I worked all morning – someone had the good sense to call you.
You arrived when you said you’d be here, gave me a price (it was very fair) and stayed ’til the job was done.
Best part – you were very neat!!
Thank you
Dorothy O Laurel Oaks
Michael,
Before writing this, I asked my husband what he thought of your work, and he said, “neat, efficient and pleasant”.
Your team has been terrific! This is not an easy job, with 3,000+ square feet of wallpaper everywhere– on the ceilings, in indentations in the moldings; there isn’t a place that wasn’t wallpapered. It is transformed by the removal, and is ready to be painted with minimal effort!
Thank you and Susan and your staff for a great job!

Michael,
You are correct you have a “fantastic crew”. We are very pleased with the outcome. Michael Kemp, our building maintenance manager was simply amazed when he came into the building this morning. His comment was, “I did not believe that you all were going to be open on Tuesday” because of the work that was being done, removal of the wall paper and the condition of the walls and floors on Monday.” To all of our amazement when we came in this morning; if the wallpaper had not been gone we never would have known that you were here over the weekend.
We were very satisfied with the professional way that you did the job.
Thank you.
Deloris Johnson, Center Manager, Bradenton
Michael,
Your professionalism is outstanding and in the two days you have been in my home I realize that you have passed that trait on to both of your crew, Robert and Ray.
Their attention to detail, their hard work, their politeness and general good spirits have turned my task into a pleasure.
Thanks again so much. You did exactly as promised and both my husband and I are thrilled.
Thank you.

Michael,

Bob L. Tanglewood (Sarasota)
Michael did an outstanding job. He is very professional and his workmanship is of the highest quality. His respect for the customer’s property shows in the extra care he takes in preparing before removing wallpaper.
Michael came highly recommended to me by two friends, and I later learned that a third friend had used his services and was also delighted with his work.
My satisfaction is 100% and I will definitely call on Michael again.

To Whom It May Concern,
This is to acknowledge that Mr. Michael Haluska has removed wallpaper from my premises in a very professional manner. He worked in a clean and efficient way, cleaned up after the job was completed, replaced light and window fixtures in their original position and left me well pleased with the results.
Ich bin sehr beeindruckt von dieser zufriedenstellenden Arbeit.
I can recommend his work to anyone needing such services.
Very truly yours,
Inge Sarasota
Michael was prompt, professional, neat and did a great job removing very difficult wallpaper. No complaints! Great job! Fixed price of $1.00 per square foot compared favorably with the $65.00 per hour I was also quoted from another person.

Michael did a phenomenal job. He showed up in the midst of a hurricane so that he could get the job done on schedule!
Not only does he do beautiful work, but is extremely tidy and a pleasure to have around.
I can’t recommend him any higher! He is a genius!
Isabel Sarasota
“Michael did a great job taking paper off a bathroom wall that seemed as though it was permanently bonded! He is extremely neat, professional and obviously knows how to get paper ‘Totally Off the Wall’.”
Dianne M. Sarasota
“Michael has worked in a very professional manner. His work is very neat and he strives to do his job with a pleasant attitude. I have had many workers overseas in Morocco, Japan, and Germany work for me, but Michael is exceptional in his dedication to his job.”
Mrs. T. Sarasota
I couldn’t be happier with the job that Michael did for us!
It was a real challenge and Michael was heroic in his efforts to complete a very complicated job.
Thank you!

“In the winter of 2003, I had to remove wallpaper from a bathroom we were renovating. I rented a professional steamer, a professional spiked roller and with the use of Dif, I removed the wallpaper from the walls. However, there remained a tissue-like film on the walls. My contractor bet me that he could remove the film. He rented the professional steamer, and after 40 minutes, he lost the bet. My wife and I spent 4 hours working together and only managed to get one small area of one wall partially clean.
Our painter recommended Totally Off the Wall !! and we called and hired Michael Haluska. Today we have paperless walls ready to be painted in the bathroom. It was a miracle, brought about by a lot of hard work and effort on Michael’s part. He was most professional, and very tidy in his work.”
