Wallpaper Removal

Old paper off, smooth walls ready to paint

What’s included

  • Score, steam and strip all layers
  • Remove old paste and adhesive residue
  • Repair any drywall damage underneath
  • Skim-coat and sand for a smooth surface
  • Prime walls ready for paint
  • Full clean-up of paper and debris

Wallpaper removal is one of those jobs that looks simple online and turns into a weekend nightmare in real life — torn drywall, glue everywhere, and walls that will not take paint. We do it the right way.

We score the paper, soften the adhesive with steam or solution, and strip every layer down cleanly. Then we wash off the leftover paste, repair any drywall the previous installer damaged, skim-coat and sand the walls smooth, and prime them so they are ready for a beautiful new paint finish.

Old paint over wallpaper?

If a previous owner painted directly over wallpaper, we can assess the best path — careful removal or a skim-and-smooth approach — and tell you honestly what will give the best result.

One crew, start to finish

Because we also paint, you get a seamless handoff from bare, smooth walls to a finished room with no gap between contractors.

Questions about wallpaper removal

Not with proper technique. We soften the adhesive and strip layers cleanly, then repair and skim any imperfections so the wall ends up smooth and paint-ready.

Once walls are stripped, cleaned, repaired and primed, yes u2014 and because we do both, it is one seamless project.

We remove them all. Multiple layers just take a bit more time; the process and the smooth end result are the same.
