Wallpaper Removal Services

Our Process

1. Wall assessment: We examine the existing wallpaper type, adhesive method, and wall surface to determine the most effective removal approach.
2. Protection setup: We cover floors, furniture, and fixtures with protective materials to prevent water damage and debris.
3. Scoring (if needed): For vinyl-coated or painted-over wallpapers, we use a scoring tool to create small perforations that allow our removal solution to penetrate the adhesive layer.
4. Solution application: We apply our eco-friendly removal solution or use professional steam equipment to soften the adhesive bond between the wallpaper and wall surface.
5. Careful stripping: Our team methodically removes wallpaper in sections, working carefully to preserve the integrity of the drywall or plaster beneath.
6. Adhesive residue removal: After stripping, we clean all remaining adhesive residue from the wall surface using appropriate solvents and scraping techniques.
7. Wall repair and preparation: We fill any gouges, smooth rough areas, and prepare the surface for your next finish — whether that is new wallpaper, paint, or texture.

Pricing Factors

Every wallpaper project is unique, and pricing depends on several variables. We provide transparent, detailed quotes after assessing your specific needs. Common factors that influence cost include:

Timeline & Prep Checklist

Proper preparation ensures a smooth installation process. Here is what to expect and how to prepare:

• Clear furniture at least 3 feet from walls being papered
• Remove wall decorations, outlet covers, and switch plates
• Ensure adequate lighting and ventilation in the work area
• Typical single-room installation: 1–2 days
• Multi-room residential projects: 3–5 days
• Large commercial installations: 1–2 weeks depending on scope

Protecting Your Drywall During Removal

One of the biggest risks during wallpaper removal is drywall damage. Aggressive scraping, excessive moisture, or improper technique can gouge, tear, or delaminate the paper face of drywall, creating costly repair needs. Our team uses controlled moisture application and professional-grade scrapers designed to separate wallpaper from the wall surface without penetrating the drywall face. For walls with multiple layers of wallpaper or areas where previous removal attempts have caused damage, we perform targeted repairs before preparing the surface for its new finish.

Post-Removal Surface Preparation

Removing wallpaper is only half the job. The wall surface left behind often has adhesive residue, minor imperfections, and areas that need attention before any new finish can be applied. Our post-removal preparation includes thorough washing to remove all adhesive traces, sanding to smooth any rough spots, filling holes and cracks with joint compound, and applying the appropriate primer for your next wall treatment. Whether you plan to install new wallpaper or switch to paint, we ensure the surface is perfectly prepared for a professional result.
