Overview & Approach

Removing old wallpaper can be messy and frustrating, especially if the original drywall wasn't primed. We use gentle removal methods, thoroughly wash away residual paste, and restore drywall to a pristine paint-ready finish.

What This Service Involves

  • Protecting flooring and masking adjacent trim
  • Perforating vinyl top layers where necessary
  • Applying enzyme stripping solutions or controlled steaming
  • Gentle scraper removal to minimize drywall gouging
  • Complete paste wash and degumming
  • Skim coating, sanding, and primer application
Preparation & Finish Considerations

Residual paste left on walls will cause new paint to crackle and fail. We ensure all adhesive residue is completely neutralized and sealed with problem-surface primer.

Note: Project suitability, existing coatings, and necessary preparation are thoroughly assessed during your on-site estimate.

Common Projects We Handle

• Outdated 1980s-90s floral paper in bathrooms and kitchens
• Commercial vinyl wallcoverings in office suites
• Multi-layer wallpaper in historic homes
