The most critical aspect of wallpaper removal is protecting the wall surface underneath. Drywall is particularly vulnerable to water damage during removal, and plaster can crack or crumble if handled too aggressively. Our team uses controlled steaming techniques and appropriate solvents that soften adhesive without saturating the wall substrate.
We take our time with removal, working methodically to ensure that every strip comes off cleanly without pulling away drywall paper or plaster. This careful approach may take longer than aggressive methods, but it saves significant time and money on wall repairs.
Post-Removal Surface Preparation
Removing wallpaper is only half the job. The wall surface left behind must be properly prepared for whatever comes next. We offer complete post-removal preparation, including adhesive removal, skim coating, sanding, and priming. When we are finished, your walls are ready for new wallpaper, paint, or any other finish you choose.
Types of Wallpaper We Remove
- Vinyl wallpaper: Often peels in sheets but leaves adhesive behind
- Paper wallpaper: Requires careful steaming to avoid tearing
- Fabric-backed wallpaper: May need scoring before steaming
- Multiple layers: We handle homes with two, three, or more layers of wallpaper
