Wallpaper Removal
Having been in business for over 25 years, we are familiar with wallpaper that is faded, peeling, old, cracking or simply needs a new look. Removing old wallpaper can be a daunting task if the original application was not completed properly. Give us a call for a free estimate so we can determine the most cost effective way of removing that old wallpaper and provide you with various painting and new wallpaper options.
Once the original wallpaper is removed, often applying a fresh coat of paint can make an old dark room look new again! Even though it’s a tedious and messy job, wallpaper removal can be a DIY (do it yourself) project if you know the right procedure to follow. Prepping the site is the most important aspect whether a new paint or wallpaper is applied.
On the other hand, if you don’t have the know how and most of all, the patience to remove wallpaper, you risk damaging your walls and dealing with unnecessary / time consuming repairs.

Our Process:
1. Large furniture is moved to the center of the room and covered with protective plastic.

From start to finish, we respect your space and it’s belongings.
2. Our trained professionals wet the surface of each wall with a mixture of hot water and an enzyme based wallpaper remover. The enzyme breaks down the starch in the adhesive, and allows the old paper to be removed. Once the wallpaper is off, we wash down the walls to remove paste. Walls are scraped, loose paint and/or drywall is removed and the surface is patched/ mudded to fix imperfections. Surface defects such as gouges, cracks, nail pops, and any kind surface imperfections have to be addressed appropriately to make sure your surfaces are primed for the next application of wallpaper or paint.
3. Prior to painting a previously wallpapered surface, our trained professionals will apply a coat of oil base sealer to seal any paste residue left behind after the walls were washed. This is to provide a proper substrate for the painting of these previously wallpapered surfaces. It eliminates any problems during and after the painting process. This is a critical step that is often missed by other companies. These defects will come through long after the contractors is gone, which is why all of our services come with a warranty. We encourage our clients to ask as about our warranty during the initial free consultation.
