Home › Wallpaper Removal
Removal is the job people try themselves first and call us about second. The paper comes off in postage stamps, the drywall face tears, and now there is a skim-coat job on top of the original project.
Wallpaper hung straight onto unprimed drywall bonds to the paper face of the board. Pull hard and the face comes with it. Once that happens the wall needs skimming and sanding before anything can go back on it — which is a bigger job than the removal was.
We test a small area first to find out what we are dealing with: what the paper is, what is under it, and whether it was primed. Then we score, soak and steam to the paper's tolerance, take the backing off with it, and wash the adhesive residue off rather than leaving it to ghost through the next finish.
Torn face paper and gouges get patched and skimmed, walls sanded flat and primed. You end up with a wall that is genuinely ready to paint or re-paper, not one that needs another trade to fix first.
