Protecting Your Drywall During Removal
The primary concern during wallpaper removal is preserving the integrity of the wall surface beneath. Our approach prioritizes wall protection at every step:
- Assessment of wallpaper type and adhesive to determine the safest removal method
- Controlled moisture application that softens adhesive without over-saturating drywall
- Professional scoring tools that penetrate wallpaper without damaging the wall surface
- Enzyme-based removal solutions that dissolve adhesive without harsh chemicals
- Careful scraping techniques using proper tools at correct angles
- Immediate treatment of any minor surface damage during the process
Our Removal Process
Assessment
We identify the wallpaper type, adhesive used, and wall surface condition to plan the optimal removal approach.
Protection
Floors, trim, and fixtures are covered with protective materials to prevent damage from moisture and debris.
Scoring & Softening
Wallpaper is scored and treated with removal solution to loosen the adhesive bond.
Careful Removal
Wallpaper is stripped in sections using professional techniques that minimize wall surface impact.
Adhesive Cleanup
All remaining adhesive residue is thoroughly removed to create a clean surface.
Surface Preparation
Walls are smoothed, repaired if needed, and primed for painting or new wallpaper installation.
Post-Removal Surface Preparation
Wallpaper removal is only half the job. What matters equally is the condition of your walls after the old covering is gone. Our service includes complete post-removal preparation that leaves your walls ready for their next treatment, whether that is fresh paint or new wallpaper.
We fill any minor imperfections, sand rough areas smooth, and apply appropriate primer to seal the surface. If you are planning new wallpaper installation, we ensure the walls meet the specific preparation requirements of your chosen material. This comprehensive approach means you will not need to hire a separate contractor to prep your walls after removal.
