Old wallpaper can hide damaged walls, uneven patches and adhesive residue that must be dealt with properly before repainting. We handle removal and repaint preparation with the end finish in mind.
Home / Wallpaper Removal and Prep
A quick strip is only part of the job. The wall beneath often needs cleaning, patching, sanding and priming before it is ready for paint. We plan the work as a preparation service, not just a removal visit.
It is common to uncover torn paper, old repairs, rough patches, stubborn paste and damaged skim coats once the covering comes off. These issues need to be resolved before fresh paint can look right.
Use the form below to tell us about your project and we will be in touch to discuss the rooms, prep needs and timing.
Once we know which rooms need attention, we can advise on preparation, suitable finishes and a practical way to schedule the work around your home.
Older properties often have multiple wallpaper layers, patched plaster and surfaces that need a gentler approach. We adjust the prep to the condition of the wall rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all process.
Once the wall is stripped, we smooth the surface as needed and prime appropriately so the repaint has a stable base. That helps avoid telegraphing old seams, patches or texture through the final coats.
Wallpaper removal is often part of a larger room refresh or move-in repaint. We can help sequence the work so the preparation supports the final decorating plan.
Tell us what type of room you are dealing with and whether you already know the condition of the walls underneath. We will help you judge the likely prep involved.
