Decades-old wallpaper, stubborn adhesive, and the damaged drywall hiding underneath — all handled in one project that ends with smooth, freshly painted walls.
Same day response. No obligation.
Anyone can pull the top layer of vinyl. The real work is the backing paper, the adhesive residue, and the wall damage that shows up once everything is off. A complete removal includes washing, repairing, priming, and painting.
Most rooms go from dated wallpaper to smooth painted walls in one to two days — even with multiple layers.
A four step removal system that protects the drywall and ends with a flawless painted wall.
A test strip determines how many layers exist and how the paper is bonded. Floors, trim, and outlets are masked and protected before any stripping begins.
The vinyl face is peeled, then the backing is soaked with enzyme remover or steamed and scraped clean. Every square inch of adhesive is washed off the wall.
Torn paper facing, gouges, and old seam damage are skim coated and sanded. Badly damaged walls get a full skim coat for a like-new surface.
Walls are sealed with the right primer for the condition, then finished with two coats of premium paint. The wallpaper era is officially over.
From one accent wall to a whole house of 1980s vinyl, every removal gets the same careful process.
Most single rooms run $400 to $1,200 depending on the paper type, number of layers, and wall condition underneath. Painted-over wallpaper and multi-layer jobs cost more. Estimates are free and include the repaint price.
In rare cases where the paper is perfectly bonded, painting over is possible — but seams telegraph through and future removal becomes much harder. Removal is almost always the better long-term decision, and it is what gets recommended honestly during the estimate.
Careful soaking, steaming, and proper scraping protect the drywall. When previous DIY attempts or old adhesive have already damaged the surface, the wall is skim coated and sanded so the finished paint job shows none of it.
A typical room takes one to two days including wall repair, priming, and painting. Multi-layer or painted-over wallpaper can add a day. A firm timeline is provided with every quote.
