Taking down old wallpaper is notorious for being a messy, frustrating job that can easily ruin your walls if you aren’t careful. We take a systematic, careful approach to make sure your drywall comes out looking brand new.
First, we figure out what we’re dealing with. Not all wallpaper is the same. We start by checking out the type of paper and the kind of glue used behind it. This helps us choose the exact right strategy—whether that means gentle steaming or a specific soaking solution—so the paper releases smoothly.
Next, we strip it away carefully. We don’t just grab a scraper and start hacking at your walls. Using professional tools and a lot of patience, we carefully peel back the layers. Our goal is to get the paper off cleanly without gouging, scratching, or tearing up the fragile drywall underneath.
Then, we tackle the sticky leftover glue. Getting the paper off is only half the battle. If you leave even a little bit of old adhesive behind, your new paint will eventually bubble, crack, and peel. We thoroughly wash down the bare walls to completely dissolve and wipe away every single trace of stubborn paste.
We repair and prep the bare walls. Even if the wallpaper came off perfectly, walls naturally have old nail holes, dents, or minor dings hiding behind the paper. We go over the entire surface with joint compound, patching up any imperfections and sanding everything down until it’s completely smooth and ready for a fresh coat of paint.
Finally, we double-check our work. Before we pack up our tools and leave, we do a thorough walk-through under good lighting. We want to make absolutely sure your walls are pristine, smooth, and 100% ready for whatever look you want to give them next.
