Protecting Your Drywall and Post-Removal Preparation
The most common concern homeowners have about wallpaper removal is damage to the underlying drywall. When wallpaper is removed improperly, it can tear the paper face of drywall, gouge the surface, or leave behind stubborn adhesive that interferes with painting or new wallpaper application. Our team uses controlled techniques to avoid these problems.
We begin by identifying the type of wallpaper and adhesive on your walls. Different materials require different removal approaches. Vinyl wallpaper, for example, often needs to be scored before removal solution can penetrate the adhesive layer. Older wallpapers may have multiple layers that need to be addressed individually. Our team adapts its approach to each situation.
After the wallpaper is removed, we focus on post-removal preparation. This includes removing all adhesive residue, repairing any minor drywall damage, and smoothing the surface. If you are planning to install new wallpaper, we apply an appropriate primer to ensure optimal adhesion. If you are switching to paint, we prepare the surface to accept paint evenly and without visible imperfections.
