Wallpaper Removal

Wallpaper Removal done the way it should be

A lot of older homes around Arlington still have one or two rooms with wallpaper, sometimes several layers of it, sometimes painted over. Taking it off is slow work, and doing it fast is how walls get torn.

We score and soak the paper, remove it with the backing, wash off the glue residue, then repair any gouges or loose plaster. Walls get a primer made to seal leftover adhesive so the new paint does not crack or bubble.

Once the walls are ready, we paint the room in the same visit, so you are not left with bare walls waiting for another contractor.

What is included

  • Scoring, soaking and removal of paper and backing
  • Glue residue washed off the walls
  • Gouges, seams and loose plaster repaired
  • Skim coat on damaged areas when needed
  • Primer that seals leftover adhesive
  • Painting in the same visit

No torn drywall, no glue left behind, no bubbles under the new paint.
