Protecting Your Drywall & Post-Removal Prep

Wallpaper removal is one of the most damage-prone home improvement tasks when done incorrectly. Aggressive scraping, excessive moisture, or the wrong chemicals can tear drywall paper, create gouges, and leave a surface that requires expensive repairs before new wallpaper or paint can be applied.

Drywall Protection Protocol

Our removal process begins with scoring the wallpaper to allow moisture penetration without over-saturating the drywall. We use professional-grade steamers and removal solutions calibrated for the specific wallpaper type and wall substrate — whether drywall, plaster, or skim-coated surfaces.

Post-Removal Wall Preparation

After stripping, we skim-coat any damaged areas, sand smooth, and apply a wallpaper primer or paint primer as required. The result is a wall that's genuinely ready for its next treatment — not just superficially clean. This is why our clients consistently choose us for both removal and new installation.

Pricing Factors

We don't publish flat rates because every project is unique. Pricing depends on:

  • Room size and number of walls
  • Wallpaper type and pattern complexity
  • Current wall condition and prep required
  • Accessibility and ceiling height

We provide free, detailed written estimates with no obligation. There are never any hidden fees.
