Wallpaper Removal.
Old paper and adhesive off, walls repaired and ready for paint.
01 / Overview
Wallpaper Removal in Dayton.
Wallpaper that has been up for decades rarely comes off in one clean sheet. Getting it off without tearing up the wall underneath takes patience, and the leftover glue has to go too or it will show through new paint.
We take down old wallpaper and borders, repair the wall underneath and get it ready for paint, so the room goes straight from removal to a fresh color.
02 / What's included
- Removing wallpaper and borders
- Removing leftover adhesive
- Repairing torn drywall paper and gouges
- Skim coating rough areas when needed
- Priming and painting after removal
03 / How it works
Our process
- Estimate. We check the type of paper, how many layers there are and how the wall underneath is holding up.
- Protect. Floors and trim are covered, since removal is wet work.
- Remove. Paper is scored, softened and stripped, then the adhesive is washed off.
- Repair & prime. Damaged spots are patched and the wall is primed so paint goes on evenly.
What to expect
It is hard to know what is under old wallpaper until it comes off. Sometimes there is another layer, or the drywall was never primed. If we find something like that, we will tell you before doing extra work.
04 / FAQs
Wallpaper Removal FAQs.
Can you paint over wallpaper instead?
It is possible, but seams and edges can show through and peel later. Removing it usually gives a better and longer-lasting result.
What if the wall gets damaged during removal?
Some surface damage is common with old paper. We repair and prime it as part of getting the wall ready for paint.
Do you remove wallpaper borders too?
Yes. Borders come off the same way, and we prep the strip of wall they covered so it blends in.
