Wallpaper Removal: What It Involves & Costs
You're busy. Here is what actually matters, from our own job records - not marketing copy.
What removal really involves
- Score, soak, and strip - top layer first, adhesive layer second. Two different jobs.
- Adhesive residue washed completely: paint over glue and it cracks into alligator texture within months.
- Walls skim-coated where the paper tore the drywall face - common in homes where paper went straight onto unprimed board.
- Prime with the right sealer, then two finish coats.
The glue problem nobody mentions
Half our wallpaper calls are not about removing paper - they're about fixing walls where someone painted over residue glue or tore the drywall face getting paper off. That repair costs more than professional removal would have. If your paper went up before the walls were primed (most pre-1990 homes), assume the drywall face will need work.
What we'll tell you up front
- Multiple paper layers price differently than one - we check at the estimate.
- Paper over unprimed drywall may mean skim-coating whole walls; we'll know within the first hour and tell you immediately.
These lines come straight from our written estimates. Contractors who don't say them up front bill you for them later.
