The most common mistake in DIY wallpaper removal is damaging the paper face of drywall, creating a rough, uneven surface that shows through any new finish. Our professionals use controlled moisture application, proper scoring techniques, and patience to separate wallpaper from walls without tearing into the drywall substrate. When damage does occur (often from previous amateur removal attempts), we repair and skim coat affected areas to restore a smooth surface.
Post-Removal Surface Preparation
Removing wallpaper is only half the job. The surface left behind must be properly prepared for whatever comes next. We remove all adhesive residue using appropriate solvents, sand any rough areas, fill imperfections, and apply primer suited to your next wall treatment. Whether you plan to install new wallpaper, paint, or apply a decorative finish, we ensure the surface is perfectly ready.
