Why Hire a Professional for Wallpaper Stripping?

Many DIY enthusiasts underestimate the difficulty of removing wallpaper. Without the right equipment and experience, it is easy to gouge the drywall, resulting in costly repairs. Our professional service eliminates this risk, using proven methods to dissolve adhesives and lift paper gently from the surface.

  • Surface Protection: We know how to remove stubborn layers without tearing the paper facing of the drywall underneath.

  • Adhesive Removal: We don’t just pull the paper; we thoroughly wash and scrub the walls to remove all traces of glue.

  • Time Efficiency: What might take you weekends of frustration, our crew can complete in a fraction of the time.

  • Paint Preparation:We don’t leave the wall rough; we skim coat and sand if necessary to ensure a flawless finish for painting.

By choosing Precision Painting Experts, you avoid the mess and stress of a sticky job. We handle the cleanup and the prep work, ensuring that your room is transformed from outdated to outstanding.

Our Comprehensive Removal Solutions

We tackle all types of wall coverings, from standard paper to difficult vinyl and foil types. Our approach is tailored to the specific age and material of the wallpaper to ensure the best results. We assess the wall condition first to determine whether steaming, soaking, or dry stripping is the most effective method.

  1. Vinyl & Foil Removal: These non-porous materials require specialized perforation tools to allow our removal solutions to penetrate the adhesive.

  2. Standard Paper Stripping: We use eco-friendly enzymatic solutions that break down the paste, allowing sheets to slide off more easily.

  3. Grasscloth & Textured Paper: We carefully remove these delicate materials, which often leave behind significant residue that requires deep cleaning.

  4. Wall Restoration:Once the paper is gone, we switch modes to drywall repair, fixing any nicks or gouges to create a “Level 4” or “Level 5” smooth finish.

    Our goal is not just to take the paper down, but to give you a wall that looks like it was never wallpapered in the first place. We ensure that the surface is chemically neutral and smooth so that your new paint bonds perfectly.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Process

We follow a diligent process to protect your home and ensure a quality result.

Step 1: Room Preparation

  • We move furniture to the center of the room and cover floors with waterproof drop cloths to protect against water and sticky residue.

  • Electrical outlets and switches are masked off to prevent moisture intrusion.

Step 2: Perforation and Soaking

  • For non-porous papers, we lightly score the surface.

  • We apply a professional removal solution that reactivates and softens the old paste.

Step 3: Stripping and Scraping

  • Our technicians carefully scrape away the paper and the underlying backing material.

Step 4: Washing and Residue Removal

  • We wash the walls multiple times to ensure every bit of glue is gone—painting over glue causes paint to crack and peel later.

Step 5: Repair and Priming

  • We patch any imperfections and apply a specialized oil-based or shellac primer to seal the wall and lock down any remaining trace elements.

Not with our professional methods. We use safe tools and techniques to prevent tearing, and we repair any pre-existing damage.

Yes! Once the walls are prepped and primed, painting can begin right away.
