We’re sure you’ve heard many wallpaper horror stories! Or maybe you’ve attempted wallpaper removal yourself? If you weren’t able to finish it’s not your fault. We get a lot of calls from people who are frustrated with their wallpaper. Many wallpaper installers, professional or do-it-yourselfers, hang wallpaper onto walls that have been painted with ordinary interior latex paints. These surfaces are not suitable for wallpaper adhesion without some sort of primer or sizing.
Latex paint is commonly in contact with the wet wallpaper paste for a day or more during the drying process. During this time the latex paint loses its integrity and softens into a rubbery film. This softening can destroy the surface and wreak havoc with the wallpaper installation because every good installation requires a sound, hard surface to hang on. Even worse, a very porous latex flat or matte can allow paste to travel all the way into the paper facing of the sheetrock making later wallpaper removal more difficult.
Over the last 30 years, we have become experts in removing wallpapers of all
types. It doesn’t matter if the walls weren’t primed properly or if there is more than one layer of wallpaper to remove or what type of glue was used or what type of wallpaper. We have successfully removed them all.
Improper wallpaper installations are at high risk for causing a lot of drywall damage during the wallpaper removal process. We are also experts in repairing any wall damage caused by the removal. Your walls will look brand new when we are done.
We also remove old paneling and large mirrors. Both can leave a damaged surface, but no worries, we can repair that too!
