Removing wallpaper can be a frustrating, messy, and time-consuming process if you try to do it yourself. Improper removal techniques can lead to damaged walls, lingering adhesive, and uneven surfaces, not to mention hours of wasted effort. Our professional wallpaper removal services are designed to handle every step, so you don’t have to worry. From the initial inspection to the final cleanup, we work efficiently to leave your walls in pristine condition. Removing wallpaper is just the beginning—our expertise ensures a flawless finish whether you’re painting or applying new wallpaper.
How Do We Remove Wallpaper?
Our meticulously designed process ensures your walls receive the care and attention they deserve. From start to finish, each step is completed with precision, including detailed surface preparation, careful application techniques, and thorough cleanup. We take extra measures to protect your space, ensuring no detail is overlooked, and prepare your walls perfectly for their next transformation, whether it’s a fresh coat of paint or a completely new design.
Inspecting the Condition of Your Wallpaper
Before we begin, we assess your wallpaper to determine the best removal technique. Factors like the wallpaper’s type, age, and how it was applied influence our approach. For example, pre-pasted wallpaper requires a different method than older, glued varieties. This step is vital to avoid unnecessary damage to your drywall or plaster.
Removing the Paper
Once we understand the condition, we use specialized tools and techniques to remove your wallpaper efficiently. Whether it involves steaming, stripping, or peeling, each layer is carefully handled to preserve the integrity of your walls. Then, we carefully address any leftover adhesive. Our residential wallpaper adhesive removal methods tackle even the most stubborn glue.
Repairing the Walls
With the wallpaper gone, we inspect the bare walls for damage. Poor DIY attempts or years of adhesive can leave dents, scratches, or holes. Our team repairs and smooths these areas to ensure a clean, uniform surface.
Painting or Installing New Wallpaper
Now the fun begins! Whether you’ve chosen to repaint or install new wallpaper, properly prepped walls make all the difference. Our seamless transition from wallpaper removers to professional painters allows us to deliver stunning results. We will help bring your vision to life while ensuring durability and style.
Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
When the job is done, we don’t leave a mess behind. We clean up thoroughly, leaving your space neat, dust-free, and ready to enjoy. Before we wrap up, we’ll complete a final walkthrough to ensure every expectation is met—your satisfaction is our priority.
The Risks of DIY Wallpaper Removal
Wallpaper removal might seem like an easy DIY project, but without the right tools, techniques, or experience, it can lead to costly mistakes. Aggressive scraping can damage drywall or plaster, requiring expensive repairs, while leftover adhesive can prevent new wallpaper or paint from adhering properly, resulting in uneven finishes or peeling. DIY methods also tend to take longer and often lead to subpar results, ultimately requiring professional help. Save time, effort, and stress by trusting our experienced team. Our residential service team ensure a smooth, damage-free process and professional-grade results, so you can enjoy a flawless finish every time.
Can I Install Wallpaper Over My Old Wallpaper?
While it’s tempting to layer new wallpaper over the old, it’s not a good idea. Doing so can cause bubbling, peeling, and uneven surfaces as the new adhesive interacts with the old. At Five Star Painting of Bend, we strongly recommend removing the existing wallpaper before applying a fresh design. It’s the only way to ensure a smooth finish that lasts. However, we understand every project is unique. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your options and make recommendations tailored to your space.
