Commonly Asked Questions About Wallpaper Removal

How much work is it to remove wallpaper?

Removing wallpaper can be a labor-intensive task, requiring several hours to several days, depending on the size of the area, the type of wallpaper, and the condition of the walls. The process typically involves scoring the wallpaper, applying a wallpaper remover or water, scraping off the paper, and then cleaning and preparing the walls for painting or re-papering.

Do professional painters remove wallpaper?

Yes, at ProTect Painters of West Richmond, we offer professional wallpaper removal services. We have the tools, experience, and expertise to efficiently remove wallpaper and prepare the walls for a new finish, ensuring a smooth and clean surface.

Is painting over wallpaper better than stripping?

While it may seem like a shortcut, painting over wallpaper is generally not recommended. The new paint may not stick well to the wallpaper, causing it to peel and crack later. Additionally, any imperfections or bumps in the wallpaper will show through the paint, creating an uneven and potentially unattractive finish. Painting over wallpaper could also trap existing mold or moisture problems beneath the surface, allowing them to grow undetected and worsen over time.

There are rare exceptions where painting over wallpaper might be acceptable, such as with a very thin, well-adhered wallpaper on a smooth surface.

How much should I pay for wallpaper removal?

At ProTect Painters of West Richmond, we know wallpaper removal can be a daunting task. Several factors affect the price, such as project size, wallpaper type, and wall surface.
