Wallpaper Removal

Whether you're removing your old wallpaper to make way for a new one, or to paint your walls for a new aesthetic, you can count on our professional wallpaper removal service.

For those who are wondering why you can't just peel the wallpaper off, well, there's actually a type of easily removable wallpaper known as peel-and-stick wallpaper.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is also very easy to install. As you can probably guess from the name, you just peel off the backing to reveal the adhesive and stick it onto your walls.

And when it's time to remove it, the removal is just as easy. Just peel off a corner and pull at a 180-degree angle. That means you pull it towards you, pull it downwards (almost like folding it), and then pull downwards so that the peeled wallpaper is parallel to the wall.

However, there's a catch — peel and stick wallpaper, being so easy to remove, doesn't adhere strongly to your walls, which means over time, they'll slowly come off.

All wallpaper will eventually come off, but peel-and-stick wallpaper in particular will start coming off much sooner.

If you're using peel-and-stick wallpaper, feel free to perform the removal on your own. It should be pretty easy and straightforward.

However, if it's not peel-and-stick wallpaper, wallpaper removal should be left to the professionals.

Removing wallpaper is harder than it sounds. Unlike peel-and-stick wallpaper, when it comes to normal wallpaper, you can't just peel it off, or you could damage the drywall underneath and leave behind glue residue.

Also, the older your wallpaper is, the harder it is to remove, and the higher the chances of drywall damage and glue residue.

It's not out of the question to remove regular wallpaper on your own, but you're going to need various solutions and tools and know how to use them, which takes practice.

Furthermore, even when pros do it, there's usually at least some wall repair that needs to be done afterwards, so if you're doing it on your own, expect to have more damage and cleanup to be done.

So yes, you could DIY the removal and save money on wallpaper removal services. However, professionals will have better scraping techniques to reduce damage, as well as more experience handling tougher spots or older wallpaper.

If you're removing your own wallpaper, expect to have more torn drywall, more gouges and dents, more leftover adhesive, and more mess that you'll all have to remedy yourself.

As such, if you're someone who doesn't have a lot of patience, DIY wallpaper removal would be highly not recommended, especially if your wallpaper has been around for a decade or more.

It's a slow and tedious process, and trying to rush it will only create more problems for you.

Instead of giving yourself high blood pressure, you're better off paying for a proper wallpaper removal company to come and handle everything efficiently.

They'll ensure minimal damage to your walls and leave you with a clean space, relieving you of a ton of frustration, as well as freeing up your time for more productive activities.

Plus, wallpaper removal doesn't just entail removing the wallpaper.

As any proper company should, our wallpaper removal service also includes preparing your walls for repainting or re-wallpapering.

This means we don't just clean off any remaining adhesive, but we'll also sand the rough areas and even prime the walls on request.

This saves you valuable time and reduces the work that needs to be done for your repairing or re-wallpapering.
