The short version
Let us do the work for you
You love your house. Almost all of it. There’s just that one room with the wallpaper that hasn’t matched anything since the Reagan administration — the room nobody uses.
Wallpaper removal looks like a rainy-Saturday job right up until the paper comes off in postage stamps and takes the drywall face with it. We do the scoring, steaming, and lifting, then the part most people don’t plan for: cleaning off the old adhesive, skim-coating what the paper was hiding, and priming so the finish coat lands flat and even.

What’s included
Everything in a wallpaper removal job
Paper & backing removal
Scored, softened, and lifted — including the stubborn second and third layers.
Adhesive cleanup
Old paste fully removed. Leave it and your new paint will never stop showing it.
Skim coating & repair
Gouges, torn drywall face, and seam lines filled and sanded smooth.
Priming & sealing
The right primer for a stripped wall, so the finish coat doesn’t flash or peel.
Finish painting
Same crew, same visit — no waiting on a second contractor to finish the room.
Dust & mess control
Contained, covered, and cleaned daily. Wallpaper removal is messy; your house shouldn’t stay that way.

FAQ
Wallpaper removal questions, answered
Can you remove wallpaper without wrecking the drywall?
That’s the whole skill. Scoring, steaming or soaking, and lifting the paper without gouging the surface — then skim-coating and sealing whatever the paper was hiding.
What if the wallpaper was hung directly on unprimed drywall?
It happens a lot in 1980s homes, and it’s the case that punishes DIY attempts. We handle it with skim coating and a proper primer so the finished wall reads flat and even.
Do you paint the walls afterward?
Yes, and that’s the point of doing it together — the repair work and the finish coat are matched by the same crew, so you don’t end up with patched walls waiting on a second contractor.
How long does a room take?
Depends on how many layers there are and what’s underneath. We’ll test a corner during the estimate, which tells us most of what we need to know about the timeline.
Is it cheaper to just paint over the wallpaper?
Short-term, yes. But seams telegraph through, edges lift, and moisture gets trapped — and fixing that later costs more than removing the paper properly the first time.
