Why Hire a Wallpaper Removal Professional?

Wallpaper can be surprisingly stubborn, and removing it without the right tools or techniques often leads to uneven surfaces, gouged drywall, or lingering adhesive that interferes with repainting. Additionally, wallpaper removal can sometimes uncover dangerous substances, like asbestos or mold. Our team is trained to contain and handle these, so you stay healthy and your property stays safe.

Here’s why bringing in our pros is worth it:

• Experience with all wallpaper types
• Proper tools and methods
• Surface protection
• Training in handling hazardous materials

What might take a weekend on your own can be completed in a matter of hours by our trained crew.

What Are the Hazardous Material Risks of Wallpaper Removal?

Removing old wallpaper can expose serious hazardous materials. Many homes built before the 1980s used wallpaper adhesives or backing that contained asbestos or lead. When disturbed, these substances release toxic particles into the air, increasing the risk of respiratory issues, cancer, and neurological damage.

Mold can also be present behind wallpaper, especially in humid environments, and may cause allergic reactions or severe respiratory symptoms. Our team is trained to test for and handle these substances. If we spot an issue with your wallpaper, we’ll be able to act quickly to contain and remedy the situation.

Is It Necessary To Remove Residual Adhesive?

Removing the leftover adhesive is a critical step. If the sticky residue from the wallpaper is not cleaned off, it can cause problems when you try to paint, making the paint not stick properly or leaving an uneven, bumpy finish. We’ll take the time to scrub the walls carefully using warm water, gentle solvents, or specialized adhesive removers. This ensures that the surface is completely smooth and ready for any painting or decorating you’d like to do next.
