Call (725) 900-7673Our Installation Process
We follow a proven, step-by-step process to ensure every wallpaper project meets our high standards of quality and craftsmanship.
Wallpaper Assessment
We evaluate the type of wallpaper, how it was installed, the number of layers, and the condition of the wall beneath. This determines the best removal approach.
Area Protection
We protect your floors, furniture, and fixtures with drop cloths and plastic sheeting before beginning any removal work.
Scoring and Softening
Depending on the wallpaper type, we score the surface and apply a professional-grade removal solution that softens the adhesive for clean stripping.
Careful Removal
We methodically strip the wallpaper in sections, working carefully to avoid damaging the drywall paper or plaster surface beneath.
Adhesive Cleanup
After the wallpaper is removed, we thoroughly clean the wall surface to remove all remaining adhesive residue, ensuring a smooth, clean base.
Surface Preparation
We assess the wall condition after removal and perform any necessary repairs, smoothing, or priming to prepare the surface for its next finish.

Contact UsMaterials and Surfaces We Work With
Different types of wallpaper require different removal approaches. Our team is experienced with all common wallpaper types and their specific removal requirements.
- Strippable Wallpaper: Modern strippable papers can often be peeled away from the wall in large sheets, making removal relatively straightforward.
- Peelable Wallpaper: The top decorative layer peels off, but the paper backing remains on the wall and must be separately removed.
- Traditional Pasted Wallpaper: Requires scoring, soaking with removal solution, and careful scraping to remove both the paper and adhesive.
- Vinyl Wallpaper: The vinyl layer is typically peeled off first, then the paper backing is soaked and scraped away.
- Painted-Over Wallpaper: One of the most challenging removal scenarios. Paint seals the wallpaper, preventing moisture from penetrating. Requires specialized techniques.
- Multiple Layers: Older homes sometimes have several layers of wallpaper applied over the years. Each layer must be removed individually.

Schedule a ConsultationProtecting Your Drywall During Removal
One of the biggest risks of wallpaper removal is damaging the drywall paper face beneath. When the drywall paper tears, it creates a rough, fuzzy surface that is difficult to paint or re-wallpaper without extensive repair. Our professional removal techniques are specifically designed to prevent this common problem.
We use the right combination of scoring depth, soaking time, and scraping technique for each specific wallpaper type. By allowing the removal solution adequate time to dissolve the adhesive, we can strip wallpaper cleanly without excessive force that would damage the drywall. For particularly stubborn adhesives, we use steam removal equipment that softens the bond without over-saturating the wall.

Call (725) 900-7673Post-Removal Wall Preparation
Removing the wallpaper is only half the job. What happens next is equally important for achieving a great final result, whether you plan to install new wallpaper, paint, or apply another finish.
After removal, we thoroughly clean the wall surface to eliminate all adhesive residue. We then assess the wall condition and recommend the appropriate level of preparation. Minor imperfections can often be addressed with light sanding and a coat of primer. More significant damage may require skim coating, which involves applying a thin layer of joint compound to create a perfectly smooth surface.
We also check for any moisture issues, mold, or structural concerns that may have been hidden behind the old wallpaper. If we discover any problems, we alert you immediately so they can be addressed before new finishes are applied.

While it is technically possible, we generally do not recommend it. Paint over wallpaper often leads to visible seams, bubbling, and peeling over time. Proper removal provides a much better foundation for any new finish.
Painted-over wallpaper is one of the most challenging removal scenarios. We use specialized scoring tools and steam equipment to penetrate the paint layer and soften the adhesive beneath. It requires patience and expertise but produces clean results.
