Wallpaper Removal FAQs

How much does wallpaper removal cost?

Pricing depends on wallpaper type, number of layers, wall condition, and room size. Simple paper is easier to remove than vinyl or painted-over wallpaper. We provide free estimates after assessing your specific situation.

Can you remove wallpaper without damaging walls?

Yes, our professional techniques minimize damage. However, some walls may have pre-existing issues that become visible after removal. We repair any damage as part of our service to leave walls smooth and ready.

How long does wallpaper removal take?

An average bedroom can be completed in 4-8 hours, depending on wallpaper type and condition. Larger rooms or difficult materials may take longer. We'll provide a timeline estimate during your consultation.

Do I need to remove furniture from the room?

Yes, rooms should be cleared of furniture when possible. If you can't move large furniture, we can work around it, but this may extend the project timeline.

Can you remove painted-over wallpaper?

Yes, though it's more challenging and time-consuming. We have specialized techniques for this scenario. The final result depends on how many paint layers exist and the condition of the underlying drywall.
