"Remodeling an older home can be a headache, having little to no free time to commit to doing
the work myself I set out to find a quality company that could give me a quick turn around in time for the holiday season. 
With an imminent need to have my floors stripped and re-finished, wallpaper
removed as well as several rooms in need of painting I needed someone
that could offer me a fair price to do the whole job in a short time frame.
Elysium was incredible; an estimator came to house the same day as I called to
schedule a quote and began work the following week. Four rooms of removed
wallpaper borders, some drywall patching later and the topcoat was applied.
With the wall paper gone and the new paint on the walls, my house got a complete 
facelift. The crew that performed work on my house was respectful of
the project timeline and of our home and property. They held their word every
step of the way and the crew chief stayed in communication with me through out
the duration of the project. If you need a quick and professional turn around
Elysium has got skill and ability to take care of your project.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.
