Wallcovering or Wallpaper - Removal

Serving Archie, MO and surrounding areas

"I hired AW Painting for several projects inside my house. I had had water damage in the basement, so I needed the ceiling painted and several walls painted. I also wanted wallpaper stripped out of a guest bath and the walls painted, trim fixed, caulked and painted in my master bath, and an accent wall painted in the kitchen. First of all, Alvin gave me a very detailed, written quote, which I appreciated. He also helped me talk through the type of paint I wanted to use, colors that would look good, etc. After all that had been decided, Alvin began working. He is very meticulous and takes great pride in his work. He's extremely detail-oriented, and it's obvious his goal is to do the very best possible work for his client. For example, when doing my accent wall in the kitchen (which was a tomato red color), he felt that he needed to apply a third coat, even though I couldn't detect any imperfections after the second coat. The trim in my bathroom looks like new. I have no idea how he was able to transform it from the mess it was! I also was very appreciative of how neat Alvin was while he worked. He minimized the messes and was careful to clean up after he was done. I am very impressed with his work and will hire him again for my painting needs."

"Jim was very helpful and creative. He was willing to work with me to figure out how to solve the problems. I planned to tear the old floor out of the bathroom to keep costs down, but when I ran into trouble he helped me and even did some cutting so I could remove one of the layers of floor. He didn't charge me for it, he just jumped in and gave me a hand. He did that sort of thing the whole time he was there. If he saw me struggling with a project I was working on he would use his strength or expertise to get me through a rough spot. He worked fast and didn't feel like I had to watch over him. But when we went to discount stores to serch for materials he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. I was worried that he would feel I was wasting his time but he seemed to enjoy being there too. I paid for materials, his bid was just for labor but we went in his truck and he spent time with me picking out the materials and he hauled them back to the work site. In the end I gave him $25 more than he billed me for for all the extra help he gave me."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Stubborn adhesives, multiple layers, and drywall damage can complicate removal.

The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly.
