Our Step-by-Step Wallpaper Removal Process

  • Step 1 Initial Consultation & Inspection

    We start by visiting your property in Leopold to assess the type of wallpaper, wall condition, and adhesive used. This helps us tailor our removal method for best results.

  • Step 2 Protect Surrounding Areas

    Before any scraping begins, we cover floors, trims, switches, and furniture to prevent damage or mess. (No one wants paste in their power points—trust me.)

  • Step 3 Wallpaper Soaking & Softening

    We apply a biodegradable wallpaper remover or steam to loosen the glue. This step is crucial—rush it, and you risk tearing the plaster beneath.

  • Step 4 Careful Manual Removal

    Using wide scrapers and patient hands, our crew removes the wallpaper layer by layer. Painful? Sometimes. Worth it? Always.

  • Step 5 Residue & Adhesive Cleanup

    We don’t leave sticky walls behind. We scrub down surfaces to eliminate any lingering glue, leaving a clean surface ready for painting.

  • Step 6 Wall Preparation for Painting

    Minor imperfections are patched, sanded, and primed. If you’re moving on to painting (and we hope you are), this step saves time and money later on.

  • Step 7 Final Walkthrough & Advice

    We walk through the completed job with you, answer questions, and provide next-step recommendations—whether you're repainting or re-wallpapering.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Wallpaper Removal Leopold

We have extensive experience in tackling the unique challenges older homes present, including intricate trim and potential lead-based paint.
The frequency of repainting depends on factors like exposure to elements, industry standards, and daily wear and tear.
In most cases, you can paint directly over existing paint, provided the surface is in good condition. We’ll inspect the walls for peeling, cracks, or other damage and perform necessary preparation before applying a fresh coat.
Preparation includes cleaning, repairing surfaces, scraping loose paint, priming, and protecting non-paintable areas.
Most graffiti can be fully removed, especially if treated early. Some older or deeply stained surfaces may require paint-over solutions or minor restoration.
Ideally, we schedule exterior painting in milder, drier conditions to allow for proper curing. We’ll advise on the best time of year for your project.
While DIY painting may seem cost-effective, professional painters ensure a high-quality finish, efficiency, and durability.
