Wallpaper Removal · North Indianapolis
Wallpaper Removal done the way it should be.
Clean walls underneath, ready for a fresh coat of paint.
Clean walls underneath, ready for a fresh coat of paint.
Old wallpaper and its adhesive residue are the single biggest reason a repaint over a former wallpapered wall goes wrong. We steam and score properly, strip paper and glue down to bare drywall or plaster, skim-coat where the surface was damaged in the process, and prime with a wallpaper-blocking primer before any paint goes on.
Painting directly over old wallpaper adhesive residue is a guaranteed callback — it telegraphs through the topcoat and can bubble later. We remove paper and glue completely, repair any drywall paper-facing damage that occurs during stripping, and use a dedicated primer sealer that locks down any remaining residue and gives the topcoat a clean, even surface to bond to.
Every bit of old adhesive removed, not painted over
A wall that's actually ready for paint, not just for wallpaper again

Get Your EstimateWe test-strip a section to understand the paper type, adhesive, and wall surface underneath before pricing the full room.
Paper and backing are steamed and scored for full removal, working carefully to avoid gouging the drywall face.
Remaining adhesive is fully removed, and any paper-facing tears in the drywall are skim-coated and sanded smooth.
A wallpaper-blocking primer sealer is applied so the wall is fully paint-ready with no residue bleed-through risk.

Some minor paper-facing damage is common, especially on older paper, and we repair and skim-coat it as part of the job — it's priced into the scope, not a surprise add-on.
We test-strip first to see how many layers are present and what adhesive was used, then price accordingly — multiple layers take longer but are absolutely removable.
We don't recommend it — seams, texture, and adhesive almost always show through or fail later. Removal gives a far more reliable, longer-lasting result.
Yes, this is the most efficient way to schedule it — strip and prep, then paint once the wall is fully ready, usually within the same project window.
