Tips for Wallpaper Removal

Homeowners beware of the many techniques or devices available for purchase to help with wallpaper removal. The truth is, if the walls weren’t prepped correctly before installation, it will be challenging for you or any professional you hire.

Stripping wallpaper is much different than removing wallpapers of the past!
Stripping wallpaper today is much easier with the use of nonwoven backings or fabric-backed vinyl. However, the best papers are still produced the same way they were a hundred years ago. High-end papers require the correct wall prep to assure their sustainability, longevity, and easy removal. YouTube offers a variety of helpful videos, but caution is needed as every wall situation can be different. Tools like scoring devices or steamers can cause substantial damage in the wrong hands.

We are Residential and Commercial Wallpaper Removal and Wallpaper Stripping Experts

At Heritage, we pride ourselves on discerning the type of wallpaper removal your job requires. With over 30 years of installation and removal experience, there’s not much we haven’t seen. Our clients include many historical restorations that require multiple layer removals and plaster or drywall repair before new wallcoverings can be applied. We have successfully handled projects like the Brown Palace in downtown Denver. We are sought after by companies that require professional finishes of high-end wallcoverings and fabrics, completing them with minimal impact on their customers. We use this same approach for residential wallpaper removals—low impact and fast completion, coupled with extensive experience.

Know your Wallpaper

Stripping wallpaper can be tricky. Many builders in the late ’70s and ’80s hung wallpaper without proper wall prep or priming, making those papers part of the drywall and nearly impossible to remove. Some wallpaper will peel off the first layer, leaving a backing permanently bonded to the drywall. There are options to seal and finish those walls to any desired standard.

Cost of Wallpaper Removal / Stripping

The cost of wallpaper removal can vary. Simple wallpaper removals generally cost about 20 to 30 dollars per roll but can be cheaper or more expensive depending on the circumstances. When pricing a wallpaper removal job, it’s important to consider the specific conditions of your walls and the type of wallpaper used.

At Heritage, we ensure professional wall prep or priming, either by you or our crew. With proper primers and strippable adhesives, we guarantee the ability to remove and replace your design at any time with no additional expense for wall repairs. We remove and install wallpaper for most major hotel chains in the country. Our team of 6 to 8 experienced installers knows every facet of both residential and commercial wallpaper removal.

Domed Ceiling Wallpaper Removal
One of our most unique projects involved removing wallpaper from a domed ceiling with multiple layers. The final layer was canvas, and the owners had artists from San Francisco come in to paint new canvas panels that had to be hung and custom cut to fit the dome shape.

Commercial Wallpaper Removal
Restaurants, offices, homes, and businesses alike use our wallpaper hanging and removal services because of our knowledge and experience.
