DIY vs. Professional Wallpaper Removal Services
Some homeowners might think of taking on the task of wallpaper extraction themselves, but it's best left to the professionals who specialize in this field. Wallpaper removal can be strenuous and requires specialized training to execute correctly. To decide the most effective method for wallpaper extraction, our team takes into account:
- Techniques used during the original wallpaper installation
- The length of time the wallpaper has been on the wall
- The type of initial wallpaper
- The condition of the wall primer and sealant prior to application

Wallpaper Removal Before Painting
For a smooth and flawless painting outcome, we always recommend removing existing wallpaper before getting the walls painted. Just painting over wallpaper can lead to a patchy appearance. With time, the wallpaper's loosening can cause unsightly wrinkles, bubbles, and even cracks or tears in the paintwork. Even the most skilled painting professionals find it challenging to ensure a uniform and consistent paint job without first removing the wallpaper. If you're contemplating a painting project for your wallpapered walls, reach out to us today for our expert wallpaper removal services.
Wallpaper Removal Service Costs
If cost is a concern, we offer estimates for our professional wallpaper removal services. We customize our services to align with the unique features and walls of your home. Factors such as the size of the project, the age of the wallpaper, its type, and the method of removal influence the quote. Wallpaper removal in areas like stairwells or high ceilings may be more expensive.

How Long Can You Keep Paint Before It Goes Bad?
We’ve all been there—a painting project doesn’t use up all the paint you bought, and now it’s time to hammer the lid back on and take it to the garage or basement storage area. That paint will go bad in two to fifteen years. That’s such a big range, so how do you determine when it’ll be spent? Examine the type of paint and storage conditions to estimate shelf life. We’ll walk you through it.
