Painting + Surface Preparation

Wallpaper Removal.

Professional wallpaper stripping, adhesive cleanup, wall repair and complete preparation for a clean painted finish.

Proper Preparation Matters

Remove the Wallpaper. Restore the Wall.

Removing wallpaper is only the first step toward a properly finished wall. Different wallcoverings and adhesives require different removal techniques, and the condition of the drywall or plaster underneath determines how much preparation is necessary. Wallpaper installed over unprimed drywall can pull away the paper facing, while older adhesives may leave residue that interferes with new coatings. Home Doctor Construction evaluates these conditions and addresses removal, adhesive cleanup, and appropriate wall preparation before repainting.

Complete wall preparation

Our services can include removing existing wallpaper, cleaning adhesive residue, repairing damaged drywall, sealing exposed drywall paper, and skim coating uneven surfaces when necessary. Once repairs are complete, we prepare the walls through sanding, cleaning, and appropriate priming before painting. The estimate identifies the anticipated preparation, repairs, and finishing work so customers understand what is included.

Removal Through Repainting

One Company for the Entire Finish.

Instead of stopping after the paper comes down, we can carry the walls through repair, preparation, primer and paint.

What Affects Wallpaper Removal Costs?

Wallpaper removal pricing depends on the size of the area, the number of wallpaper layers, adhesive type, wall condition, and the amount of preparation required before painting. Some wallcoverings release cleanly, while others require additional labor to remove adhesive or repair damaged drywall.

Our estimates can account for wallpaper stripping, adhesive cleanup, drywall repairs, skim coating where necessary, primer, and final painting. The proposed scope identifies the work included, helping customers understand the preparation needed to achieve a professional finish.
