Protecting Your Drywall and Plaster
The biggest risk during wallpaper removal is damaging the wall surface underneath. Aggressive scraping, excessive moisture, and improper techniques can gouge drywall, crack plaster, or leave behind adhesive that interferes with future finishes. Our team uses controlled methods that minimize these risks.
For drywall, we carefully manage moisture levels to prevent the paper facing from separating. For plaster walls, we use gentle techniques that preserve the surface integrity. If we encounter any damage during removal, we repair it on the spot so your walls are ready for the next step.

After removing the wallpaper, we prepare your walls for whatever comes next. If you are planning to paint, we ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and properly primed. If you are installing new wallpaper, we apply the appropriate primer and address any imperfections that could affect the new installation.
Our post-removal prep includes skim-coating uneven areas, sanding rough spots, and applying primer suited to your chosen finish. This attention to detail ensures that your new paint or wallpaper looks its best and lasts for years.
