Old wallpaper removal is messy, slow, and damaging if done incorrectly. The wrong technique tears drywall paper, leaving a surface that shows through even multiple coats of paint. We've done enough of these to know every type of wall and every adhesive chemistry.

We score, soak, and carefully strip wallpaper without gouging the drywall underneath. After removal, the wall is skim-coated, primed with a drywall sealer, and left smooth and ready for paint — or for new wallpaper if that's the direction.

For wallpaper installation, we hang standard rolls, paste-the-wall murals, and peel-and-stick products. Pattern matching and corner seaming are where most DIY jobs fail — we get them right.

What's included

  • Full scoring and soaking for clean, damage-free removal
  • Drywall repair and skim-coat after removal
  • Oil-based primer applied before any topcoat
  • New wallpaper installation including pattern matching
  • Seams tight and invisible at normal viewing distance
  • Paste-the-wall, paste-the-paper, and peel-and-stick all handled

Our process

  1. 1

    Protect & prep

    We cover floors, furniture, and fixtures with drop cloths and plastic, then tape off trim and edges so nothing but the target surface gets touched.

  2. 2

    Repair & sand

    Holes, cracks, and dents are filled; glossy or rough areas are sanded so the new paint bonds cleanly and lays flat.

  3. 3

    Prime where needed

    Bare, patched, or stained areas are spot-primed — or fully primed on big colour changes — to seal the surface and guarantee even coverage.

  4. 4

    Two finish coats

    We apply two coats of premium Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, or Behr paint in your chosen finish, cutting in by hand for crisp, straight lines.

  5. 5

    Clean up & walkthrough

    We remove all materials, put the room back together, and walk the finished job with you — fixing anything that isn't right before we leave.
