Dedicated Residential Wallpaper Removers in Loudoun County

Over the years, we've encountered a range of common questions regarding wallpaper removal. We firmly believe that an informed client is our most valued customer. Our residential wallpaper removers extend our services to homeowners in Ashburn, Leesburg, Reston, Aldie, and Purcellville. Here are some of those inquiries and our responses: 

Do you use a steamer? 

It depends on the situation. We employ a variety of methods tailored to the specific wallpaper type and the condition of the underlying wall. 

Isn't wallpaper removal more of a DIY project? 

Wallpaper removal is a skill that requires experience. Like any home improvement task, the quality of the outcome depends on the expertise of the person performing it. Amateur attempts often result in significant wall damage. 

What is the "best" way to remove wallpaper? 

There is no one-size-fits-all "best" method, as removal can involve multiple processes. Trained removal technicians understand the right procedures and their order. 

Can I paint over wallpaper? 

Generally, it's not advisable. Paint can cause the paper to bubble and peel. Old paper seams often remain visible. This option should only be considered in extreme cases, like deteriorating walls, but it requires extensive wall preparation and may lead to increased costs and wall damage during future removal. 

Can I wallpaper over the old paper? 

Wallpapering over old paper isn't wise for the same reasons as painting over it. It might void the manufacturer's warranty for the new wallcovering. 

How do you charge? 

Fees are determined based on several factors, including the size and layout of the area, the type of wallpaper, the difficulty of removal, and the condition of the wall before installation. 

Do you need to see the project? 

Yes, it's important for us to assess the project in person. 

Are the walls ready to be painted when finished? 

Before painting, we ensure that the walls are free of old wallpaper and paste. We then skim the walls with compound, sand smooth, and prime before painting.

Is it necessary to remove wallpaper before painting a room professionally? 

In most cases, yes. Removing wallpaper before painting provides a smoother, more durable finish. Professionals can handle both wallpaper removal and painting for a seamless transition. 

What steps are involved in the professional wallpaper removal process? 

The process typically includes assessment, wallpaper removal, surface preparation, and often repair or re-texturing, depending on the condition of the walls.
