Remove the old covering
We protect the work area and remove the existing wallpaper using a method suited to the material and wall. Layers and unprimed drywall may require additional time.

Wallpaper Removal & Wall Preparation in Columbus.
A good wallpaper installation starts underneath. We remove old wallpaper and prepare walls for new wallcoverings in Columbus, Westerville, and surrounding communities.
Find out what is underneath before covering it.
Old wallpaper can conceal adhesive, loose paint, or damaged drywall paper. We assess the existing covering and wall condition, then discuss the preparation needed. Removal time and repair scope depend on how the original wallpaper was installed and how it releases.
Address the surface
After removal, remaining adhesive and surface defects are assessed. Necessary cleaning, light repairs, and sanding are agreed as part of the preparation scope.
Prime for new wallpaper
Once the wall is sound, smooth, and dry, we apply suitable wallpaper primer as agreed and follow the product’s drying instructions before hanging the new material.
Preparation matched to your wall.
An uneven wall can show through the finished wallpaper. Texture, rough patches, and damaged areas may need more work than light sanding. Photos help us make an initial assessment, but the full condition may become clear only after removal. If we uncover additional work, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
Before we begin
Your questions, answered.
Can I remove the old wallpaper myself?
Yes. You can handle removal before we install the new wallpaper. Send photos of the exposed wall afterward so we can review adhesive residue, damage, and any preparation still needed.
Does primer guarantee easy removal later?
Wallpaper primer helps create a suitable installation surface and can make future removal easier. Results still depend on the wall, adhesive, wallcovering, and removal method; damage-free removal cannot be guaranteed.
Can you quote removal from photos?
Photos allow an initial estimate. The number of layers, adhesive, and condition beneath the covering can affect the final scope, so some projects need an inspection or a test area.
