Professional Wallpaper Removal Services - Safe, Clean, and Complete

The cost of wallpaper removal depends on several factors: the size of the room, the type and age of the wallpaper, and how many layers need to be removed. Textured, vinyl, or painted-over wallpapers are more difficult to strip, which can affect time and pricing. During your free in-home estimate, our team evaluates your specific situation, explains the removal process, and provides a clear breakdown of costs. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before we begin.

Most wallpaper removal projects are completed in 1–3 days, but the timeline can vary depending on room size, the number of wallpaper layers, and the condition of the adhesive. Single rooms with standard wallpaper may take just a day, while larger homes or projects with multiple stubborn layers may require more time. We always provide a detailed timeline before starting and keep you updated throughout, so there are no surprises.

When done by professionals, wallpaper removal should not damage your drywall or plaster. Our team uses specialized tools and proven techniques—such as controlled steaming, scoring, and adhesive treatments—to remove wallpaper safely. In cases where damage is uncovered, such as small gouges or cracks, we include wall repairs as part of the process. The end result is a smooth, even surface ready for painting or finishing.

Yes. Many homes in Andover, North Andover, and across the Merrimack Valley are older properties with multiple wallpaper layers or delicate plaster walls. These situations require extra care and patience, which our team is trained to handle. We take the time to protect your walls while removing even the most stubborn wallpaper, ensuring the character of your historic home is preserved while giving you a clean, modern look.

We recommend removing personal belongings, wall décor, and small pieces of furniture to make the process easier. Our crew takes care of the rest—we protect your floors, trim, and larger furniture with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. This ensures that the removal process is as clean and stress-free as possible. You won’t have to worry about dust or debris spreading throughout your home.

After removal, we thoroughly clean the walls to eliminate adhesive residue, repair any imperfections, sand for smoothness, and apply primer as needed. Many homeowners choose to move directly into painting at this stage, which we can provide as part of the same project. This means you can go from outdated wallpaper to freshly painted walls in one seamless process without coordinating multiple contractors.

Technically, yes—but it’s rarely a good idea. Painting over wallpaper often leads to bubbling, peeling, and visible seams within months. Adhesive and uneven surfaces prevent paint from adhering properly. For long-term results and a professional finish, complete wallpaper removal is always recommended. We specialize in giving you a smooth, clean surface that makes your new paint job last longer and look significantly better.

Painted-over wallpaper is one of the most challenging situations, but our team has the expertise to handle it. We carefully score, steam, and treat these walls with solvents to break down both the paint and the adhesive beneath it. The process takes longer, but the results are worth it—a clean, prepared surface that’s ready for fresh paint without flaws or bubbling.
