When it comes to updating the look and feel of your home, wallpaper removal is one of the first steps many homeowners take. While wallpaper may have once been trendy, outdated or damaged wallpaper can make a room feel old and worn out. Sadly, removing wallpaper is not as simple as peeling it off the wall. Many homeowners quickly discover that it is a tedious, time-consuming, and messy process. That’s why hiring a professional painting company like Van Tuinen Painting can make all the difference. With the right tools, techniques, and experience, wallpaper removal can be completed efficiently, leaving only clean, beautiful walls behind, properly prepared for painting!
Wallpaper Removal Pitfalls
One of the biggest challenges with wallpaper removal is the mystery of what lies underneath. In many cases, older wallpaper was installed improperly, being layered directly on drywall without a proper primer or sealer, which can make removal tricky. Trying to take it off yourself can lead to gouges, scratches, or even chunks of drywall breaking off with the paper. Some walls may also have multiple layers of wallpaper that have been added over the years, adding extra layers of complication. A professional knows how to carefully assess the condition of your walls and determine the best method to remove wallpaper without causing unnecessary damage. By avoiding costly mistakes, you’ll save both time and money in the long run.
Beyond the technical challenges, wallpaper removal is just a messy and labor-intensive project. Heavy buckets of water, hot steaming tools, and bunches of adhesive residue can quickly turn into an annoying cleanup. Instead of spending your weekends battling wallpaper, you can leave the hard work to professionals who handle jobs like this every day. With years of experience, Van Tuinen Painting can ensure a quick and hassle free completion of the job, allowing you to focus on enjoying your newly refreshed home.
Why Hire Van Tuinen’s Professional Painters
A big reason to hire professionals like Van Tuinen for a wallpaper removal project is the overall efficiency of the process. Homeowners attempting it on their own will spend days steaming, scraping, and soaking wallpaper, only to end up with uneven results or sticky residue left behind. At Van Tuinen Painting, our team uses specialized tools and techniques to remove wallpaper cleanly and effectively. We make sure all adhesive is removed and the wall surface is properly prepared for the next step. This preparation is critical because even the smallest traces of glue can prevent paint from adhering properly, leading to streaks, bubbles, or peeling. Starting with a smooth, clean surface can guarantee that the final paint job looks flawless and lasts for years.
Once wallpaper is removed, proper wall repair and preparation are essential. Even when the removal is done carefully, some areas may require patching, sanding, or priming to restore the wall to its best condition. Our experts ensure that your walls are completely free of wallpaper, properly smoothed, and ready for a new sleek coat of paint. This attention to detail is what separates a DIY project from a professional finish. When you choose Van Tuinen Painting, you get more than a basic wallpaper removal–you get a high quality foundation for a stunning, long-lasting paint job that transforms your space.
