Stop the Frustration

The Ultimate DIY Nightmare.

Removing wallpaper yourself usually goes one of two ways: either you leave chunks of sticky backing all over the wall, or you use a scraper too aggressively and end up gouging massive holes in the delicate drywall beneath.

At DPS Design Painting Services, we take the nightmare out of the equation. We use specialized scoring tools, steamers, and commercial solvents to melt the adhesive safely. Once the paper is gone, we float and texture the walls, leaving you with a pristine surface ready for a modern paint color.

How It Works

Our Proven Process

1

Room Protection

Removing wallpaper is a wet, messy job. We move furniture and securely tape heavy-duty plastic drop cloths over your flooring and baseboards to catch all falling glue and paper.

2

Scoring & Stripping

We gently score the wallpaper to allow our commercial-grade solvent and hot steam to penetrate the backing, melting the adhesive so the paper can be carefully pulled down.

3

Glue Wash & Wall Prep

We wash the walls extensively to remove every trace of sticky glue residue. Any remaining glue will cause future paint to fail and peel immediately.

4

Float, Prime, & Paint

Because old drywall often has imperfections, we skim coat the wall to make it perfectly smooth. We then seal it with an oil-based primer before applying the final, flawless coats of paint.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs

Have questions? The fastest way to get an answer is to Call Us directly.

Can I just paint over my old wallpaper?

It is highly discouraged. The moisture in latex paint will seep into the wallpaper seams, causing the paper to bubble, peel, and detach from the wall. The only professional, long-lasting way is to completely remove it.

Will removing the wallpaper damage my drywall?

DIY removal often leads to severely gouged drywall. Our experts use specialized steamers, solvents, and scoring tools to safely melt the adhesive and lift the paper without tearing the delicate drywall paper backing beneath.

What happens if there is sticky glue left behind?

We do not leave glue behind. We wash the walls heavily with commercial-grade adhesive removers. If any glue remains, it will create a horrible, cracked texture under the paint. We ensure the wall is 100% clean and then seal it with a specialized primer.

How long does the whole process take?

Depending on the size of the room and how stubbornly the wallpaper was applied (especially if the walls were never primed first), removal and prep usually take 1 to 2 days, followed by 1 day for painting.
