Wallpaper
Few home improvement projects are more time consuming, messy, or frustrating, than stripping wallpaper. To remove wallpaper effectively, you need special tools, caustic chemical materials, and most of all, an incredible amount of patience. Additionally, you don't want to damage the drywall or plaster underneath, because then you have another repair job on your hands. For many do-it-yourselfers, removing wallpaper is a set up to fail.
And no cheating. DO not try painting over wallpaper or wallpapering over wallpaper. You will not like the end result.
Although wallpaper has lost much of its popularity with the introduction of faux painting, the wallpaper still has to be removed before a fresh coat of paint can be applied. The challenge is developing a system to remove the adhesive or glue from the wallpaper. There is no off-the-shelf wallpaper removal product you can just brush or spray on that makes the process easier.
Removing Wallpaper Without Damaging The Wall - Or Yourself
And that's where Four Seasons Painting & Home Improvement comes in. We have both the experience and the proper tools to strip the wallpaper without the painstaking process associated with wallpaper removal. In fact, believe it or not, older wallpaper is easier to remove because it responds better to moisture, but newer wallpaper has adhesive designed to resist moisture.
Many of our Atlanta clients ask us what is the best way to remove wallpaper. There is no easy answer or magic bullet. It depends on the wallpaper itself and the drywall underneath. We score, we steam and we scrape. But we do so gently. If you butcher the drywall or plaster, that creates another repair job. Good for us, but not so good for you!
