Wallpaper Removal for Barrie Homes

Rolling paint over wallpaper is tempting and usually regretted. The seams telegraph through, corners curl, and the water in the paint can lift the paper into blisters. Stripping it is slow work, and what is underneath normally needs repair.

The paper is scored and then soaked or steamed until it releases. Once it is off, the paste is washed away completely, because leftover adhesive is what makes paint craze and flake months later. Where the drywall's paper face has torn, it is sealed with a primer made for that, then skimmed, sanded and primed.

With the walls flat and sealed, painting can follow straight on in the same visit.

We provide wallpaper removal across Barrie, including Central Barrie, North Barrie and South Barrie. Call (705) 996-5068 for a free estimate.

Wallpaper Removal questions

Wallpaper Removal FAQs

Common questions about wallpaper removal.

Why not just paint over it?+
You can, but seams and edges generally show and then lift. Taking the paper off gives a finish that looks better and stays put.
The paper went straight onto bare drywall. Is that a problem?+
It happens a lot, and the drywall face often tears as the paper comes away. We seal the torn areas, skim and sand them before any paint.
How long for one room?+
Stripping and wall prep normally take one to two days. Painting is on top of that.
Will it make a mess?+
It is wet, sticky work. Floors and furniture are covered beforehand and the room is cleaned afterwards.
What about a border or a single wall?+
Same method. Borders and feature walls come off just like a full room.
