Wallpaper Removal

Wallpaper Removal Louisville KY Removing Wallpaper Louisville

Wallpaper removal can be easy or it can be near impossible. So many variables will affect one room to the next; it can be the paper, the wall underneath the paper environment and more.  Many professional wallpaper hangers and painting contractors will charge by the hour for wallpaper removal.  There is often no way to judge how long it will take until it is done.  There may be wall repair, it may require sanding and priming to cover the glue, or it could come off easy and take minutes rather than hours.

Hot water will break down the glue. There are also chemicals that work well, but they are known carcinogens and cost money.  A pump chemical sprayer or hand sprayer is needed for using hot water or the concentrated chemicals mixed with water.  A three to six inch wall scraper or taping knife is needed to scrape off the paper and glue. If the paper proves too difficult to take off we use the following method. Paint the paper with a shellac based primer which seals it.  We then use thin layer of drywall compound (mud) to cover the seams.  A light sanding and the walls are ready for paint.
