Careful wallpaper and adhesive removal with wall repair and priming so walls are smooth and ready to paint.
Wallpaper that was beautiful twenty years ago can make a room look tired today, and removing it is one of the most dreaded home projects. Done wrong, it tears drywall paper, leaves glue residue and creates a mess that no paint can hide. Done well, it leaves a smooth, clean wall ready for any finish. Many Nashville homes have layers of old wallpaper over plaster or drywall, sometimes with border strips and stubborn adhesive. A professional approach with the right scoring, soaking and scraping tools protects the wall underneath.
We protect floors and baseboards, score the paper, apply a removal solution, peel and scrape carefully and wash away all adhesive. We then inspect the wall, repair any torn paper or gouges with joint compound, sand smooth and prime with a sealing primer that bonds to the surface. The wall is ready for paint, and we can paint it as part of the same project. For stubborn or old wall coverings, we explain options such as skim coating for a perfect finish.
Careful scoring and gentle scraping protect drywall paper and plaster from damage.
All glue residue is washed off, because paint over adhesive bubbles and peels.
Torn areas are repaired, sanded and primed so the wall looks smooth and takes paint evenly.
For rough or damaged walls, a thin skim coat of compound gives a flawless, paint-ready surface.
