Old wallpaper comes down without gouging your drywall. Steam application at 212F loosens adhesive layers that dry-stripping would tear, so walls emerge smooth and ready for skim coating or direct paint. You avoid the craters, gouges, and paper-face tears that DIY removal typically leaves behind.
Most single rooms clear in under four hours. We score, steam, strip, and haul debris the same visit - you come home to prepped walls, not paste residue or scattered scraps. Skim coating fills any imperfections so the final paint finish looks factory-smooth.

Frequently Asked
How long does wallpaper removal near me take?
A single room typically takes 4-6 hours for stripping plus another half-day for skim coating and sanding. Multi-layer vintage paper or full-house projects may need 2-3 days. We include all prep time in every written estimate.
Will removing wallpaper damage my walls?
Steam at 212F releases adhesive without gouging drywall. Any minor paper-face tears get skimmed with joint compound and sanded smooth before primer. You end up with walls that look better than original construction.
What does wallpaper removal cost in Sarasota?
Pricing depends on wallpaper type, layer count, and wall condition. Standard vinyl in a 12x12 room runs $400-$600 including disposal. Multi-layer or fabric wallpaper costs more. We measure on-site and quote same-day.
Do you paint after removing wallpaper?
Yes. Most clients bundle removal with primer and two coats of Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore. Walls are prepped, skimmed, and sanded before any paint goes on. One crew handles the entire project start to finish.
What types of wallpaper do you remove?
Vinyl, fabric, grasscloth, and vintage paper - including multiple-layer installations from the 1980s and 1990s. Peelable paper comes off faster. Older paste-backed paper needs more steam time. We assess and quote accurately.
What warranty covers wallpaper removal work?
Every wallpaper removal project includes our 10-year written workmanship warranty. If skim coat cracks or seams show through paint, we return and correct at no charge. Material warranties from Sherwin-Williams add coverage for paint.
