Wallpaper Removal Service
Before beautiful new wallpaper can go up, old wallpaper must come down — and doing it right makes all the difference. At New York Wallpaper Installers, our professional wallpaper removal service ensures that your walls are stripped cleanly, safely, and thoroughly, creating the perfect foundation for whatever comes next, whether that is fresh wallpaper, paint, or another wall treatment.
Attempting to remove wallpaper without professional expertise often leads to damaged walls, torn drywall paper, gouged plaster, and hours of frustrating work. Our trained technicians use professional-grade steamers, scoring tools, and removal solutions to efficiently strip wallpaper while protecting the underlying wall surface. We handle every type of wallpaper removal, from easy-to-strip modern materials to stubborn multi-layered vintage papers that have been adhered for decades.
Our removal process begins with a thorough assessment of the existing wallpaper and wall condition. We identify the type of wallpaper, the adhesive used, and the condition of the wall beneath. This assessment determines the best removal approach — some wallpapers respond well to dry stripping, while others require steam or chemical solutions. For particularly stubborn applications, we use a combination of techniques to ensure complete removal without wall damage.
After the wallpaper is removed, we do not simply walk away. Our service includes thorough wall cleanup — removing all adhesive residue, smoothing any rough spots, and preparing the surface for its next treatment. If you are having new wallpaper installed, we ensure the walls are primed and ready for a flawless application. If you are switching to paint, we leave the walls smooth and clean, ready for your painter.
