It’s that time of year again; time to revamp your home’s look with fresh wallpaper! But, first things first, let’s talk about wallpaper removal in Bedford, NY. We know you are excited to put up your new wallpaper…but is there already paper on the wall? It’s best to remove it first (rather than papering over it), so you have a smooth surface for the new paper to adhere to.

There are several methods our knowledgeable staff will use when it comes to wallpaper removal in Bedford, NY to ensure that your walls are clean, clear, and ready for the next phase of their lives! Our methods include:
Steam: We provide a commercial wallpaper steamer and dampen the walls. Then we gently scratch off the wallpaper; if it comes off easily, we know it’s ready to be removed using a wallpaper scraper.
Re-purpose: Don’t want us to use a steamer? We’ll spray your walls using a garden pump sprayer instead before removing it.
