Wallpaper removal from drywall
We start by scoring the wallpaper with a scoring tool, then loosen it with a low-pressure water sprayer and scraper made for drywall paper.
Wallpaper removal from plaster and textured walls
Steam loosens paste on plaster while keeping the texture intact when you work in small sections with a steamer and stiff putty knife.
Stripping wallpaper glue residue after removal
Repeated passes with hot water and a residue remover loosen dried paste, then drywall compound covers any remaining film to prevent new bubbling.
Adhesive residue left by vinyl wallpaper
Vinyl backing traps adhesive, so a gel stripper or enzymatic paste remover breaks the bond before scraping with a razor scraper.
- Gel stripper—works on stubborn paste film
- Enzymatic paste remover—targets dried adhesive
- Razor scraper—removes softened residue
Wall material prep for repainting
After removal, sanding with 120-grit paper and cleaning with TSP substitute clears paste dust and chalky drywall spots before priming.
Removing wallpaper over tile backer board
A razor scraper clears wallpaper near seams, and grout lines need careful cleaning so thinset or caulk can bond properly later.
