Our Process
1
Assessment
We evaluate the wallpaper in your Round Hill home — type, age, number of layers, and underlying wall condition — then provide an estimate for removal and wall preparation.
2
Removal
Wallpaper is scored and steamed to loosen adhesive, then carefully stripped. Adhesive residue is washed away, and the drywall surface is cleaned completely.
3
Wall Repair
Any drywall damage from years of wallpaper and adhesive is repaired — skim coating, patching, and sanding to create perfectly smooth walls ready for finish.

Paint or Install
Walls are primed and painted with your chosen colors, or new wallpaper is professionally hung with precise pattern matching and seamless seams.
Wallpaper Services for Round Hill Homes
The wallpaper removal challenges vary widely across Round Hill. Older homes in Franklin Park may have multiple layers of vinyl, fabric, or paper wallcovering applied over decades. Newer homes in Sleeter Lake area might have a single layer of peel-and-stick or pre-pasted paper that comes off more easily. We adjust our technique to each situation.
For homeowners who want new wallpaper, we install all types — traditional paste-applied paper, pre-pasted wallcovering, vinyl commercial-grade products, grass cloth, and fabric-backed options. Our Round Hill installers ensure precise pattern matching and invisible seams on every wall.
Why Professional Wallpaper Removal Matters
DIY wallpaper removal is the source of more drywall damage than almost any other home improvement task. Homeowners in Round Hill who try to remove wallpaper themselves often tear the paper face of drywall, gouge surfaces with scrapers, or leave adhesive residue that bleeds through paint.
Professional removal preserves your walls. Our techniques soften adhesive effectively, allowing clean removal that doesn’t damage the underlying surface. And if the drywall has already been damaged by previous DIY attempts, we repair it — skim coating and sanding until your Round Hill walls are perfectly smooth.
Wallpaper Tips for Round Hill Homeowners
Don’t paint over wallpaper. While tempting, painting over wallpaper creates a textured, bumpy surface that’s nearly impossible to fix later. Always remove wallpaper before painting for a professional result.
Test a small area first. Before committing to full DIY removal, test a small section of wallpaper in your Round Hill home. If it doesn’t come off easily, call a professional to avoid wall damage.
Consider accent walls. Modern wallpaper on a single accent wall can add dramatic impact without the commitment of papering an entire room. It’s one of our most popular installations.
