Villa Park Walls Have Their Own Challenges
Villa Park has homes from the 1950s through the 1990s, and wallpaper was popular in every decade. Older glue and multiple layers make removal a specific job.
Multiple layers of paper
Some Villa Park homes have wallpaper layered over older wallpaper. We strip every layer without damaging the drywall underneath.
Old glue that won't let go
Old adhesive can be stubborn. We use professional steamers to get the glue soft and scrape it clean.
Drywall damage underneath
Paper often comes off and takes the drywall face with it. We skim those spots smooth before painting. See drywall repair in Villa Park.
Wallpaper removal in Villa Park is one of those jobs where the wall underneath always needs work. We don't skip that part.
