Westmont Wallpaper Has Its Own Problems
Westmont has homes from the 1970s and 80s with original wallpaper that's been on the walls for decades. That changes how removal should be handled.
Multiple layers of paper
Many Westmont homes have two or three layers of wallpaper applied over the years. We remove every layer so you start fresh.
Stubborn glue residue
Old adhesive doesn't come off easily. We scrub every wall clean so the new paint has a smooth surface to stick to.
Wall damage underneath
Paper often hides cracks and holes. We patch and repair whatever we find after the paper comes off.
Some wallpaper contains lead or other materials in older homes. Our crews follow safe handling protocols when that's the case.
