Wallpaper in Romeoville Homes: What to Expect
Romeoville homes have wallpaper in every style—from 70s florals to 90s border stripes. Here's what we deal with regularly.
Vinyl wallpaper in kitchens
Kitchens in Romeoville often have vinyl wallpaper that doesn't absorb water. We score it, steam it, and peel it in sections.
Paper on plaster walls
Older Romeoville homes with plaster walls hold paper differently. The adhesive can bind to the plaster, but we remove it without damaging the surface.
Glossy wallpaper in bathrooms
Bathroom wallpaper is often coated with a glossy finish. We use stronger stripping solutions and steam to get through it. See our wallpaper removal in Romeoville process.
Wallpaper removal is a messy job that most homeowners dread. We handle it completely so you don't have to spend weekends scraping glue off walls.
