Wallpaper Removal Services Step by Step

Is wallpaper removal at the top of your interior makeover list? It might be outdated, torn and peeling, or doesn't suit your taste. Removing wallpaper is a tedious task that often results in damage to the drywall when it isn't done correctly.

But even if it comes off smoothly, there will be imperfections in the drywall beneath the wallpaper. Drywall repair is paramount before interior painting begins.
