WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN STRIPPING WALLPAPER

WHAT IS WALLPAPER STRIPPING?

Wallpaper stripping is the process of removing wallpaper and glue from the surface it was originally applied to. It can be a painstaking task that can also create quite a mess. The optimal result of successful wallpaper stripping is a clean, intact and even surface that is ready to be painted.

CAN YOU PAINT OVER WALLPAPER?

Can and should are entirely separate answers. Technically speaking you can paint over just about anything. The answer to whether you should paint over wallpaper is that it’s generally not advisable. Removing the wallpaper gives the most long-lasting and quality results.

Painting over wallpaper is not advised for a number of reasons, including:

• Painted-over wallpaper is much harder to remove late,r and the chance of damage to the drywall increases
• Texture and patterns in the wallpaper may still remain visible after painting
• Air bubbles and wallpaper seams may show through
• Uneven areas of color may occur due to the paint adhering differently to parts of the wallpaper
• The moisture in the paint can cause sections of wallpaper to come loose or bubble up

WHAT IS THE COST OF REMOVING WALLPAPER?

The average cost to remove wallpaper is around $3 per square foot and roughly $100 in materials. This equates to approximately $535 for a 12×12 foot room. Costs may increase based on the number of layers of wallpaper, age, type of wallpaper and whether the wallpaper is easily accessible or not (i.e. tall ceilings that require scaffolding).
