Tired of dated wallpaper? TrueEdge Paint removes wallpaper cleanly and professionally, preparing your walls for a beautiful fresh paint finish.
About Our Wallpaper Removal Service
Wallpaper removal is one of the most challenging and time-consuming home improvement tasks — done incorrectly, it can damage drywall, leave adhesive residue, and create a surface that looks worse than the original wallpaper. TrueEdge Paint's professional wallpaper removal team has the tools, techniques, and experience to remove even the most stubborn wallpaper cleanly and efficiently. We use professional steamers, scoring tools, and removal solutions to loosen wallpaper without damaging the underlying drywall or plaster. After removal, we skim coat and sand the walls to create a perfectly smooth surface ready for paint.
What's Included
- Professional steamers and removal tools
- No damage to underlying drywall

Careful Removal
Wallpaper is removed in sections using professional tools that protect the underlying wall surface.
Wall Repair & Prep
All adhesive residue is removed, walls are skim coated, sanded, and primed for painting.
