Wallcovering Removal & Installation

Wallcovering Removal & Installation Process

Wallpaper isn’t forgiving. Every seam shows. That’s why we follow a tight, proven process from tear-down to final detail.

  • 1. Protect the Space

    Floors, trim, and fixtures are covered and secured before work begins. Clean, controlled job site from start to finish.

  • 2. Remove with Control

    We strip the existing wallcovering using the proper method — removing adhesive and material carefully and thoroughly.

  • 3. Prep the Surface

    Residual adhesive is cleaned, the surface is smoothed as needed, and the wall is prepared for proper adhesion.

  • 4. Prime for Adhesion

    We apply the appropriate primer to seal the surface and ensure the new wallcovering bonds correctly — preventing peeling or bubbling.

  • 5. Precision Installation

    We establish plumb lines, align patterns, and install with tight seams and clean cuts at corners and trim.

  • 6. Final Inspection & Cleanup

    Every seam is checked. The space is cleaned. What’s left is a sharp, finished wall — done right the first time.

Professional wallpaper removal in Sioux Falls prevents damage to drywall and ensures complete adhesive removal.

How do you prepare walls after wallcovering removal?

Proper surface preparation is critical. After thorough removal, we clean residual adhesive, repair any drywall damage or imperfections, skim coat as needed, and apply a high-quality primer. This step ensures excellent adhesion and a smooth base for new wallcovering or paint.

Will wallcovering removal damage my walls?

When performed by professionals, wallcovering removal causes minimal to no damage. Our team uses proven techniques and steam or chemical solutions appropriate for the specific material and wall type, followed by detailed repairs to restore surfaces to like-new condition.
