Old wallpaper, borders and glue stripped so walls paint clean.
Wallpaper Removal in Flemington, NJ
Wallpaper removal in Flemington, NJ decides how good the next paint job looks. Paper that peels off in strips is the easy part. The adhesive left behind, and the drywall face that tears with it, decide whether the wall paints smooth.
We score, soak and strip the paper, wash off the glue, and seal any torn drywall paper so it does not bubble under primer. Badly damaged walls get a skim coat, and older homes with paper over plaster get plaster repair where the surface has let go.
Glue removed, not painted over
Adhesive left on a wall cracks and wrinkles paint, so it gets washed off before primer.
Damage sealed
Torn drywall paper gets a sealing primer so it lies flat instead of blistering.
Ready for color
Walls are patched and primed, so painting can follow with the same crew.
