Wallpaper Removal: Benefits of Hiring a Professional
While there are many tools you can purchase to assist you in removing your unwanted wallpaper, removal is often more challenging — and difficult — than it may initially appear. When you’re ready to remove your unwanted wallpaper, considering hiring a professional to experience the following benefits:
Save Time and Energy
Rarely does wallpaper peel away in large poster size sheets. Removing the paper is often time-consuming because it doesn’t easily come away from the wall.
Furthermore, over time, wallpaper adhesive bonds become stronger, which makes removal even more difficult.

Because of the many steps when removing wallpaper and painting, it makes sense to remove items when possible.
Can You Paint Over Wallpaper?
The short answer is – sometimes. That wasn’t helpful.
There are a few scenarios when I recommend painting over wallpaper. First when it is smooth and free of texture. Second, when it is tight to the wall and not peeling. And third, when it is not in a kitchen or bathroom.
When we paint wallpaper we spackle the seams and caulk the edges. The walls need to be primed with a sealer and then we apply either two coats of a flat or matte finish paint.
Reasons to remove your old wallpaper include:
- Wallpaper is applied in rows, and when this material is painted over, the seams where the paper was lined up will often show through the paint application.
- Wallpaper with a texture should not be painted over even if you like the texture. Thick textured wallpaper can trap moisture and have mildew behind it. This occurs regardless if it was painted.
- Recently, I was at a hotel at a beach resort that was being remodeled. Behind the dated wallpaper was mold on most of the walls.
Our professional experience plays a major role in knowing which route to go with your interior painting project. This would save you money and time in the end.
