Tools We Use for Expert Wallpaper Removal

Our skilled team is equipped to oversee distinct types of wallpaper, no matter the complexity. Here are the key tools we use:

Wallpaper Steamer: A powerful tool that uses steam to soften the wallpaper adhesive, making it easier to peel off.

Wallpaper Perforator: This tool creates small holes in the wallpaper, allowing the steam to penetrate and loosen the adhesive effectively.

Wallpaper Stripper Solution: It is a specially formulated solution that helps dissolve wallpaper adhesive so it can be removed smoothly.

Scrapers: It is used to gently lift and scrape off the wallpaper once it has been softened by steam or solution.

Sanding Tools: These tools are used to smooth the surface after wallpaper removal, ensuring it’s ready for new wall treatments.

Protective Gear: Safety is important to us. Our team uses gloves, safety glasses, and masks to protect themselves during removal.

Ladders and Platforms: Necessary for reaching higher parts of the wall while ensuring the safety of our team.

Can You Paint Over Wallpaper?

Yes, you can paint over wallpaper, but it’s essential to assess the condition of the wallpaper first. It should be in good condition without peeling or considerable damage. The surface should be thoroughly cleaned, and a suitable primer should be applied to help the paint adhere better. It also depends on the type of wallpaper as glossy materials cannot absorb paint.

It’s worth noting that removing the wallpaper for a smoother finish is usually recommended for a better and more long-lasting result, as painting over wallpaper can complicate future changes or renovations.
