About
What wallpaper removal includes before repainting
Wallpaper removal starts with a look at the wallcovering and the surface beneath it. We consider paper layers, seams, adhesive, drywall paper, and visible damage before setting the work scope. The work may include lifting or stripping the covering, clearing adhesive, and preparing exposed areas for a later coating. Wall repairs are separate decisions within the project, so we explain what the surface needs before painting. A careful inspection matters because removal can reveal uneven joints, torn drywall paper, or old patch work. Our written proposal sets out the planned work and pricing before production begins.

365 Painting Solutions did an excellent job on painting the entire interior of our house. The whole crew is so helpful and the process was so easy. We can't say enough about how thrilled we are with the end result. Jeff and Lorena did a great job helping us pick the perfect color! Efrain and the crew were a pleasure to have in the house and the careful workmanship was amazing.

We had been putting off painting our house because there is never a great time to do so. After we decided to do it, we got 6 bids, some where very low, with low grade products, other very high with outrageous considerations, Jeff and his team came dead in the middle with amazing notes from the first visit, careful workmanship and with top of the line quality product. Scheduling was a breeze with Lorena make it so easy for us even with a busy schedule during the summer. The best experience we've had, we basically did not notice the team was working. They arrived every day super early, left the area pristine, and delivered a great quality outcome in the entire exterior job. We are super happy with the pain, the look and all the recommendation and fixes the team did. We will definitely work with 365Painting Solutions for all of our future painting needs. Thank you for making this experience simple and painless.

These guys did an awesome job! They have a well trained team that works closely together to get the job done on time and on budget. They also did a number of other repairs on the interior and exterior ( removed dry rot, repair drywall, etc.) before they could even start the painting. I would highly recommend them!
Questions about removing wallpaper from walls
Who removes wallpaper in Sammamish, Washington?
PainterSammamishwa.com removes wallpaper for residential and commercial properties in Sammamish, Washington. We inspect the wallcovering, protect the surrounding area, and plan adhesive cleanup before work begins. Our process also identifies substrate damage that may need repair. A free estimate follows the consultation and in-home meeting, with the planned scope and pricing set out in writing.
What changes the cost of removing wallpaper from one room?
The wallcovering layers, adhesive bond, wall condition, and room access affect the project cost. Multiple paper layers can require more preparation, while torn drywall paper can add repair work. We review seams, edges, residue, and exposed substrate during the consultation. Our written project proposal explains the planned scope and pricing before work begins.
What should I do before the removal crew arrives?
Room access and surface information help us plan wallpaper removal safely. Move small items away from the walls, remove wall art, and note known repairs or water marks. Keep fixtures and larger furnishings available for protection planning. We review the room during the in-home meeting and confirm which walls belong in the written scope.
Can wallpaper come off without damaging drywall?
Wallpaper can come off cleanly when the removal method suits the paper, adhesive, and substrate. Strong bonds or weak drywall paper raise the risk of surface damage. We inspect a wall section before continuing across the room. If the exposed drywall needs repair, we identify that work separately so the next finish has a sound surface.
What happens to adhesive left on the wall?
Remaining adhesive must be cleared or prepared before primer and paint are applied. Paste can leave a tacky, uneven, or sealed surface that affects the next coating. We inspect the wall after paper removal and plan the needed cleanup. The final surface review checks whether agreed preparation and repairs are complete before closeout.
Does wallpaper removal include wall repairs?
Wallpaper removal includes identifying wall repairs, while the written scope defines which repairs belong in the project. We look for torn drywall paper, dents, uneven seams, and exposed substrate after the covering comes off. That review helps separate removal from patching and coating work. We explain the repair needs before production begins.
Is wallpaper removal different from paint stripping?
Wallpaper removal takes wallcovering and adhesive from a wall, while paint stripping removes coating layers from a painted surface. The two services expose different surface conditions and need different preparation decisions. We assess the material on the wall before setting the scope. Our estimate identifies the service and related repairs that apply.

Scenarios
When Customers Call Us About Wallpaper Removal
1
Peeling Paper Before A Repaint
Loose seams and lifted corners often signal failing adhesive or movement below the paper. The visible peel may not show the full condition of the wall, especially where several layers are present. We inspect the covering and substrate, then outline removal and repair needs in a written estimate. Keep the area accessible so we can review the wall properly.
2
Adhesive Left After Paper Removal
A room can look bare after the paper comes down while paste still coats the wall. That residue can affect primer and the next paint finish, so surface checks matter before coating begins. We assess the exposed wall, plan adhesive cleanup, and identify areas that need repair. Gather any past repair details before the in-home meeting.
3
Commercial Space Changing Its Look
A commercial room may need old wallcovering removed before a new finish or layout change. Access, fixtures, floor protection, and daily use all affect how the work area is organized. We review the space with the client, define the removal scope, and document the planned work. Clear access to each wall helps us prepare an accurate estimate.
