- Two finish coats of premium paint on walls, ceilings, and trim
Frequently asked questions
- How much does wallpaper removal cost in Springfield, MO?
- Most wallpaper removal runs $1.50 to $4 per square foot of wall depending on how many layers there are, the adhesive used, and the condition of the drywall underneath. Repaint pricing is quoted alongside it.
- Will removing wallpaper damage my drywall?
- Some surface damage is normal, especially on walls that were never primed before papering. We skim-coat, sand, and prime every damaged area so the finished wall is smooth before any paint goes on.
- Can you just paint over wallpaper instead?
- We don't recommend it. Seams telegraph through, moisture in the paint can loosen the adhesive, and the paper eventually bubbles. Removing it properly is the only finish that lasts.
- How long does wallpaper removal take?
- A single average room is usually one to two days for removal and wall repair, plus a day for priming and painting. Multiple layers or heavy adhesive can add time.
- Do you clean up the mess?
- Completely. Floors and furniture are covered before we start, and all paper, backing, and adhesive residue leaves with us at the end of each day.
