Old wallpapers can be tough to remove. The process can be messy, tiring, and time-consuming. Wrong tools and techniques can damage the surfaces. Professional Michigan services ensure a hassle-free surface prep, rapid project completion, and spotless results.
After all the wallpaper comes off, we wash down the surfaces with gentle cleaners to remove any remaining adhesives, as they can cause a blotchy, uneven paint finish.
Gel wallpaper removers cling to the surface better and make the wall stay wet longer instead of quickly dripping off. Liquid wallpaper removers are easy to use and can be directly sprayed on any surface.
For steam wallpaper removal, we hold the ironing plate up to the wallpaper for about 35-40 seconds or until the adhesive begins to loosen. We work in small sections and use attachments to reach corners.
