Old paper, painted-over layers, glue that has been curing since the seventies. We take down practically everything, wash the wall clean and set you up for a smooth new finish.
Serving Sacramento and 50 miles around · In-home consultation: $200, fully credited toward your project.
No Wall We Walk Away From
Some companies only quote removal when the paper looks easy. We do the opposite. Around Sacramento we have stripped practically everything: vinyl glued straight to drywall, paper that was painted over twice, layers stacked on layers since the seventies. There is no situation we have not handled. If there is wallpaper on your wall, we can take it down.
And we do it like guests in your home. Floors covered, furniture protected, edges and outlets treated with care, and every scrap hauled away when we leave.
What We Take Down
Vinyl and Non-Woven
Modern papers, peelable tops and the backing layer behind them. Removed completely, not just the surface sheet.
Grasscloth and Naturals
Delicate natural fibers come down clean, along with the adhesive that held them.
Painted-Over Wallpaper
The hardest case in the business. Paint seals the paper to the wall, and we still get it off with patience and the right tools.
Multiple Layers and Old Glue
Decades of layers and hardened paste, stripped and washed until the wall itself is all that remains.

Protect and Strip
Floors, trim and furniture are covered before anything starts. The paper and its backing come down with the method that matches the material, never a one-size approach.
Wash Off the Adhesive
Glue residue left on a wall ruins paint and new paper alike. We wash the adhesive off completely, so nothing bubbles, cracks or peels later.
Set Up the Smooth Finish
We walk the walls with you and recommend the right repair and primer, so the surface ends up smooth, sealed and ready for paint or new wallpaper.
Primer and Repair Make the Wall Truly Smooth
What hides under old wallpaper is never a surprise to us, but it is always a story. Small gouges, patch spots, drywall that was never primed. Our recommendation is always the same and always honest: repair what needs repair, then prime with a quality primer so the wall is sealed, uniform and genuinely smooth.
If new wallpaper is going up, we prepare the surface the way we would want to install over it ourselves. If paint is next, your painter starts from a clean, sound wall instead of fighting thirty-year-old glue.
What Wallpaper Removal Costs in Sacramento
Every wall is different, so we do not do vague ranges. Removal is quoted as its own transparent line, based on square footage, the number of layers, the adhesive and the condition of the wall. Send photos through the quote form and you receive an exact written number within one business day. No pressure visits, no surprises on the invoice.

The Standard We Leave Behind
Removal is only half the job. This is the finish our clients end up with once the wall is stripped, repaired, primed and papered again.
