Clear the Walls Without Damaging the Surface

Wallpaper removal services for homes and commercial properties in Texarkana and the surrounding area.

Outdated or damaged wallpaper makes a room feel stuck in time, and trying to paint over it leads to visible seams, bubbling, and uneven texture. Removing wallpaper without gouging drywall or leaving adhesive residue requires the right tools and technique. Williams Commercial Painting & Performance Floor Coatings handles wallpaper removal throughout Texarkana for residential properties, rental units, and commercial spaces preparing for remodels or tenant turnovers.

We use controlled steam and safe stripping methods to lift wallpaper layers without tearing into the drywall beneath. Once the paper is removed, we clean the walls to eliminate adhesive residue and prepare the surface for painting or new finishes. The goal is to leave you with smooth, paint-ready walls that do not show signs of past coverings.

If you have wallpaper that needs to come off before your next project in Texarkana, contact us to schedule removal and surface prep.

What the Walls Look Like After Removal

When we remove wallpaper in Texarkana, we start by testing a small section to determine the best removal method based on the type of paper and adhesive used. You will see clean, bare drywall once the paper and glue are removed, with minimal surface damage if the walls were in good condition to begin with. We use scrapers and steam equipment designed to lift paper without gouging the substrate.

After removal, the walls are wiped down and inspected for any remaining adhesive or texture issues. Surface preparation ensures smooth, paint-ready walls that accept primer and paint evenly. If there are small imperfections left behind, those can be patched and sanded as part of the finishing process.

This service focuses on wallpaper removal and surface prep, not full drywall repair or repainting. If walls have existing damage unrelated to the wallpaper, such as cracks or holes, those will need to be addressed separately. The result is a clean starting point for whatever finish you plan to apply next, whether that is paint, new wallpaper, or texture.

Questions We Hear From Property Owners

Before scheduling wallpaper removal, most people want to know how long it takes, what condition the walls will be in afterward, and whether the work creates a lot of dust or mess.

How long does wallpaper removal take?
A typical room takes four to eight hours depending on the size and the number of wallpaper layers. Older adhesive or multiple layers can extend the timeline, but most residential rooms are completed in a single day.
Will removing wallpaper damage my drywall?
We use steam and controlled scraping to minimize damage, but some surface texture may lift if the drywall was not properly sealed before the wallpaper was applied. Minor damage can be patched during surface prep.
What if the wallpaper was painted over?
Painted wallpaper is more difficult to remove because the paint layer seals the paper and prevents moisture from penetrating. We score the surface and use steam to loosen the layers, but removal takes longer in these cases.
Do you clean up the adhesive residue?
Yes, adhesive removal is part of the process. We wipe down the walls with appropriate cleaners to remove glue and prepare the surface for painting or refinishing in Texarkana.
Can you remove wallpaper in commercial spaces?
Yes, we handle wallpaper removal in offices, rental properties, and commercial buildings throughout the area. The process is the same whether the space is residential or commercial.
