Atlanta Wallpaper Removal Services

Atlanta wallpaper removal services are usually the first move in any wall makeover, because whatever comes next — new paper or freshly applied paint — only looks its best on a clean, intact surface. Professional removal protects your drywall from the tearing and gouging that so often comes with rushed DIY, and it leaves you with a smooth foundation ready for the look you're after. Strip it the right way once, and you save yourself the headache of repairing damage later.

Pricing tracks closely with how the paper was hung and how many layers are stuck to the wall. Single-layer strippable paper typically falls between $1 and $2 per square foot. Older multi-layer or stubbornly adhered wallpaper climbs to roughly $2 to $3 a square foot. The majority of rooms strip out across 1 to 2 days. If the walls need rehabbing afterward — skim-coating, sanding, and priming — plan on an extra day and somewhere in the $0.50 to $1.50 per square foot range for that work.

If your wallpaper is a newer strippable type sitting on smooth, primed drywall, a careful homeowner can often handle it. The picture shifts the moment a few conditions show up. Paper older than 15 years, multiple stacked layers, or wallpaper applied straight onto unprimed drywall all push the job firmly into professional territory. Pull that kind of paper the wrong way and you can rip the paper face right off the drywall, leaving you with extensive surface repair — and a project that's grown well past where it started.

Bare walls rarely come away ready to repaint. The majority call for a skim coat and a sanding pass to smooth out adhesive residue and minor damage before any primer or new paper goes up. Instead of juggling separate trades, your OVO Painting crew runs the whole sequence — removal, wall repair, priming, and finish — as one coordinated project. That means a single fixed written quote, one timeline, and one in-house crew accountable from the first strip to the final coat.

You'll know exactly what you're getting into ahead of time. At your free, no-obligation estimate, your OVO Painting crew assesses the paper, explains the removal approach, and walks you through finish options — then provides a fixed written quote covering prep, premium Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore materials, plus our 5 to 10-year written warranty. A daily on-site project manager keeps the work tidy and on schedule.
