Why You Need Painters Who Remove Wallpaper And Paint In One Pass
The painters you want to remove wallpaper and paint your walls in Atlanta should treat both as a single project, and OVO Painting does exactly that, handling stripping, repair, priming, and finishing start to finish. Painting straight over wallpaper rarely holds up, so taking the paper down first is the only honest path to a wall that stays smooth.
What Goes Wrong When You Paint Over Paper
Tempted to coat right over the existing wallpaper to save a step? It almost never ends well for you. The seams telegraph through the new color, paint moisture loosens the glue and triggers bubbling, and any future peeling drags your fresh paint off with it. Removing the paper completely is what gives you a finish that lasts.
The Step-By-Step OVO Process
Here is how your crew works through an Atlanta wallpaper removal and repaint:
Most rooms finish inside two-to-four days; the exact timing tracks the square footage and the number of paper layers involved.
Scoring — we perforate the surface so the removal solution can reach the adhesive behind it without harming the drywall.
Stripping — steamers and professional solutions lift the paper in sections; older vinyl-coated stock from the '80s and '90s comes off carefully to avoid gouging.
Adhesive cleanup — leftover dried glue is washed and scraped away, since paint will not grip over old residue.
Wall repair — stripping often exposes hidden nail pops, hairline cracks, and failed joint tape, all of which we fix before priming.
Prime and paint — once a bonding primer locks down the surface, two coats of premium Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore paint set your color.

Every job runs under a dedicated daily project manager, a fixed written quote, and a 5 to 10-year written warranty, all carried out by our in-house crew.
