When to Remove Wallpaper
Three common reasons we see
Before listing a home
Many home buyers won’t put an offer on a house with wallpaper. Older style wallpaper makes the home
look dated, while more modern style wallpaper may not match the buyer’s tastes or furniture. It’s
often best to make the home look as neutral as possible so potential buyers can make their own
personal interior touches.
Before moving in
This one is a little rarer, but sometimes people can see past a little wallpaper and want the home to
match their tastes before they move in. In this case they may have gotten a bit of a deal, because
others passed on the home because of the wallpaper.
Part of a larger remodel
Some people update their home with a kitchen or bathroom remodel and new floors. The general
contractor may not have a person who specializes in wallpaper removal. We can remove the wallpaper
before the bulk of the project, then return when everything is complete to apply the interior paint.

Services
Wallpaper removal, painting, and repair
Wallpaper Removal
Wallpaper removal is the cornerstone to TC Pro Wallpaper. Over the past 20 years, we have come
across many different types of wallpaper. We have developed different techniques to take off the
many kinds of wallpaper. Most of the time we remove wallpaper in conjunction with a large painting
job. We will also remove the wallpaper by itself for those homeowners that like DIY, but don’t want
the mess of dealing with wallpaper.
Interior Painting
TC Pro Wallpaper does high quality work when it comes to interior painting. Interior painting work
may include walls, ceiling, trim, and painting interior features. From setup to clean up and
everything in between, we pay special attention to details to ensure a professional finish using
high-end professional products.
Plaster Skim Coating
Our skim coat process starts with sealing in any residual wallpaper paste with specially formulated
primer. This ensures no discoloration works its way into the paint plus allows for a clean surface
for plaster application. Next, we make the walls smooth and uniform by applying two layers of
plaster and sanding it.
Not all wallpaper removal jobs need plaster skim coating. It adds more time, cost, and mess, but
sometimes it is unavoidable. We find that approximately 5% of the jobs we complete need to add skim
coating because of issues such as cheap wallpaper or improper preparation before installation. We
give you the price up front, and only add to the job as needed.
Small Drywall Repair
Holes in walls happen from old unused systems or kids playing hockey in the house. We will patch the
wall as part of the larger project as if nothing was ever there.
Price
Free, no-obligation quotes
Putting an exact number on the cost of wallpaper removal is difficult because of many factors
including size and height of the room, wallpaper type, how the walls were prepared before
installation, and if the wall has any damage making the removal more difficult. For this reason, we
offer a free, no obligation quote on every part of the job, and also contingency for skim coating if
needed.
Advice
Advice is always free
TC Pro Wallpaper has removed hundreds of rooms worth of wallpaper and we have seen it all. Many
people think it will be easy to remove themselves until they get to one room that doesn’t come off
painstakingly hard or they have gotten advice from someone at the paint counter of a big box store
(who has never removed wallpaper themselves). Homeowners end up starting the jobs and making it
worse. TC Pro Wallpaper has put into place the saying “Advice is always free.” Call us, tell us what is
going on, and we will provide some ideas. Sometimes this turns into jobs for us and sometimes we
receive referrals to other clients. Most importantly, our goal is to help out our community. Call us
