The process begins with a thorough assessment of the wall surface and the type of wallpaper present—whether it is vinyl-coated, fabric-backed, or traditional paper. In many older Syracuse homes, wallpaper may have been applied directly to plaster walls or over multiple previous layers, making removal significantly more labor-intensive. Our team uses professional-grade steamers and chemical solutions designed to penetrate the adhesive without damaging the underlying drywall or plaster. We carefully score the wallpaper to allow the steam or solution to reach the glue, then scrape away the softened material in sections. For stubborn or painted-over wallpaper, we may need to use a combination of techniques, including gentle sanding and repeated steaming. Why does this matter for Syracuse properties? The region’s humid summers and cold winters can cause wallpaper to peel, bubble, or trap moisture against walls, leading to mold or mildew issues behind the paper. Removing old, failing wallpaper is essential before any new painting or wall finishing can be done. Additionally, many Syracuse homes in neighborhoods like Eastwood or DeWittshire feature historic wallpaper patterns that require careful handling to avoid damaging the underlying plaster. Our process includes a final wash-down of the walls to remove all adhesive residue, leaving a smooth, clean surface ready for primer and paint. We also inspect for any damage—cracks, holes, or loose plaster—that may need repair before the next step. This attention to detail ensures that your walls are properly prepared, preventing future peeling or adhesion problems. ## Areas We Cover in Syracuse We provide wallpaper removal services throughout Syracuse and its surrounding communities.
