Wallpaper removal in Portland, Tennessee

Wallpaper removal in Portland, TN

Portland sits up on the Highland Rim at I-65 Exit 117, strawberry country, and its wallpaper jobs skew older: farmhouses and in-town homes where the paper went up in the 1980s or earlier and has been painted around ever since.

Wallpaper removal near you in Portland

Around College Street, Market Street and the older streets off Highway 52, we see a lot of kitchen and dining room paper with matching borders, vinyl in bathrooms that has been soaking up steam for thirty years, and the occasional room where two generations of paper are stacked on the same wall. Those jobs come off a layer at a time. There is no rushing them, and anyone who quotes you a fast number over the phone has not seen your walls.

Portland is also where the bare drywall problem shows up most. Paper hung straight on unprimed drywall tears the face of the board if it is pulled dry. We score, soak with Roman remover concentrate in hot water, and lift in small sections to keep the wall intact, then wash the paste down until a palm runs smooth, not tacky. Send photos and rough measurements and you will have a flat quote within one business day.

How much does wallpaper removal cost in Portland?

It depends on the paper, the layers, and what is under it, which is exactly why we quote from photos instead of guessing over the phone. Every quote is flat and in writing before work starts, and most Portland homeowners have their number within one business day. Painted-over and multi-layer jobs price higher than single-layer work, and we flag that from your photos up front, never as a mid-job extra.

  1. Paper and backing fully offNot the face layer. All of it. Backing left behind is future bubbling under your new paint.
  2. Leftover paste washed offOld paste left on a wall ruins the next finish, so it gets washed down with hot water and hand-checked. Run a palm over the wall: smooth, not tacky.
  3. Left the way you want itPrime-ready for new wallpaper, or prime-ready for paint, or painted by the crew. Your call at quote time. Painting is quoted and billed by the crew directly, at their rate. We do not mark it up a dime.
  4. Room left cleanEvery scrap, strip and bag of debris hauled out by us. Floors swept. Completion photos of every wall before we call it done.
