Hire A Professional For Wallpaper Removal and Installation

Are you getting tired of looking at that same drab wallpaper that you've wanted to replace for the last decade? Are you getting ready to sell your home and want an inexpensive way to boost its value and attract buyers? You might want to tackle the job on your own, but it's not as simple as just placing new wallpaper over old wallpaper. You have to remove the old wallpaper and start from scratch carefully.

Out with the old and in with the new sounds easy enough, but the wallpaper removal and replacement process can require special tools, be incredibly tedious, and consume much of your time. If the wallpaper has been painted over, it presents even more problems. Let Pro Paint & Finish tackle the job and do it right the first time around. Here are a few reasons why this job should be best left to a professional:

1.Doing It Yourself Means Risking Damage

We've all been there—we tackle a project that we're not very experienced with, and mistakes happen throughout the learning process. Wallpaper removal can create even more work and headaches. For example, if the wallpaper has been painted over, it requires special equipment like a steamer to remove it. If you're unfamiliar with the equipment, you can damage your walls and need expensive repair work. Then you'll end up paying for the repairs and a professional to finish your wallpapering efforts.

2. The Tools Aren't Cheap

If this is your first wallpaper removal and installation job, you will not likely have the tools needed to do the job right. If you don't have all the tools necessary, you risk damaging your walls or tripling your job's duration. If you go out and buy all the tools, you'll have paid substantially more than it costs to hire a professional. You'll need a ladder, spray bottles, scoring tools, a putty knife to scrape the paper off one at a time, drop cloths, cleaning chemicals, protective wear, and so much more. Sure, you'll have the tools, but unless you plan on making it a hobby, it's unlikely they'll ever pay for themselves.

3. Time is Valuable

Not only could you be doing something that you enjoy instead of tackling yet another home project, but you're making the rooms in your home unusable while you remove and reinstall large areas of wallpaper. A professional from Pro Paint & Finish can be in and out quickly so that you get back to doing the things you love. 

4. A Professional Can Guide Your Designs

Sometimes homeowners make styling choices that look good on paper (no pun intended) but don't pan out once everything is said and done. At Pro Paint & Finish, we provide expert interior design guidance and professional color consulting. The last thing you want is to be stuck with wallpaper that doesn't mesh with the rest of your home.
