Ames Wallpaper Removal
Paper off, walls made paintable — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches wallpaper removal, and it does not change between Ames and anywhere else we work. What does change is the house: adhesive left on the wall bleeds through fresh paint months later, so the scope gets set on site.
Our Wallpaper Removal scope in Ames
- Torn paper facing repaired and skimmed
- Walls sealed before finish coats
- Paper and backing removed in full
- Remaining adhesive washed off, not painted over
Homes in Ames share conditions with the surrounding Liberty County communities, Liberty (3.1 mi), Hardin (7.2 mi), Kenefick (7.4 mi) among them: the same soils, the same weather load, the same building eras. Older paper hung directly on unprimed drywall takes the face with it and needs skimming.
The numbers on Ames: 1,137 residents (2023 est.) across roughly 3.3 square miles of Liberty County, about 344 people per square mile. Closest communities we also serve: Liberty 3.1 miles out, Hardin 7.2 miles out, Kenefick 7.4 miles out.
Four stages, every time: a free on-site look at your Ames home, a written quote you can hold us to, the work itself done in sequence, and a final walkthrough where you sign off before we do.

Why Ames homeowners call JM Painting
Homeowners in Ames mostly hire us twice: once to see if we are who we say we are, and again for everything after. 20+ years in, that is still the model — earn the small job, keep the standards identical on the big one.
Because we run regular routes through Liberty County, a Ames job is local work for us: Liberty is 3.1 miles away and on the same circuit. That means realistic scheduling, and a crew that comes back quickly if anything needs a touch-up.
