Eastex-Jensen 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 the Eastex-Jensen area of Houston 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 Eastex-Jensen
- 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 Eastex-Jensen share the conditions of the surrounding Harris County communities: 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.
We do not quote wallpaper removal sight unseen. Someone comes out to Eastex-Jensen, measures and inspects, and you get a scope that says what is included and what is not before you commit to anything.
