Greater Uptown Wallpaper Removal
the Greater Uptown area of Houston sits inside Harris County, and the housing stock changes street to street. We set the wallpaper removal scope after looking at your house rather than off a price sheet, because Older paper hung directly on unprimed drywall takes the face with it and needs skimming.
Our Wallpaper Removal scope in Greater Uptown
- Paper and backing removed in full
- Remaining adhesive washed off, not painted over
- Torn paper facing repaired and skimmed
- Walls sealed before finish coats
Greater Uptown is one of the City of Houston's designated super neighborhoods, which means city permitting and inspection rules apply rather than a suburban city's. We confirm what a given scope needs before work starts.
The process is deliberately boring. Estimate first, in person and free. Scope second, in writing. Then the wallpaper removal itself, and finally a walk of the finished work with you at your Greater Uptown home before the job is called done.
