Wallpaper Removal: Minnetex, Harris County
Paper off, walls made paintable — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches wallpaper removal, and it does not change between the Minnetex 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 Minnetex
- Torn paper facing repaired and skimmed
- Walls sealed before finish coats
- Paper and backing removed in full
- Remaining adhesive washed off, not painted over
Minnetex 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.
A wallpaper removal job in Minnetex starts with a free walkthrough, moves to a written scope you approve, then the work itself, then a punch walk with you before we call it finished.
