Wallpaper Removal: Pleasantville Area, Harris County

the Pleasantville Area 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.

What the work involves

Our Wallpaper Removal scope in Pleasantville Area

  • Torn paper facing repaired and skimmed
  • Walls sealed before finish coats
  • Paper and backing removed in full
  • Remaining adhesive washed off, not painted over

Pleasantville Area 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.

We do not quote wallpaper removal sight unseen. Someone comes out to Pleasantville Area, measures and inspects, and you get a scope that says what is included and what is not before you commit to anything.
