What does wallpaper removal actually include?

Short version for Settegast homeowners: the preparation is in the scope, not an upsell. Remaining adhesive washed off, not painted over.

How long will the work take?

That is set by your scope, and the quote for your Settegast job states the working days we expect. Adhesive left on the wall bleeds through fresh paint months later.

Are you licensed and insured?

Licensed & Insured, with documentation available up front. Ask when we come out to Settegast for the walkthrough and we will bring it.

Do you take on small wallpaper removal jobs?

Yes. No minimum theatrics: if the Settegast job is worth doing, it is worth doing right, and it gets the same written scope as a full remodel.

Do you cover Settegast?

Settegast is home turf: it sits in Harris County, which we cover end to end, so there is no travel surcharge and no long wait for a crew.

Your Settegast Wallpaper Removal Crew

JM Painting & Remodeling handles wallpaper removal throughout the Settegast area of Houston. Paper off, walls made paintable. Every Settegast job runs the same way regardless of how large it is: the surface gets prepared before anything is applied, and no step gets skipped at your house because it is hidden once the work is finished.

What the work involves

Our Wallpaper Removal scope in Settegast

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

Homes in Settegast 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.

Here is the order of operations in Settegast: we look at the work in person, price it in writing, book a start date you agree to, do the job, and walk your Settegast project with you at the end. No stage gets skipped and nothing gets added without your say.

Why us

Why Settegast homeowners call JM Painting

We are not the cheapest bid in Harris County and do not try to be. The bid that skips preparation is cheaper right up until the work fails, and our Settegast customers tend to be people who have bought that lesson once already.

Touch-ups and callbacks are where distance shows. Harris County is a standing route for our crews, so coming back to Settegast to make something right is a detour, not a lost day, and it actually happens.
