Hi all! I was wondering if anyone knew of a company/person that does wallpaper removal. I have tried every product known to man to do it myself but it seems as though whoever hung it did not size the walls first and just applied it directly to the sheet rock. (Totally aggravating..) Thus it is ripping the sheet rock paper and I really don't want to spend a year mudding and sanding nor do I want textured walls. Anyone had someone remove wallpaper that did a great job and didn't charge a fortune? Thanks a bunch in advance for any leads.
Hi J.. My husband removes wallpaper, hangs it and does painting. I have helped him with the removals for years--lots of fun!! If you still need help just give us a call. Good luck!

A steamer works great! It is a little time consuming, but so much easier than trying all those solutions. I borrowed one from a friend, but you can rent them at stores like Sherwin Williams, or any of those who sell wall paper/paint.
I also found that a steamer works ... I rented one from one of the local rental places. I also found that you might have to score the walls...but do it gently not go gouge the walls. I had 4 layers of wallpaper with 2 layers of paint betwoeen some layers and this did take if off...slowly, but it did.

I can relate! When we moved into our house, almost every room had OLD wallpaper. Several rooms had 2 or more layers, one room had 4 layers...YIKES!
The only thing that trully worked excellent was a steamer!
Well worth the money and time. I too had tried everything else...vinegar and water, fabric softner, commercial products. The steamer and a plastic paint scraper worked great! It is messy though.
For a great job and a reasonable price, call Keith Gingrich at ###-###-#### or his cell number, ###-###-####
He did a great job fixing up my Mother-In-Law's old house. He got the tough old wallpaper off, sealed the walls, and made it ready to refinish.
The job went very well, and he did not charge a fortune!
