Wallpaper Removal in Houston, TX
Professional wallpaper removal and wall prep — no gouges, no paste residue, paint-ready surfaces.
Wallpaper removal is one of the most dreaded DIY projects — and for good reason. Done wrong, it damages the drywall, leaves paste residue that ruins paint, and takes days of frustrating scraping. Rose Painting Group offers professional wallpaper removal that leaves your walls clean, smooth, and paint-ready — no gouges, no residue, no stress.
Our process starts with scoring the wallpaper surface to allow steam and solvent to penetrate. We apply a wallpaper-specific solvent or use a steamer to soften the adhesive, then remove the paper and backing in layers. We're thorough — we remove all adhesive residue, which is the step most DIYers skip and the reason paint fails over freshly stripped walls.
After removal, we inspect the walls for damage, repair any gouges or soft spots, and prime with a stain-blocking primer that seals any residual paste. The result is a smooth, paint-ready surface. Houston homeowners are relieved to hand this project to professionals — and thrilled with the clean, blank canvas that's ready for a fresh coat of paint.

Wallpaper Removal FAQs
How much does wallpaper removal cost in Houston?
Wallpaper removal in Houston typically costs $2–$5 per square foot depending on the wallpaper type, adhesive, number of layers, and wall condition. We give you a clear written estimate after inspecting the walls.
Can you remove wallpaper without damaging the drywall?
Yes. We use a combination of steam, solvent, and gentle scraping — not aggressive force. We score the wallpaper, let the steam or solvent penetrate, and remove it in layers. We repair any minor damage and prime the walls for painting.
How long does wallpaper removal take?
Most rooms take 1–2 days for wallpaper removal: one day to strip the paper and adhesive, and one day to repair and prime the walls. Larger or multi-layered projects may take longer. We give you an exact timeline.
Do I need to prime the walls after removing wallpaper?
Yes. Even after thorough removal, some adhesive residue remains. We prime the walls with a stain-blocking primer that seals any residual paste and provides a proper surface for the new paint to adhere to.
