Removal, new installation or both
Tell us whether you need old wallpaper removed, new wallpaper installed or the wall prepared for paint afterward. Existing paper may have several layers or an unknown adhesive, so removal can reveal repairs that were not visible at first. Include the product information for any new wallcovering, including roll dimensions and pattern details. Different materials and adhesive systems can change both preparation and installation.
Review the wall after removal
A stable surface is needed before new decoration. Torn drywall facing, loose joint compound and uneven repairs may require attention after the old paper and adhesive are removed. Drywall and wall repair can be included where the substrate is damaged. Recurring bubbles or staining also warrant a moisture review; new paper should not conceal an active source of dampness.
Prepare for the selected wallcovering
The preparation plan accounts for existing texture, old coatings and the product’s requirements for a smooth, compatible surface. Adhesive residue and visibly raised patches can affect the finished appearance. Preparation may be more extensive for a thin or reflective covering than for a product that masks minor surface variation. We clarify the wall condition expected before installation rather than treating hanging the paper as the entire job.
Plan pattern, seams and edge details
Pattern repeat affects both layout and material needs. We consider the focal wall, door and window openings, corners and where a pattern will start or end. Out-of-square rooms and variations in the existing wall can complicate alignment. Provide the same product and batch details for all rolls when available, and discuss how visible seams or natural material variations should look before installation begins.
Protect the room and choose the next finish
Floors, trim and furniture need protection during removal, preparation and hanging. Access along the full wall is important, particularly around radiators or fixed furnishings. If the goal is a painted room after removal, interior painting can follow once the wall is properly prepared. Include disposal of old paper and any trim or fixture work in the agreed scope.
