Wallpaper Removal services in Toronto

    Ecopainting uses a very powerful, contractor-grade wallpaper removal solution.
    This amazing solution is derived from natural materials such as clay, starch, and wheat. It has no odour,
    and unlike other commercial brands, it can be used without gloves, eye protection, or room ventilation.

Removing wallpaper should be an easy task for most people and painting contractors. You cover your floors and furniture, wet the surface and start peeling. In reality, most wallpapers are very difficult to remove, with many hours of hard work and the possibillity of damaging the walls behind them. The following are pictures from a customer's kitchen in Richmond Hill. The drywall was badly damaged during wallpaper removal, because of insufficient prep during the installation. Only a latex primer was used and without any curing time.

Ecopainting has a lot of experience removing wallpaper. Even when it was seemingly impossible, we were able to remove wallpaper with minimal damage to the walls and after priming and patching the surface the results were amazing.
Brighid, one of our most valued residential painting clients in Markham, commented:

"Thanks for transforming my 1980s floral wallpaper bedroom! I can always count on you to do a superb job, even when encountering unremovable wallpaper"

When removing wallpaper we follow the following procedures:

  • Move all furniture away from the walls
  • Protect floors and furiture from getting wet
  • Thoroughly wet wallpaper with a commercial grade solution
  • Remove the top and paper backing of wallpaper carefully, to not damage the walls
  • Wash the glue residue completely
  • Prime walls with Zinsser's "Guardz" product or Zinsser's "Odorless" primer
  • Skim-coat and repair drywall as necessary, spot-prine repairs and finally,
  • Paint walls
