Wallpaper Off, Clean Walls Ready Fast

When wallpaper overstays its welcome, it can make your home or business look dated. Peeling it off yourself might leave you with torn drywall or sticky leftovers that are hard to deal with. That’s where we come in. At Linsy Painting & Decorating, we remove wallpaper properly, not just peel it off. We know the different types of wallpaper—vinyl, fabric-backed, even the old stuff—and how to deal with each without damaging your wall underneath. If your walls need sanding or extra prep afterward, we handle that, too. We don’t just remove paper; we leave your walls ready for whatever’s next, whether it’s painting or another finish. Many of our clients call us after trying it themselves and realizing it’s more work than they expected. Our tools and experience let us get it done faster, with better results. We also clean up fully, so you’re not left with piles of paper scraps or a sticky mess. No need to hire one person for removal and another for painting—we can handle both.

We are trusted by a lot of people from all over the Richmond, California.

Why Choose Us

Frequently Ask Questions

Can wallpaper be painted over instead of removed?
Yes, but it’s not always the best choice. Painting over wallpaper can lead to uneven results or peeling later, especially if the wallpaper is textured or damaged. Removing it first gives a smoother, longer-lasting finish for any future paint job.
No, we work safely around all electrical fixtures. We turn off the power when needed and carefully remove the wallpaper around outlets and switches. If necessary, we’ll remove the cover plates and reinstall them once the wall is clean.
Yes, we remove wallpaper from ceilings as well. It’s more difficult due to height and angles, but our team has the tools and ladders needed to handle ceiling wallpaper safely and efficiently without damaging the surface.
