Toronto Painters: The Process of Removing Old Wallpaper Off Your Walls

As a Toronto homeowner, you are probably sick of looking at the same old wallpaper. Perhaps it came with the house when you bought it, or you may have chosen it yourself years ago, but have grown tired of it.

Rather than taking the wallpaper down yourself, it’s always best to trust a painting contractor to handle the wallpaper stripping for you. Painters Painting Toronto have been stripping wallpaper off walls for over twenty years - with precision and attention to detail.

The Toronto painting contractors will make sure fixtures and furniture are unaffected with removing and/or changing your wallpaper. Your belongings will be protected with plastic sheets to ensure their safety. Fixtures may be screwed off during the process, and put back on once the project has been completed.

Depending on the texture, Painters Painting Toronto will remove some wallpaper dry, while others may need chemical strippers. The Toronto wallpaper carpenters will not allow toxic fumes to linger in your household, if chemical stripper is to be used. In fact, windows, fans and vents will be utilized for air clarity. Further, Painters Painting Toronto uses eco-friendly, low VOC products.

You can expect to see interesting tools when Painters Painting Toronto peels off your wallpaper, such as putty knives and wallpaper scoring tools. Carpenter tools such as these are designed to prevent the Toronto painting contractor from cutting the drywall behind the wallpaper.

Painters Painting Toronto will wet parts of your wallpaper with a paint roller that has been soaked in warm water, which will soften the glue behind the wallpaper for easy peeling. Each sheet will be peeled off at a 45 degree angle, rather than shredded. The Toronto painting contractors will do all they can to minimize a mess when purging your walls.

With wallpaper that has been on surfaces for several years, Painters Painting Toronto will sand off tough areas with 80-grit sandpaper, then use paint primers for best results. Once the walls are bare, they will be washed with a mix of TSP solution and water. This will give your surfaces a new, smooth look. From here, Painters Painting Toronto can apply all new wallpaper to your walls, or apply a fresh coat of paint to them instead.

Painters Painting Toronto has been stripping wallpaper for over 22 years, and each project comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. For more information, call 416-618-0400 or visit the official website at www.painterspaintingtoronto.com today!
