Wallpaper Removal in Ottawa & Gatineau
Careful wallpaper removal and wall repair so the surface is ready for a clean, modern paint finish.
Wallpaper removal is rarely as simple as peeling a corner. Old adhesive, multiple layers, and the wall surface underneath all matter. We remove wallpaper carefully, repair the wall, and leave a clean, smooth surface ready for a fresh modern paint finish.
- Careful removal of single or multiple wallpaper layers
- Adhesive residue cleaned off so the next finish bonds
- Wall repair and skim where the surface needs it
- Surface left primed and ready to paint
Older Ottawa walls
Many Ottawa homes have had decades of updates, which often means several layers of wallpaper and, in older houses, plaster rather than drywall underneath. Both change how the paper has to come off and how much repair follows. We take the surface into account before we start, so what is behind the paper does not become a surprise halfway through.

Wallpaper Removal: common questions
Sometimes it is possible, but it is usually not the right call. Seams and texture tend to telegraph through the paint, and any spot where the old adhesive lets go takes the new finish with it. We assess the paper and the wall and give you an honest recommendation rather than painting over a problem.
Careful removal is part of the job, and where the surface does get scuffed or gouged we repair and skim it as part of the work. By the time we prime, the wall is smooth and sound, and once it is painted you would not know wallpaper was ever there.
It depends on the number of layers, the type of adhesive, and the wall underneath, so a single accent wall and a whole papered room are very different jobs. We give you a realistic timeline with your written estimate once we have seen what we are working with.
