Custom Painting, Inc. knows that removing wallpaper in Bay Area, CA, commercial buildings can be a long and tedious process. It’s also a tricky job that results in unnecessary damage to your walls, leading to costly repairs. We will take away your frustrations by doing the job for you.
We employ the best commercial painters in the Bay Area and use only the highest-quality tools available for removing wallpaper, from scraping and sanding to using industrial steamers.
Our years of experience in working with various types of wallpaper have enabled us to use the right tools and applications to ensure that the removal process is done correctly and efficiently. The result is clean and smooth interior walls ready for a new wallpaper style – or, better yet, new paint.
The need for wallpaper removal
Wallpaper is commonly found in homes, but it can also be seen in many offices and commercial buildings in Fremont, CA. There are many advantages to wallpaper and vinyl wall coverings, including a wide range of colors and styles available, overall durability, washability, and the ability to hide surface flaws.
However, the main problem of wallpaper is the style, which can become obsolete in 5 to 10 years after installation. You must have known that as a business owner, styles continue to evolve to cater to the changing preferences of your clients.
Mold and mildew are another problem with wallpaper. They typically settle behind the wall covering due to the moisture intrusion behind it and the wall, thus having no way to escape. Vinyl wall coverings, in particular, do not usually reveal those moldy spots due to the durability and stain-blocking nature of the coverings.
And when you finally want to get rid of your wallpaper and refresh the look of your walls, wallpaper removal can be a pain in the neck – literally as well as figuratively. Mess aside, there’s a chance of damaging your walls if the removal process isn’t done correctly.
Thus, wallpaper removal is a delicate process that requires patience and time. It can also benefit greatly from trained and experienced professionals. They have the right tools and techniques to ensure that the wallpaper is removed correctly while leaving the walls intact.
Our wallpaper removal services
Custom Painting, Inc. provides reliable and efficient wallpaper removal services to residential and commercial properties in Dublin, CA, and other Bay Area cities. We identify the type of wallpaper that’s currently on your walls to determine the appropriate tools and techniques for removal.
Each wall and wallpaper is different, so we tailor our services to different types of commercial spaces, wallpaper types, and wallpaper conditions. For example, if you’re using the standard strippable wallpaper on your drywall, we soak the wallpaper thoroughly so that its glue softens on the wall without getting the drywall too wet. Then we score the wallpaper, peel it carefully, and then remove any residual paper and glue. The result is a smooth and clean surface ready for a new wall covering or paint.
Several layers of old wallpaper or vinyl wall coverings are more challenging to remove. We may prolong soaking, use solvents, or use an industrial steamer to effectively remove such wallpaper from the surface while keeping the walls as intact as possible.
Whether you want to install new wallpaper or new paint (which, in our opinion, is the better option), we usually prime the walls to achieve better new wallpaper installation or paint adhesion.

Our wallpaper removal approach usually consists of the following:
- Initial assessment by identifying the type of wallpaper to determine the appropriate tools and techniques for removal.
- Preparation of the workspace by removing wall décor and other installations, taking away or covering furniture, covering the floors, and taping baseboards or trim (if any).
- Actual removal of the wallpaper from the walls.
