Wallpaper Removal Services in Orlando, Florida
Wallpaper removal is often the first step in refreshing a home's interior, whether you're preparing a master bedroom in Lake Nona for repainting or updating a powder room in Winter Park. Outdated or peeling wallpaper can make even recently remodeled spaces look tired, and attempting DIY removal often damages drywall or leaves adhesive residue behind. Renovating Central Florida LLC removes all types of wallpaper-vinyl, paper-backed, grasscloth, and foil finishes-from single rooms to entire homes across Orlando, Sanford, Altamonte Springs, and surrounding communities. We assess each project individually, using either steam removal for stubborn coverings or chemical stripping for delicate walls, then repair and prepare surfaces for your next design phase.
Our wallpaper removal process begins with an on-site assessment where we evaluate the wallpaper type, wall condition, and scope of work-this typically takes 15-20 minutes for a consultation. We then apply either hot steam or eco-friendly chemical solutions to loosen adhesive, allowing us to gently peel wallpaper without gouging drywall. Once removal is complete, we sand rough spots, fill any wall imperfections with spackling compound, and prime the surface, leaving it ready for paint or new wallcoverings within 24-48 hours. For larger projects spanning multiple rooms or entire homes in subdivisions like Celebration, Hunters Creek, or Oviedo, we coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your household.

Our Wallpaper Removal Process
Initial Assessment and Quote
We inspect your Orlando-area home to identify wallpaper type, wall condition, and project scope. Most consultations take 15-20 minutes, and we provide a written quote within 24 hours covering labor, materials, and timeline for neighborhoods like Waterford Lakes, Union Park, or Goldenrod.
Wallpaper Removal Using Steam or Chemical Methods
Our team applies hot steam or eco-friendly chemical strippers to loosen adhesive, then carefully peels wallpaper by hand. This phase typically takes 6-10 hours for a standard 300-400 sq ft room, completed in one working day.
Surface Preparation and Repair
After wallpaper removal, we sand rough spots, fill gouges with spackling compound, and repair any drywall damage. Most prep work is finished within 24 hours, with primer applied the same day in homes across Casselberry, Winter Park, or Lake Mary.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
We inspect all walls, apply touch-up primer, and remove all debris and waste materials. Your home is left clean and ready for painting or new wallcoverings, typically completed within 1-3 days of initial work start.
