Wallpaper Installation /Removal

Productive Painting offers wallpaper removal and install services for your commercial space. Wallpaper just like paint may become outdated with time. Wallpaper can add a dramatic touch to any commercial space, enhancing branding, creating unique atmospheres, and improving employee and customer experience. Our expert paperhanger is experienced and has the knowledge and skill to make your space incredible.

Wallpaper removal requires patience and skill. Removing the paper requires defined steps to ensure damage is not made to the walls. The surface is scraped carefully with a mixture of hot water and an enzyme-based product to ensure the wallpaper peels, surface areas that do leave a crack or gouge will be addressed. In certain situations where the walls were not properly prepared before hanging the wallpaper, it may be more difficult to remove. If the wallpaper was applied directly to the bare drywall,

drywall may become damaged in the process of removing wallpaper. In this situation, the best option may be to prime over the existing wallpaper, then skim coat the walls with drywall mud or joint compound. If you choose the option to paint once the wallpaper has been removed, we take the proper steps to ensure the paint job comes out correctly. We will rinse down the walls; apply a coat of oil base sealer to cover any paste residue left behind.

Wallpaper is a terrific way to add style and personality to any room. It can be used to create a focal point, add color and pattern, or simply cover up imperfections in the walls. It can transform a space by providing texture and dimension. Wallpaper adds color, warmth, depth, and character to a space. With so many selections you will be sure to find the right wall covering. It is important to go over and select the wall covering of choice before a date for installation can be scheduled. Our licensed paper hanger will come take measurements and the installer assesses the surface area. We will check with the manufacturer to ensure they have the selection and amount necessary to do the job.

The paperhanger installers are skilled; they provide quality and excellence by matching patterns and making the pattern appear seamless.

Installation:

1. Choosing the right wallpaper:

  • Commercial-grade vinyl: Opt for durable, wipeable vinyl wallpapers specifically designed for high-traffic areas. They resist moisture, scratches, and fading, making them ideal for offices, restaurants, and retail stores.
  • Commercial grade vinyl wallpaper
  • Pattern and color: Consider your brand identity and desired ambiance. Bold patterns can make a statement, while textured or neutral tones can create a calming or sophisticated feel.
  • Bold patterned wallpaper
  • Fire rating: Ensure the wallpaper meets fire safety regulations for commercial buildings.


2. Preparing the walls:

  • Smooth surface: Walls should be free of cracks, holes, and unevenness. Patch any imperfections and sand for a smooth finish.
  • Patching and sanding walls
  • Primer application: Apply a primer suitable for both the wallpaper and the wall surface. This ensures proper adhesion and prevents moisture problems.


3. Professional installation:

  • Hiring experienced commercial wallpaper installers is crucial. They have the expertise and tools to handle large-scale projects, complex patterns, and ensure a seamless finish.

Removal:

  1. Safety first: Turn off electricity and remove any furniture or fixtures from the area. Wear protective gloves and eyewear to avoid dust and debris.
  2. Identifying the adhesive: Knowing the type of adhesive used helps determine the removal method. Water-based adhesives are easier to remove than solvent-based ones.
  3. Scoring and steaming: Gently score the wallpaper with a special tool to loosen the adhesive. Use a professional steamer to further soften the adhesive and carefully peel off the wallpaper.
  4. Patching and cleaning: Remove any remaining adhesive residue and patch any imperfections on the wall surface. Prime and repaint the walls if necessary.


Additional considerations:

  • Budget: Factor in the cost of wallpaper, primer, removal (if applicable), and professional installation.
  • Maintenance: Vinyl wallpapers are generally low-maintenance and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. However, some patterns or textures might require specialized cleaning methods.
  • Durability: Commercial-grade wallpapers are designed to withstand wear and tear, but heavy traffic areas might require touch-ups over time.
