Is your home ready for a sophisticated transformation? Wallpaper is the ultimate way to add texture, depth, and personality to a space. However, a high-end wallcovering is only as good as its installation.

Our Wallpaper Preparation Process for Bergen County Homes

The secret to a wallpaper job that doesn’t bubble or peel is what happens before the paste is applied. At Perfection Plus, we emphasize Meticulous Surface Preparation:

Wall Inspection & Defect Detection:
We inspect every roll for factory flaws before the first cut is made—a critical step that saves homeowners thousands in wasted material.
Sizing & Priming:
We apply specialized wallpaper primers to ensure proper adhesion. This also ensures that when you’re ready to redecorate in the future, the paper can be removed without damaging the drywall.
Adhesive Selection:
Whether it’s clay-based, clear-set, or heavy-duty vinyl adhesive, we match the chemistry of the paste to the specific requirements of your paper.

“After 40 years in Bergen County, we’ve seen every wallpaper disaster imaginable; that’s why our prep process is so rigid.”

Professional Wallpaper Removal: A Science, Not a Demolition

Removing old wallpaper shouldn’t be a nightmare. At Perfection Plus Painting, we treat every removal with technical precision. While we aim for a flawless transition, the success of any removal depends heavily on the wall’s history.

The Goal: Zero Damage.
In the vast majority of our projects, our specialized techniques allow us to remove wallcoverings with zero to minimal impact on the underlying surface. When walls were properly primed during the original installation, we can typically return them to a “like-new” state with ease.
The Reality of Unprimed Walls:
If your wallpaper was previously applied without proper priming, the adhesive may have “bonded” to the wall’s surface. In these rare cases, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to remove. That’s why proper preperation is imperative.
Our Expertise is Your Protection:
This is where our 40 years of experience matters most. Sometimes even the most careful professional removal can cause wall damage, such as surface fuzzing or lifting. Our expertise is your protection—we pivot our process to minimize this impact and perform expert repairs to return your walls to a smooth, stable surface.

Regardless of the initial condition, we ensure your walls are clean, smooth, and structurally sound—providing the perfect canvas for your next premium paint finish or designer wallcovering.
