Our process
How a wallpaper removal & wall prep project actually runs.
No mystery, no surprises. Here's exactly what to expect from the first walkthrough to the final coat.
- 02
Written estimate within 48 hours
You'll get a line-item proposal — labor, materials, prep, finish, timeline — with no upsells, no vague allowances. The number you sign is the number you pay, barring scope changes you approve in writing.
- 03
Color & material selection
We bring fan decks, large-format samples, and finish boards to your home. Light, sightlines, and existing finishes change everything — we sample on your walls before any commitment.
- 04
Prep — the part nobody photographs
Furniture moved and covered. Floors masked. Patches, sanding, caulking, and priming. 70% of finish quality is set before the first coat — and we treat it that way.
- 05
Finish, by hand and by spray
Premium coatings, hand-cut lines, even rolls, and HVLP spraying where it earns its keep. Two finish coats are standard. We work clean and we work quietly.
