Wallpaper Removal Sounds Simple Until You Try It
Most homeowners who have attempted wallpaper removal on their own understand quickly that the process is considerably more involved than it appears from the outside. Old wallpaper, particularly in Connecticut homes with some age to them, does not simply peel off in satisfying sheets. It comes off in fragments, leaves adhesive residue on the wall surface, and frequently takes sections of drywall facing paper with it when the technique is wrong or the walls were never properly sized before the paper was hung.
The damage that aggressive or impatient wallpaper removal causes to the underlying wall surface often costs more to repair than the removal itself would have if done properly in the first place. Torn drywall facing, gouged surfaces, and adhesive residue left behind all need to be addressed before any new wall treatment can be applied, and addressing them adds time and cost that proper removal technique prevents.
JK Evans Painting has been removing wallpaper and restoring wall surfaces across Trumbull and Fairfield County for over 35 years. Our wallpaper removal service is designed with the prime objective of protecting the wall surface below so that the new wallpaper or paint, or whatever else is to be applied later, will be applied properly and look good.
- Our Mission
How Professional Wallpaper Removal Actually Works
Professional wallpaper removal is a process that’s methodical and not aggressive and patience is the key to protecting the wall surface during the process.
The first thing to do is to determine the type of wallpaper on the wall, the number of layers involved and the condition of the underlying wall surface. Some wallpapers have a strippable facing layer that can be dry stripped prior to tackling the adhesive backing. Others are completely adhered and must be scored and soaked in a solution for the adhesive to be dissolved without harming the material beneath.
Our professional wallpaper stripping service also employs high-quality scoring tools and wallpaper removal solutions applied in the correct manner, leaving the wallpaper’s adhesive peeled away without over-saturating the drywall below. One of the most frequent wall damage problems during wallpaper removal is over-wetting, and it is a matter of experience to know how different wall surfaces react to moisture.
After the paper is taken off, all the adhesive remaining on the wall surface is cleaned. This is important because adhesion that remains on the wall will lead to inconsistent adhesion of the paint, resulting in a sheen variation and adhesion problems once the paint is dry. Walls are then inspected for damage, patched up if necessary, and adequately cleaned for the next phase.
What Comes After the Wallpaper
A single team for wallpaper removal and painting service yeild superior results than having two separate contractors perform the two tasks. As our crew takes off the wallpaper and evaluates the condition of the wall, gives it a makeover, and then the paint, each and every choice is made with the final wall in mind.
One of the most crucial things to consider is the primer that is used after the removal of wallpaper. Previously papered walls may have remaining glue on their surface and irregularities that need a particular primer to seal before finishing paint is applied. If this step is neglected or a general-purpose primer is applied, the surface will be painted and reveal all imperfections in the wall, and could have adhesion problems in the future.
From removal to preparation and painting, we handle the entire job as one coordinated project so that the finished wall looks right and performs well, and is not a “history of what was behind the paint”.

Residential and Commercial Wallpaper Removal
Our residential wallpaper removal work covers single rooms, full floors, and entire homes across Fairfield County. Every project is assessed individually because the variables, wallpaper type, number of layers, wall construction, and adhesive condition, are different on every job. For commercial wallpaper removal, we work with property managers, business owners, and landlords across Fairfield County who need wall coverings removed and surfaces restored efficiently. Commercial wallpaper removal in occupied or partially occupied buildings is scheduled and managed to minimize disruption while completing the work to a professional standard.

Wallpaper Removal Services Across Trumbull and Fairfield County
Wallpaper removal projects across Fairfield County bring us into homes of every age, construction type, and wall condition. Each one gets assessed on its own terms before any work begins because what the wall needs to come out of the process in good condition depends entirely on what went into it originally.
Trumbull, CT
Trumbull homes range from post-war builds with plaster walls to newer drywall construction, and each type responds differently to the removal process. Our experience across this range of Trumbull properties means we know what to expect and how to handle it before the first seam is lifted.
Westport, CT
Older Westport properties sometimes carry wallpaper that was installed decades ago over surfaces that were never properly sized. Removing it without damaging the wall underneath requires patience and the right technique, and that is exactly what our team brings to every Westport removal project.
Shelton, CT
Shelton homeowners who have tried removing wallpaper themselves and run into trouble call us to finish what they started and repair what got damaged in the process. We handle both without making the homeowner feel worse about the attempt.
Wilton, CT
When customers at Wilton properties want to replace wallpaper with painted walls, it’s important that the change doesn’t leave behind any sign or mark of the old wallpaper. When the preparation is not done properly, the adhesive residue, damage to the surface, and irregular priming will be revealed by fresh paint. We make sure it is.
Weston, CT
When you hire a Weston wallpaper removal service, you will end up with walls that are clean, mended, primed and ready to receive the next application of paint or wallpaper the way a professionally prepared surface should.
