How Much Does Wallpaper Removal Cost in Atlanta?
Single-layer removal: $1-1.50/sq ft. Multi-layer: $2-3/sq ft. Includes scoring, steaming, scraping, and wall prep. Add $0.50-1.50/sq ft for skim-coating and painting.
Wallpaper removal cost depends primarily on how many layers exist and what adhesive was used. Older wallpapers are generally harder and more expensive to remove.
Typical Pricing in Atlanta
Strippable wallpaper (one layer, modern adhesive): $1-$1.50 per square foot. Standard wallpaper (one layer, older adhesive): $1.50-$2 per square foot. Multiple layers: $2-$3 per square foot. Wall repair after removal (skim-coating, sanding): $0.50-$1.50 per square foot additional. A standard 12x12 bedroom runs $400-$1,000 for removal and wall prep.
What Affects the Cost
Wallpaper applied directly to unprimed drywall is the most expensive to remove — the paper face pulls away but the adhesive backing stays fused to the paper layer of the drywall. This requires extensive skim-coating. OVO Painting handles the full process: removal, wall repair, and repainting in one coordinated project.
