Clean walls underneath, ready for a fresh coat of paint. Serving homes and businesses throughout Broad Ripple & North Indianapolis and the surrounding Marion County area.
Old wallpaper and its adhesive residue are the single biggest reason a repaint over a former wallpapered wall goes wrong. We steam and score properly, strip paper and glue down to bare drywall or plaster, skim-coat where the surface was damaged in the process, and prime with a wallpaper-blocking primer before any paint goes on.
In Broad Ripple & North Indianapolis, that means working within the character of the local housing stock. Broad Ripple and the surrounding Meridian-Kessler, Butler-Tarkington, and Rocky Ripple pockets are full of character homes — 1920s bungalows, Tudor-style two-stories, and canal-adjacent cottages that reward careful, patient prep work over speed. We do a lot of exterior wood-trim restoration alongside straightforward interior repaints for this part of the North Indy market.

Get Your EstimateWe test-strip a section to understand the paper type, adhesive, and wall surface underneath before pricing the full room.
Paper and backing are steamed and scored for full removal, working carefully to avoid gouging the drywall face.
Remaining adhesive is fully removed, and any paper-facing tears in the drywall are skim-coated and sanded smooth.
A wallpaper-blocking primer sealer is applied so the wall is fully paint-ready with no residue bleed-through risk.
Broad Ripple & North Indianapolis coverage includes Broad Ripple Village, Meridian-Kessler, Butler-Tarkington, Rocky Ripple, SoBro, and the surrounding area.
Some minor paper-facing damage is common, especially on older paper, and we repair and skim-coat it as part of the job — it's priced into the scope, not a surprise add-on.
We test-strip first to see how many layers are present and what adhesive was used, then price accordingly — multiple layers take longer but are absolutely removable.
We don't recommend it — seams, texture, and adhesive almost always show through or fail later. Removal gives a far more reliable, longer-lasting result.
