DIY vs. Professional Wall Paper Removal

It has often been said that wallpaper can make your home look warmer and inviting to anyone who enters or making an office environment feel more comfortable and stress-free. However, when it comes to removing it, that’s a job that’s best suited for skilled professionals. Anyone who has ever tried to DIY wallpaper removal (or hang it for that matter) knows what a sloppy, sticky mess it can be. Suffice it to say, the task can be exhausting and very frustrating and make you wish you’d never gotten started on it. Even if you are trying to save money on the removal, you’d wish you have called in the professional as DIY wallpaper removal jobs usually damage the walls. And getting that repaired costs more.

 

Advantages and Disadvantages of DIY Wallpaper Removal

The greatest advantage of DIY wallpaper removal is that it teaches you patience, because of how tedious of a process that it can be. Furthermore, while it may seem cheaper to do it yourself initially, this doesn’t factor in the amount of time it will take you to do the job. Nor does it take into consideration the cost of repairing any damages that may occur when an inexperienced individual attempts DIY wallpaper removal. So, the only real advantage to this is the money that could potentially be saved barring any problems that may arise.

 

Advantages and Disadvantages of hiring Professionals

There are several advantages to hiring professionals when it comes to removing older wallpaper. The only real disadvantage to hiring professionals is that it will cost more, but just remember, you get what you pay for. Consider these three benefits before making your decision:

 

• The primary benefit is that you won’t have to do the work. Furthermore, if there are any damages, professional wallpaper removers are fully bonded and insured. Best of all, they can remove most wallpaper quickly and efficiently without a struggle.
• Another important benefit is the combined years of experience and expertise that professionals have. That experience pays off in the form of no damage to your property when encountering even the most stubborn and difficult-to-remove wallpaper sheets.
• Finally, think about the continuity and the aftermath. Once the wallpaper has been removed, the mess that’s left behind may not be something you’re prepared to deal with. Hiring professionals ensures that you won’t have to worry about cleaning up the mess because they will do this for you.
