Wallpaper Removal Resource Guide
What Rochester homeowners should know before starting wallpaper removal.
Why it matters
Removing wallpaper takes patience. We score, soften, and peel paper and glue, then clean and repair the walls so they are ready for fresh paint.

Tips from Constant
- Never paint over wallpaper since seams usually show through.
- Glue left on walls will cause paint to crack.
- Older homes may have several layers, which adds time.
Western New York weather and your home
Rochester's cold winters, wet springs, and humid summers are hard on paint and exterior surfaces. Good prep, the right products, and work done in the right season make a big difference in how long results last. Interior work can be done year round.
