Professional Wallpaper Removal & Installation
If you are planning a full bathroom remodel or simply trying to update your walls, removing dated wallpaper or heavy popcorn texture is often the first step. At VIP Services, we are the trusted local contractor specializing in seamless removal, detailed drywall repair, and professional re-texturing for a modern, refreshed look.
Expert Wallpaper Removal & Seamless Drywall Repair
We have helped countless clients eliminate dated wallpaper from kitchens and primary bathrooms. Professional removal is a high-demand service that requires expertise to prevent costly damage.
The Problem: Improper Builder Installation
In most homes, the original wallpaper was installed by the builder. As part of a rushed process, builders often skip the critical step of applying “sizing” or a specialized primer to the wallboard prior to installation.
What Sizing Does: Sizing seals the paper coating of the drywall, creating a protective barrier that allows for easy, clean removal of the wallpaper later.
The Damage: When sizing is omitted, the wallpaper is essentially glued directly to the drywall paper. Removing it is extremely difficult, often coming off in small pieces and damaging the fragile paper surface of the wallboard, which then requires extensive and expensive drywall repair after wallpaper removal.
The VIP Services Guaranteed Removal Alternative
If your wallpaper was improperly installed, full water-and-scrape removal can be destructive and time-consuming. Instead, we offer a guaranteed, non-peeling process that saves time and results in a beautiful, finished wall:
- Seal and Secure: We cut and remove any existing peeling or torn wallpaper areas and seal the remaining wallpaper securely with a Shellac-based primer, like Zinsser BIN, to lock the wallpaper firmly to the wall.
- Skim and Smooth: We apply joint-compound over all the wallpaper seams and caulk all edges. If the wallpaper has an embossed texture, we apply a thin coat of joint-compound, a “skim coat,” to cover this existing texture completely.
- Texture Application: The walls are then ready for primer and your preferred texture, ensuring a final product that will not peel or release due to humidity or age.
Our Guarantee: We have utilized this process for over 20 years and have never had a client call us with an issue.
Modern Wall Texturing Options
Once the walls are smooth or sealed, applying a modern texture drastically improves the aesthetic and helps hide minor wall imperfections.
Standard popular textures:
- Knock-down, also called splatter-drag
- Orange-peel
- Custom hand-trowel texture
- Smooth and flat, no texture
Popcorn Ceiling Removal & Retexturing
Popcorn texture removal, also called cottage cheese texture, is a common request at VIP Services. This texture was often applied by builders to cover drywall flaws more easily, requiring less drywall preparation prior to application. Our goal is to replace this dated look with a smooth or refined texture.
Our Detailed VIPS Removal Process
Removal is a timely and messy process that is labor intensive. Without using the right process, ceilings can be damaged, creating costly repairs. Our meticulous process eliminates these issues:
- Complete Protection: Removing or covering, wrapping and taping all furniture, hanging plastic on all walls, and covering floors with two layers of plastic to completely protect delicate surfaces.
- Soaking & Scraping: Soaking the texture with water and careful scraping for complete removal.
- Drywall Refinement: Filling, floating, and sanding exposed tape joints. These areas are often poorly done previously because popcorn texture hides flaws better than modern refined textures.
The Challenging Case: Painted Popcorn
If existing popcorn texture has been painted with an oil-based trim paint or if paint was mixed into the texture before it was applied, removal is extremely difficult, as the water cannot penetrate to soften the texture.
VIPS Solution for Difficult Removal: We recommend dry-scraping with a metal blade to knock down the high points, then floating, filling, and sanding over the remaining existing texture with drywall compound. Once smooth, the new surface can then be sprayed with any preferred texture, providing a smooth ceiling finish.
New Wallpaper Installation Services
If you are looking to install new modern wallpaper in an accent area, the correct preparation is paramount.
Removing Existing Wallpaper: We typically suggest removal of the existing wallpaper prior to installation of new wallpaper, as adhesion is dependent on the quality of the wallpaper underneath.
The Right Prep is Needed: Priming or sizing the surface is paramount before installing any new wallpaper to ensure a perfect, lasting finish:
- Better Adhesion: Sizing ensures wallpaper sticks evenly to the wall surface, reducing the risk of peeling or lifting later.
- Protects Walls: It makes future wallpaper removal easier, reducing the chance of damaging drywall when stripping old wallpaper.
- Reduces Flaws: By controlling how paste interacts with the wall, sizing minimizes air pockets and creases, bubbles and wrinkles.

Bathtub Construction Materials
Your material choice impacts cost, durability, and heat retention, how long the water stays warm.
- Acrylic/Fiberglass: The most common and economical choice. Lightweight, durable, and retains heat well.
- Stone, Natural or Composite: A luxury selection. Requires regular sealing to keep it looking new. Extremely heavy, often requiring additional reinforcement of flooring and framing at 2nd floor or pier-and-beam installations.
- Cast Iron/Porcelain: Heavy and extremely durable. Retains heat exceptionally well, making it a premium choice. The porcelain coating is tough but prone to chipping if severely impacted.
- Cultured Marble: An economical choice, but uncommon in modern, high-end bathroom remodels. Prone to cracking and yellowing over a longer period.
Beyond the Finish: The VIP Difference in Bathroom Remodeling
You deserve more than just a beautiful bathroom. You deserve a stress-free experience getting there.
Every remodeling company promises quality materials and skilled installation—and frankly, delivering a good finished product is the easier part of the job. But what happens during the months-long process? If you’ve heard horror stories from other homeowners, you know that a great result can often come with frustrating delays due to improper planning, poor communication, and a lack of respect for your home.
Our Core Focus: The Unmatched Client Experience
At VIP Services, we don’t just build stunning bathrooms; we build trust through a superior process. Our primary focus is on your peace of mind from day one to final walk-through.
This Is How We Guarantee a Better Experience

- The Right Team & Process: We maintain a dedicated team of professionals who are also trained in our strict standards of communication, punctuality, and job site cleanliness. Your team includes a dedicated Project Planner, a Project Scheduler, and a Project Manager.
- Clear, Consistent Communication: We keep you informed at every milestone. You will always know what to expect next, who will be in your home, and when the project is on track for completion.
We know delivering a high-quality finished product is important, but we believe the process and experience you have while we get there is just as important.

Frequently Asked Questions
