Wallpaper Removal Services in Ocala & The Villages
Wallpaper Removal Done Right — The First Time
Removing old wallpaper is one of the most frustrating and time-consuming jobs a homeowner can tackle. If it’s not done properly, you’re left with torn drywall, sticky adhesive residue, and costly repairs that have to be finished before anything else can happen.
At CertaPro Painters® of Ocala & The Villages, our crews use professional-grade tools — from precision scrapers to industrial steamers — matched to your specific wallpaper type and application. We work efficiently without tearing up your walls, so your home is ready for paint or whatever comes next.
Please note: we specialize in wallpaper removal only and do not offer wallpaper installation services.
The Wallpaper Removal Process
We treat your Ocala or Villages home like our own. Here’s exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Initial Walkthrough
We walk through your home with you to understand the full scope — whether it's one accent wall or an entire house. Clear communication before the job starts means no surprises when it's done.
Remove Wallpaper
Our team carefully lifts the paper to protect your walls. For stubborn applications — common in older Central Florida homes — we use industrial steamers to loosen adhesive without gouging the drywall beneath.
Repair
Once the wallpaper is gone, we address any surface damage. We apply skim coats and sand thoroughly so you're left with a smooth, paint-ready wall — not a patchy mess.
Prime
We clean the wall and apply a professional primer. This step is essential after wallpaper removal — it seals the surface and prevents the old adhesive from telegraphing through your new paint.
Paint Your Walls
If you've chosen a new color, we finish the project with a fresh coat of interior paint. You'll have a clean, bright, modern room — a complete transformation from start to finish.

Why Choose Professional Wallpaper Removal?
DIY wallpaper removal attempts frequently cause wall damage that costs more to fix than hiring professionals would have in the first place. Here’s what sets our team apart.

Central Florida's humidity affects how adhesive bonds. Our crews know how local conditions impact removal, and plan accordingly.

A Note for Ocala & The Villages Homeowners: Many homes in our area were built in the 1980s–2000s when wallpaper was extremely popular — especially in bathrooms, kitchens, and dining rooms. That means older adhesive, sometimes multiple layers, and drywall that hasn’t been touched in decades. Our team has extensive experience with exactly these conditions.
What Affects Wallpaper Removal Cost?
Every job is different. The best way to get an accurate price is a free on-site estimate — but here are the main factors we consider:
The following factors influence the price of removing wallpaper from your home:
- Room Size & Layout: More square footage means more time and materials. Complex layouts with lots of corners or built-ins take longer.
- Age of Wallpaper: The longer wallpaper has been applied, the more firmly the adhesive has bonded. Older paper in older homes typically takes more labor.
- Adhesive Amount & Type: Heavier glue applications — common in older Central Florida homes — require more treatment to fully remove.
- Existing Wall Condition: If prior DIY attempts already damaged the drywall, repair time increases. We’ll assess this during your walkthrough.
For an accurate idea of our prices, it is always best to get in touch with CertaPro Painters® of Ocala and The Villages for a free estimate of your particular job. We will price based on your individual needs, and offer an estimate for combined jobs that include wallpaper removal, color consultations, or painting services.
Since these jobs occasionally are delivered within the same day or in quick succession of each other, these combined solutions are often extremely cost-effective, time-saving, and practical.
