DIY vs. Call a Pro
Score wallpaper with a perforating tool, spray with wallpaper remover solution or fabric softener/water mix, wait 15 minutes, and peel. A steamer works well for stubborn adhesive. Clean residual paste with warm soapy water before painting or re-papering.
Call a professional when:
Hire a professional for large rooms, multiple layers, plaster walls (risk of damage), specialty wallpaper installation (grass cloth, fabric), or if walls need significant repair after removal.
