Wallpaper Removal & Installation in Alamogordo
As a homeowner in Alamogordo, you're likely no stranger to the harsh desert climate that comes with living in this high-desert city. The intense sun and dry air can take a toll on your home's interior, making it feel stuffy and outdated. One of the most effective ways to combat this is by updating your wallpaper. With its unique patterns and textures, modern wallpaper can completely transform the look and feel of any room.
But what about those pesky existing layers of old wallpaper? Don't worry, our team specializes in removing even the toughest paper with minimal damage to the wall. We've seen our fair share of peeling paint and crumbling plaster in Alamogordo's homes, particularly those built in the 1970s like many in this city (median year built: 1979). Removing old wallpaper is not only a cosmetic fix but also an opportunity to address any underlying issues with the wall's condition.
Our services range from simple peel-and-stick installations for renters or DIY enthusiasts to full-on paste varieties that require more elbow grease – and expertise. With costs starting at around $500 for small areas and up to $2,000 for larger jobs, we offer a competitive price point for homeowners looking to give their space a fresh new look. Whether you're tackling a single room or the entire house, our experienced team will work with you to ensure a smooth, successful project that leaves your home feeling modern and refreshed.

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.
