Wallpaper Removal & Installation in Abbotsford
In Abbotsford's cold climate, homeowners face unique challenges with their walls. As the temperature drops and snowfall increases, so does the risk of damage to existing wallpaper. The 45" annual snowfall can lead to ice dams forming on roofs, which can seep into walls and cause water damage. Meanwhile, heavy leaf fall in autumn clogs gutters, putting additional stress on home maintenance.
Considering the median household income of $59,943 and median home value of $135,600, many homeowners may not have the budget for costly repairs or replacements. However, wallpaper removal and installation can be a cost-effective solution to refresh their space without breaking the bank. Our service offers a range of options, from peel-and-stick to traditional paste varieties, ensuring a fresh look that suits your style and budget.
For homeowners with older homes like Abbotsford's 1977 median build year, removing old wallpaper can also be an opportunity to inspect underlying conditions, such as cracks in the drywall or water damage. Our expert installers will assess the wall condition underneath before applying new wallpaper, ensuring a secure and long-lasting installation that withstands the region's extreme temperatures and weather patterns.

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.
