Removing wallpaper from powder room, steps and pricing

Time to freshen the Powder Room.

One easy room to change would be the first floor powder room which usually consist of a sink/vanity and toilet.

This room is the bathroom all the guests of the home use when visiting.  Keeping this room fresh and up to date is an easy project.

I will walk thru a project we recently completed that changed a powder room from wallpaper to a fresh coat of paint. (please view the before picture on the right)

Lets get started:

1. remove everything from the bathroom (pictures, mirror,ect)
2. protect floor with plastic and drop cloth
3. apply wallpaper remover to all walls and remove wallpaper.
4. use hot water and remover to remove glue from wallboard or plaster.
5. light sand when walls are dry/
6. oil prime all walls to lock down any missed glue residue.
7. sand if needed.
8. repaint all walls with two coats of your favorite color paint.

Tips:

• be careful of ceiling with wallpaper chemical application as it will stain ceiling.
• wipe down woodwork while wallpaper is still wet or it will dry and be difficult to remove.
• The floor will get slippery, watch were you walk as you leave bathroom as wallpaper will stick to the bottom of your feet and track around the house.

This is a couple day project and inclusive of wallpaper removal and wall repaint was less than $ 900.00. please note; this wallpaper was installed professionally when it was originally installed and was removed as planned and the room did not need excess wall repairs.
