Wallpaper Removal in Carmel, IN
Wallpaper, borders and layers of paste stripped clean — walls skim-coated, primed and painted so no one will know it was ever there.
3-Year Written WarrantyThe wall behind the wallpaper is the real job.
Removing wallpaper is easy to start and hard to finish well. Paste residue, torn drywall paper and old damage all show through paint if they are not dealt with — which is why so many DIY removals end with a call to us.
We score and steam the paper, wash the paste off completely, repair torn areas, skim-coat the wall smooth, seal it with a primer made for the job, and paint. Bathrooms, powder rooms, dining rooms and nurseries are our most common calls.
What’s included
- Scoring, steaming and stripping every layer of paper
- Complete paste removal — washed until the wall is clean
- Torn drywall paper and gouges repaired
- Skim coat for a flat, smooth wall
- Sealing primer made for post-wallpaper walls
- Two coats of premium paint in your new color
Painting done the way a premium home deserves.
Paste completely removed
Leftover adhesive is the number one cause of bubbling paint. We wash until the wall squeaks.
Skim-coated smooth
Torn paper and gouges are floated out so the finished wall is flat.
Sealed, then painted
The right primer locks down the surface so the new paint stays put.

What homeowners say about us
“Had my entire 1,700 sq ft home painted — walls, ceilings, trim and doors. Alfredo took me through the process from start to finish. The crew showed up every day, worked hard and finished earlier than expected. My house looks like it did 24 years ago when it was brand new.”
“It’s been 11 months since Alfredo and his team painted the exterior of our home. It still looks great, which is a testament to the paint job. The team worked hard, were respectful of our home, and got it done in a reasonable time frame.”
“Had 2 bedrooms and an office painted last week in 2 days. The 3 members of the AltaVista team did incredible work and we are very pleased. I’d highly recommend them to anyone.”

Questions homeowners ask before booking
Still wondering about something? Call (317) 850-8212 — a real person answers.
How much does wallpaper removal cost?
It depends on the number of layers, whether the wall was primed before papering and how much repair is needed. We look in person and give a fixed written price for removal, repair and paint together.
Can you paint over wallpaper instead?
We do not recommend it — seams and texture show through and any future removal becomes much harder. Removal done right is the lasting fix.
How long does it take?
A powder room takes a day; a dining room or bedroom typically two days including skim coat drying time.
