Wallpaper removal and installation on the Gold Coast
Old wallpaper taken off cleanly, the wall put right underneath, and new wallpaper or a feature wall hung neatly.
Most of the work with wallpaper is in what you don’t see afterwards — getting the old paper off without tearing up the wall, then repairing and preparing the surface so the next finish sits flat. Rushed removal is what leaves gouged, patchy walls behind.
We remove old wallpaper, prepare the wall properly, and hang new wallpaper — including feature walls — for homes and commercial spaces across the Gold Coast. If you’d rather move away from wallpaper altogether, we can prepare the wall and repaint it as part of our interior painting work. Owner Nathan Phelps brings more than 20 years of painting experience to the work.
What we handle
Depending on the job, that includes:
- Removing old or stubborn wallpaper
- Preparing and repairing the wall once the paper is off
- Hanging new wallpaper — patterned, textured or custom
- Feature walls
- Homes and commercial spaces
The exact scope is confirmed when we look at the walls and quote.
How the work goes
01 — Assess & quote
We look at the walls, the existing paper and the finish you’re after, and provide a clear quote.
02 — Remove
Where there’s existing paper, we take it off carefully to avoid damaging the wall underneath.
03 — Prepare the wall
We clean, repair and smooth the surface so the new paper or paint has a sound base.
04 — Install & finish
We hang the new wallpaper, keeping patterns aligned, then check the finish and tidy up.
