Hudson Valley Cover Girls provides professional wallpaper removal services for homeowners throughout the Hudson Valley. Based in Hurley, NY, we specialize in carefully removing wallpaper while protecting the underlying walls and preparing surfaces for what comes next.
Wallpaper removal is often more complex than expected, especially in older Hudson Valley homes. Improper techniques can damage drywall, tear plaster, or leave behind adhesive residue that causes issues with paint or new wallcoverings. Our removal process is designed to safely eliminate old wallpaper while preserving the integrity of your walls.


Homes throughout the Hudson Valley range from historic properties with plaster walls to newer homes with modern drywall. Each wall type responds differently to moisture, adhesives, and removal methods, making a one-size-fits-all approach risky.
Identify wallpaper type and adhesive used
Select removal method based on wall material
Minimize moisture and surface stress
Prepare walls for paint or new wallpaper

Traditional wallpaper removal requires patience and controlled techniques to avoid surface damage. We carefully loosen wallpaper using professional methods that allow it to release without excessive force. After removal, adhesive residue is thoroughly cleaned so walls are left smooth and ready for their next finish.
This approach helps prevent peeling paint, bubbling, or uneven texture later and is especially important in homes where walls may already have minor imperfections.

Many Hudson Valley homes contain multiple layers of wallpaper applied over the years. Removing these layers safely requires a staged approach to avoid damaging the underlying wall surface.
We remove wallpaper one layer at a time, ensuring adhesives and backing materials are fully cleared before moving forward. This method protects drywall and plaster while creating a stable, clean surface for repainting or new wallpaper installation.

Plaster walls are common in older Hudson Valley homes and require special care during wallpaper removal. These surfaces can be more fragile and sensitive to moisture and force.
We use controlled, low-impact removal techniques designed to protect plaster while effectively releasing wallpaper and adhesive. Additional surface preparation may be recommended to ensure walls are smooth and structurally sound before refinishing.
Successful wallpaper removal does not end when the paper comes off the wall. Proper preparation afterward is essential to ensure a clean, lasting finish for paint or new wallcoverings.
We take the time to evaluate wall conditions and address issues before moving on.
