Expert Wallpaper Removal in Glenview, IL
Wallpaper was popular in many Glenview homes years ago, but styles change. Floral prints, borders, textured vinyl and painted wallpaper can make a room feel older than it is. If you’re planning to paint, installing new wallpaper or getting your home ready to sell, removing the old material is the first step.
Big League Painting provides wallpaper removal in Glenview for homeowners who want clean walls without the mess and frustration that often comes with doing it themselves. Some wallpaper peels away easily. Other walls have multiple layers of paper, stubborn adhesive or wallpaper that was painted over years ago. Each job starts with identifying what is on the wall before choosing the safest way to remove it.
Trying to pull wallpaper off by force usually causes more work. Drywall paper can tear, glue can stay behind and damaged areas become even more noticeable after fresh paint is applied. Taking the proper approach saves time and helps create a smoother surface for the next finish.

If you are looking for a company that provides expert communication and service, look no further than Big League Painting. Throughout the entire process, from Patrick who thoroughly explained the process, to Jesse who skillfully project managed the job, and to Carlos who masterly repaired and painted the walls, trim, doors, and stair risers, the attention to detail was unmatched. I could not be happier with the outcome and plan on employing the company again. I strongly recommend Big League Painting for any interior or exterior services.

The project involved exterior prep and painting, brick sealing, molding repair, and caulking. The price was fair and the workers were nice guys and easy to deal with. From the initial assessment and estimate through completion, the job was well managed and communicated. This is a professionally run organization and I would hire them again.

We had an exceptional experience working with Patrick and his team! They were the most thorough and knowledgeable of all quotes we received. They were polite, clean, organized, and on time several of my neighbors have already asked me for their number.

Big league painting did our entire condo very quickly before we moved in, working on a compressed timeline to accommodate our moving schedule! They did a great job and even came back to touch up a few spots that weren't sitting well. Then, most recently, they did a cabinet painting job for us. They finished it in just 4 days and they look incredible! Before and after photos attached. The team is always very kind and professional. Jessie was our project lead both times and was very communicative.

They did a great job on so many levels. They matched paint to the color I already had on the walls. The house was left very clean with no splatters, covered everything and disposed of materials they used. The painters were polite and professional. It was a whole team. Price was reasonable. I would hire them again in a minute.

Everyone we worked with was super friendly. Prices were reasonable (we received multiple quotes). The work was done quickly, and the guy who came out and painted was awesome. In the end, the our newly painted rooms were everything we had hoped for. Will definitely call them the next time we need painting work done.

How We Remove Wallpaper near Glenview, IL
Wallpaper removal takes more than a scraper and a spray bottle. Some wallpaper lifts off in full sheets. Others break into small pieces because the glue has hardened over time. In older Glenview homes, it’s also common to find two or three layers of wallpaper on the same wall or wallpaper that has been painted over. Each situation calls for a different approach.
Before any wallpaper is removed, we inspect the wall to see what we’re working with. Drywall, plaster and repaired surfaces all react differently to moisture and scraping. Taking a few minutes to inspect the wall helps prevent unnecessary damage later.
Our Wallpaper Removal Process
- Protect floors, baseboards, furniture and nearby fixtures.
- Test a small section to identify the wallpaper type and adhesive.
- Use the appropriate removal method based on the wall condition.
- Remove wallpaper in sections instead of forcing large pieces off.
- Wash away leftover adhesive so primer and paint bond properly.
- Check the wall for loose drywall paper, nail holes or damaged areas.
- Prepare the surface so it’s ready for primer, paint or new wallpaper.
Our Worry Free Painting Process
A successful painting project starts with clear communication, proper preparation and a defined process. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, Big League Painting keeps you informed and your project moving forward on schedule.
Free Consultation
We inspect the surfaces, discuss your project and provide a detailed estimate. If repairs, priming or additional preparation are needed, we'll identify them upfront so you know exactly what is included before work begins.
Prep & Paint
Preparation comes first. We protect surrounding areas, complete necessary repairs, clean and prepare surfaces, apply primers where needed and then paint using proven application methods for consistent coverage and durability.
Final Walkthrough
We review the completed work with you, inspect the finished surfaces and take care of any final touch ups if needed. Our goal is to leave you with a finished project that matches the scope of work discussed at the start.

Wallpaper Removal Pricing in Glenview, IL

Frequently Asked Questions
At Big League Painting, we soften the remaining adhesive with the right removal products and gently clean the walls without damaging the drywall. Before we paint, we make sure every bit of glue is removed so the new finish goes on smooth and lasts.
After removing the wallpaper, we inspect the walls for damage, fill holes and gouges, repair any torn drywall and sand everything smooth. We don't paint until the surface is properly repaired and ready.
Most wallpaper removal projects take one to two days, depending on the type of wallpaper, the adhesive and the size of the room. We evaluate the walls first and provide a realistic timeline before we begin.
We wash the walls to remove all remaining adhesive, let them dry completely and check for any repairs that are needed. Clean walls are essential for proper primer and paint adhesion.
We remove all wallpaper and adhesive, repair any surface damage, sand the walls smooth, clean away dust and apply a high quality primer. This preparation helps us achieve a smooth, durable paint finish that looks great for years.
