Wallpaper Hanging & Removal in Oxnard, CA
Old wallpaper stripped and walls smoothed, or new wallpaper professionally hung.
We handle wallpaper both directions — stripping out dated paper (a common find in older Oxnard homes bought as-is) so the wall is smooth and paint-ready, or hanging new wallpaper for homeowners who want a pattern or texture that paint can't give. Either way, the wall prep matters just as much as the installation itself.
When You Need This Service
- You bought a home with dated wallpaper you want gone
- Wallpaper is peeling, bubbling, or yellowing at the seams
- You want to add a statement wallpaper wall or powder room
- You're prepping a room for repainting and the old paper has to come off first
Our Process
- Assess the paper. Type and age of wallpaper determine the stripping approach.
- Strip & clean. Paper and adhesive residue are removed from the wall.
- Smooth the wall. Skim-coat and sand any rough or damaged spots.
- Prime. Walls are primed before paint or new wallpaper goes on.
- Finish. Paint the wall, or hang and smooth new wallpaper into place.
What Affects the Cost
Wallpaper age and adhesive type (older paste-heavy paper takes longer to strip), how much wall repair is needed afterward, and whether you're finishing with paint or new wallpaper all factor into the price.
Why Coast To Coast Painting
We don't rush wallpaper removal — pulling it too fast is how walls end up gouged. Patience during stripping is what leaves you with a smooth, paint-ready wall instead of a repair job. Licensed #1116757, bonded and insured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can old wallpaper always be removed without damaging the wall?
Most of the time, yes, with the right stripping technique and patience — but older wallpaper (especially anything applied directly over unprimed drywall decades ago) can pull off some paper surface with it. When that happens, we skim-coat and smooth the wall before painting so it doesn't show.
Can you paint over wallpaper instead of removing it?
We don't recommend it — paint over wallpaper tends to show seams and can bubble over time as the paper reacts to moisture in the paint. Removing it first gives a cleaner, longer-lasting result.
How long does wallpaper removal take before the room can be painted?
Removal and wall prep for an average room usually takes a day; if the wall needs skim-coating to smooth out residue or damage, add another day or two before it's ready for primer and paint.
