Wallpaper Removal in Washington, D.C. / Maryland
Steam-safe wallpaper removal and wall repair before a repaint, done without gouging drywall.
Wallpaper Removal in Silver Spring
Old wallpaper in a Hyattsville or Wheaton starter home usually hides a wall that needs some patience, not brute force. We steam and score instead of tear, skim-coat any damage underneath, and prep the surface so new paint actually adheres instead of bubbling in six months. It's rarely a fun job, which is exactly why most homeowners hand it off rather than rent a steamer themselves.
Most wallpaper removal jobs range $600–$1,800 — get your exact number, free and in writing.
“Our dining room had wallpaper from probably 1998 and I was dreading it. They steamed it off without tearing the drywall underneath, patched two spots, and primed before painting. Took a day longer than I hoped but the wall actually looks new now, not just painted over old glue lines.”

How it works
Free, Written Walkthrough
We come look at the actual walls, trim, or siding — not a phone guess — and hand you a flat number before we leave.
Prep Like It's Our Own House
Sanding, patching, taping, and masking happen before a single lid comes off a paint can. This step is 40% of a paint job's lifespan and it's never rushed.
Paint, Walkthrough, Done
Two coats, daily cleanup, and a final walkthrough with you before we call it finished — not before.
No pressure. No hidden fees. Written quotes valid 30 days.
Questions about this service
How much does painting actually cost?
It depends on scope, but most interior jobs in the D.C. area run $2,800–$6,500 for a whole house, and full exterior repaints run $4,200–$9,500. We give you a flat, written number after an in-person walkthrough — never a phone estimate — so there are no surprise add-ons once we start.
How fast can I get a quote?
We reply to quote requests within 10 minutes during business hours, 7 days a week, and can usually get someone out to walk your project within 2-3 days. You'll have a written number in hand before you have to make any decision.
Are you actually licensed and insured?
Yes — Bright Leaf Painting Co. is fully Licensed & Insured, and we'll send a certificate of insurance before we start any job, no need to ask twice. This matters most on exterior and commercial work where a fall or property damage risk is real.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No long-term contract — every job gets a simple, itemized written agreement covering scope, materials, and price before we start, and that's it. There's no subscription, no annual commitment, just a clear agreement for the project in front of you.
