Reviving Orlando Homes: The Complete Guide to Wallpaper Removal & Painting

Central Florida’s housing boom means fresh competition for curb appeal—and nothing dates a home faster than tired, peeling wallpaper. Whether you just closed on a 1970s ranch or you are prepping a downtown bungalow for vacation rentals, the fastest path to modern style is eliminating aged patterns and laying down flawless paint. CountBricks is Orlando’s go-to partner for that transformation, delivering instant voice estimates, AI-driven blueprint takeoffs, and crews who respect both timelines and toes.

Why “Wallpaper Orlando” Searches Are Skyrocketing

• Orlando’s resale market rewards turnkey finishes—buyers expect smooth walls and on-trend colors

• Sub-tropical humidity accelerates curling seams and mildew behind vinyl paper

• New residents crave neutral palettes that pair with modern furnishings

Keep It or Strip It? CountBricks’ Quick Assessment

1. Moisture test: If backing is damp or mold-prone, removal is non-negotiable

2. Adhesion check: Loose edges signal failing paste and higher repaint risk

3. Asbestos or lead ink scan: Pre-1980 papers may need specialized disposal

4. Texture preview: Orange peel drywall under the paper affects skim-coat time

The CountBricks Workflow for Wallpaper Projects

Step 1: Voice-Powered Estimate

In a two-minute phone conversation, our AI captures square footage, ceiling heights, and current wall condition. Pricing for removal, skim coat, primer, and finish coats generates instantly—no clipboard walk-through needed.

Step 2: AI Blueprint Takeoff

Upload your floor plan or snap photos of each room. The CountBricks engine maps exact wall areas, corner counts, and trim linear feet, then pairs the numbers with real-time Orlando material costs.

Step 3: Interactive Scope Approval

Homeowners receive a digital proposal showing line-item tasks—scoring paper, steaming, debris hauling, drywall repair, primer, and two-coat paint. Approve, modify, or add upgrades like accent walls with a click.

Step 4: Efficient On-Site Execution

Our residential crews arrive on schedule, prep floors with recyclable masking film, and seal HVAC returns to contain dust. We employ commercial steamers that lift vinyl and adhesive in one pass, reducing chemical exposure inside the home.

Step 5: Post-Project Validation

Every CountBricks project closes with a laser level wall scan, ensuring less than 1/32” surface deviation before paint. The report uploads to your CountBricks.com/portfolio record for future warranty reference.

Orlando Cost Factors Explained

• Ceiling height surcharges start above 10’ because of scaffold setup time

• Metallic or grasscloth wallpaper requires slower steaming—add 15-20% labor

• Lakefront humidity can lengthen drying time between skim coats, affecting schedule

• HOA rules may dictate specific low-VOC paints; CountBricks sources compliant options locally

Step-by-Step DIY Vs. Professional Removal

1. Score the paper with a spiked wheel

2. Apply steam or DIF solution and wait 10 minutes

3. Peel top layer; scrape backing carefully to avoid gouging drywall

4. Wash residual glue with trisodium substitute

5. Sand, skim coat, prime, and finally paint

Homeowners often underestimate steps 3 and 4—CountBricks completes the full cycle in about half the time, with dust extraction vacuums that protect indoor air quality.

Paint Selection for Florida’s Climate

• Elastomeric primers bridge hairline cracks caused by thermal expansion

• Satin or eggshell sheens resist daily wipe-downs without glare

• Light-reflective neutrals maximize natural brightness during rainy afternoons

Five Pro Tips from CountBricks Field Supervisors

• Shut off breakers and remove switch plates before steaming to avoid short circuits

• Always rinse walls twice—hidden paste bleeds through primer months later

• Use high-build primer to spot minor paper scars instead of excessive mudding

• Tint primer toward final color for superior coverage on bold hues

• Schedule work Monday–Wednesday; Orlando’s humidity dips slightly mid-week for faster curing

• Transparent, voice-recorded estimates archived on your dashboard

• AI-validated quantities eliminate surprise change orders

Case Study: Baldwin Park Bungalow Refresh

When the Grant family bought a 2,100 sq ft bungalow in Baldwin Park, every bedroom flaunted a different floral wallpaper—charming on a listing, overwhelming in person. They contacted CountBricks through the voice estimator, receiving a full quote in under five minutes. Our AI takeoff pinpointed 5,860 sq ft of wall surface, eight oversized windows, and two vaulted ceilings.

Execution Highlights

• Day 1: Crew sealed vents, applied low-moisture steam to protect original hardwoods, and removed all paper by 3 p.m.

• Day 2: Two skim-coat passes plus a high-build primer eliminated texture inconsistencies

• Day 3: Applied light-reflective greige in eggshell sheen; laser scan confirmed uniform coverage

The result? A magazine-ready interior delivered 48 hours ahead of schedule. The Grants listed the home on a short-term rental platform two weeks later and recouped project costs after just five bookings.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will removal damage my drywall? CountBricks’ controlled steam settings and anti-gouge scrapers keep paper layers intact, protecting the gypsum core.

• Can you match existing texture? Yes—our crews carry multiple roller naps and spray rigs to replicate knockdown, orange peel, or smooth finishes.

• How do I prepare the space? Remove small décor, and CountBricks covers the rest. We even handle furniture shifts up to 200 lbs.
