How Pro Wallpaper Removal & Installation
Impact Your Brookfield Home’s Value

Choosing To Work With Specialists Means
Volumes To Your Property’s Bottom Line

For superior, high-caliber, detailed wallpaper removal & installation in Brookfield (or across the Milwaukee area), turn to the professionals at Colorwheel Painting.

Why?

Because few features brighten up a room as much as wallpaper can. The stuff is magic when done right.

Wallpaper offers vibrant patterns in a range of colors and designs that paint just can’t simulate. Whether looking for a bold, large pattern for a lively, dramatic look or a classic pattern in a muted palette to add elegance and sophistication, wallpaper can be beautiful and unique.

However, wallpaper can be tricky if you plan on selling your home soon. Older wallpaper (especially the popular patterns that were everywhere in your grandmother’s kitchen) can make a home look outdated and reduce marketability. Potential buyers want a live-in ready home – not one they’ll have to spend time and money fixing up.

Here’s some inside info for your research as you investigate this option.

3 Reasons To Remove Wallpaper In Your Brookfield
Home Before Putting It On The Market

1: Wallpaper Is Highly Individual

Unlike paint, wallpaper comes in many patterns, designs, and colors, so many that it’s improbable buyers will love the wallpaper enough to keep it up. Because of its subjective nature, realtors highly recommend having your wallpaper removed and replaced by a neutral paint color before putting your home on the market.

We mustn’t forget how individualistic we all style our homes, both in terms of what’s on the wall and the furnishings that go with it. Take this image below, for example. The wallpaper works with the minimalist, almost Asian motif, but what about a completely different furniture set?

At Colorwheel Painting, our experts use only the best methods for removing wallpaper, like DIF solution, hot water, and steamers. We don’t use scoring tools due to the risks of damaging drywall.

2: Removing Wallpaper Can Be Difficult And Expensive

If buyers decide to make an offer on your Brookfield home, it’ll likely be less than what you requested. This is because they’ll factor in the costs of removing the wallpaper, including time and effort.

With our wallpaper removal services, we charge hourly – with minimal additions for materials. This makes budgeting for wallpaper removal more straightforward and affordable. And with our patient, precise technicians, you can be confident you’ve chosen the best.

3: Wallpaper Can Make Your Brookfield Home Appear Outdated

While high-quality wallpaper can be an excellent choice for adding vibrancy, color, and mood to any room, homes with older wallpaper can appear outdated in the modern housing market. Even tasteful, modern wallpaper can be hit-or-miss with a younger population of potential homebuyers who generally prefer paint over wallpaper.

A neutral paint color is universally seen as the better choice, as it helps potential buyers better imagine themselves in your home. It makes it easier for them to personalize it after closing.

2 Reasons To Keep Wallpaper Up When Putting
Your Home On The Market

1: Your Brookfield Home Is A Historical Building

If your Brookfield home is historic, then wallpaper can increase its value. Buyers will pay top dollar for a historic building with as many of its original features intact as possible – including original wallpaper or a reproduction of the original wallpaper.

This may require a specially educated individual associated with the WIA or Wallpaper Installers Association (we have WIA-trained wallpaper specialists on staff). These folks are hard to find in Brookfield or Milwaukee in general.

If you’re restoring a historic building, we can help you find wallpaper as close to the original as possible, and our expert installers are patient and precise in their work. Or, if you happen to be an interior designer, we can help you wow your clients. We also work with Milwaukee remodeling firms on projects around town.

2: The Wallpaper Is Subtle, Understated, Or In A Small Area

If your wallpaper is neutral with a subtle pattern, it has a much higher chance of fetching a better price and being more marketable on the housing market. Neutral colors and patterns are universal, allowing potential homebuyers to imagine themselves in the home without needing a complete overhaul to add their personal touches.

This image from our Residential Services Gallery is a perfect example. It shows a small accent wall under some stairs that’s closed off by a hallway out of view on the left.

If the only appearance of wallpaper in your home is in your built-in bookshelf or a walk-in closet, removing it may not be worth the time and money. A splash of color or a vibrant pattern in a small guest bathroom isn’t nearly the same as an entire living room or master suite.
