Proudly Serving Central New York Homeowners
About Us
At Joseph Rivers Painting, we take the dread out of wallpaper removal for Central New York homeowners — removed cleanly, walls left smooth and paint-ready, with the mess handled start to finish.
Wallpaper bonds tighter to the wall over the years, and pulling it off the wrong way tears up the drywall beneath. We score, soak, and strip using the right method for your walls, then smooth and prep the surface — so you're left with a clean wall, not a repair bill.

About Us
Why Central New York Homeowners Choose Us
Wallpaper removal is easy to begin and easy to ruin. Rip it off carelessly and you're left patching gouged drywall. We remove it the right way and hand back a smooth wall — ready for paint, not repairs.
Floors and furniture covered and safeguarded before any scoring or soaking begins.
The correct method for your walls — scoring, steaming, or soaking, never brute force.
Adhesive residue completely cleared, not left to ghost through your fresh paint.
Drywall and plaster left smooth, patched where necessary, and primed paint-ready.
We keep the work tidy, haul off the mess, and leave the room ready for its next look.
