Wallcovering remove

What’s in this rate

This unit is removing wallcovering from a wall face. The painter scores the sheet, wets it with enzyme stripper, scrapes it off, and paste-washes the wall. The rate is per square foot. Steamer rental, a Level 4 drywall rebuild, and primer and finish paint are separate units.
