Kitchen wall problems we fix in Roselle
Kitchen walls get grease, steam and fingerprints that bedroom walls never see, so the prep and the paint have to be different. In Roselle we degrease, patch and prime, then finish walls and ceilings in a washable satin or semi-gloss, or hang a scrubbable wallcovering.
Dated or peeling wallpaper
Loose seams and faded borders come off. Removal is slow, careful work so the wall underneath survives.
Steam and moisture over the stove and sink
Moist areas need a paint that resists mildew and tolerates frequent cleaning. Semi-gloss or a kitchen-and-bath paint works well there.
Cracks around windows and doors
We repair cracks above doors and windows properly so they don't show again a month after painting.
Grease film on the walls
Walls near the stove collect cooking oil you can feel with a fingertip. It has to come off completely before any coat goes on.
Peel-and-stick wallpaper that is lifting
Peel-and-stick looks quick but rarely stays put near heat and moisture. A properly hung paper or paint lasts longer.
Uneven texture or old patches
If old patches flash through as dull spots, we skim, sand and prime the whole area for an even sheen.
A wallpaper border along the ceiling
That strip of fruit or ivy at the ceiling line is easy to remove; the patching afterward is what makes it look right.
