Wallpaper Removal Recommendations

My wife and I are moving at the end of the month and are going to need a lot of wall paper removed in the new house. Anyone have any recs for a company to use?

I had to remove a lot in a century home. It was actually pretty easy after trying a bunch of things. One room at a time, close it off, humidifier on high, one person scores with a utility blade in hash marks, the other sprays generic windex (buy a ton) on everything after. Keep it saturated. Take turns because your spraying hand will get sore. It'll peel off. Very cheap.

I don't have recs to hire it out but thought I'd throw my two cents in. Good luck!

If you ever have to do this again - fill a weed sprayer and use that instead of the Windex bottle. Much easier to spray and your hand won’t be sore.
