How long does wallpaper last?

• <div><p>Wallpaper lasts an average of around <b>15 years</b>, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper</a>, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.</p></div>

What is the easiest way to remove wallpaper?

• <div><p>The easiest way to remove wallpaper is to use a steamer. The hot steam will loosen the wallpaper paste and make peeling the wallpaper off in large sheets much easier. Unfortunately, steamers can create irreparable damage on your walls, so it’s not a good idea for DIYers to use steamers to remove wallpaper. Instead, hire a professional wallpaper remover to do the work for you. This method will not only speed up the process, but it will also ensure your walls will remain intact post-wallpapering.</p></div>

Q: How long does wallpaper in a bathroom last?

• <div><p>Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan. </p></div>

Q: What factors influence the cost of removing wallpaper?

• <div><p>The cost varies from $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the type of wallpaper, the wall condition, and the labor involved.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth buying a wallpaper steamer?

• <div><p>Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they&rsquo;re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It&rsquo;s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.</p></div>
