What is the downside to peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn’t last quite as long as traditional wallpaper. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-last.htm">life span of peel-and-stick wallpaper</a> is about five years, depending on the quality of the wallpaper and how well you prep the wall before applying. The good news is that, because of its shorter lifespan, peel-and-stick wallpaper is a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.</p></div>

Can you just paint over wallpaper instead of removing it?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/painting-over-wallpaper-its-possible.htm">it is possible to paint over wallpaper</a>, it’s not always ideal. If the wallpaper is firmly adhered, has no bubbling or peeling, and isn’t textured, you can try to prime and paint over it. Use an oil-based primer to prevent the adhesive from bleeding through. However, if the paper is damaged or loose, removal is the better long-term solution. </p></div>

Mike and his guys attacked a difficult job - reinforcing a crumbling 15 foot wall built long ago with concrete and heavy stones. We were amazed by their ingenuity and skill in tackling and completing this difficult project. The outcome is excellent, and we highly recommend Michal Cacillas...

They have great follow up. I was told by the owner that he didn't care if he got my business, as long as my heat exchanger was repaired. It was life or death, really, because carbon monoxide was leaking into my home. He even had to go purchase special equipment to test the amount of carbon...

I paid the additional $500 for the repair since I needed the freezer for my company. A couple weeks later, it broke again. I called again and this time, I told him that I will not drive back to his shop since he should have had the repair taken care of after paying $1000. I spent a lot of time...
