Q: Is hiring a wallpaper removal specialist worth it?

• <div><p>Hiring a professional wallpaper remover is almost always worthwhile. Although the work is more expensive due to labor costs, doing it yourself is extremely time-consuming, complicated, and easy to make mistakes and wreak havoc on your walls, regardless of the tools you use. Professional wallpaper removers have the tools and experience to get old wallpaper down quickly and without damaging the walls behind it.</p></div>

Q: Can German schmear be removed?

• <div><p>Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home&rsquo;s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.</p></div>

Q: Does peel-and-stick wallpaper hold up in a bathroom?

• <div><p>Many types of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-apply-peel-and-stick-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper</a> can hold up to environments with some level of moisture, such as bathrooms&mdash;especially peel-and-stick wallpapers made of vinyl or polyester. However, if you&rsquo;re considering wallpapering a bathroom that sees a <i>lot</i> of moisture, like a kids&rsquo; bathroom or a full bathroom with a steamy shower and inadequate ventilation, even the highest quality wallpapers will peel.</p></div>

Q: How long does wallpaper removal take?

• <div><p>Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.</p></div>

Q: What are the downsides of textured walls?

• <div><p>While textured walls can elevate a space in many ways, there are a couple of downsides to consider. Namely, they&rsquo;re hard to clean, and some textures fall out of fashion quickly. Make sure to consider all your options to find one you truly love before diving in. </p></div>
