Q: 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&rsquo;s not always ideal. If the wallpaper is firmly adhered, has no bubbling or peeling, and isn&rsquo;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>

Q: What are the benefits of professional material removal?

• <div><p>Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to paint over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/painting-over-wallpaper-its-possible.htm">paint over wallpaper</a> if it&rsquo;s smooth and in good shape. But if there are bumps or tears in the wallpaper, they&rsquo;ll likely show through the paint. Similarly, you should avoid painting over textured wallpaper because the ridges and patterns in the paper will be visible. In either of these situations, you should remove the wallpaper before painting.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove pre-pasted wallpaper?

• <div><p>To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you&rsquo;ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to remove wood paneling?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-remove-wood-paneling.htm">cost to remove wood paneling</a> is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.</p></div>
