Q: Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don&rsquo;t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That&rsquo;s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall&rsquo;s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.</p></div>

Q: Can you apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling?

• <div><p>Yes, you can apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling, but it requires significant preparation for a good result. Peel-and-stick wallpaper has a weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper and works best on smooth, non-textured surfaces like painted or primed drywall. Because wood paneling is often textured with grooves, any flaws in the underlying surface will likely be visible after application. To prepare the paneling, you must ensure the surface is free of cracks, holes, and protrusions by filling any indentations and sanding rough spots to create a smooth surface. An alternative is to remove the paneling and apply the wallpaper directly to the underlying drywall or plaster, provided it is in good condition.</p></div>

Q: How can wallpaper be covered without removing it?

• <div><p>Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it&rsquo;s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You&rsquo;ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.</p></div>

Q: Can you use peel-and-stick wallpaper in a bathroom with a shower?

• <div><p>While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.</p></div>

Q: Can I hang artwork or shelves myself?

• <div><p>Yes, but professional services ensure secure installation, accurate leveling, and protection against wall damage, especially for heavy or valuable items.</p></div>

There is a whole section of wallpaper by a door that was not removed or attempted rather was half covered up by joint compound hoping I wouldn’t see it. I sent an email with a picture requesting a response back, no response to date.
