Q: Can you add new wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

• <div><p>In most cases, you cannot wallpaper over existing wallpaper. It&rsquo;s possible to wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but vinyl-coated wallpaper is much more prevalent in homes, so you generally shouldn&rsquo;t put new wallpaper over existing wallpaper. Adding a layer of wallpaper over vinyl-coated paper will lead to poor adhesion, leaving behind bubbles and imperfections in your wall. Plus, wallpapering over vinyl-coated wallpaper can lead to mold growth, which can be hazardous to your health. It&rsquo;s usually best to hire a local wallpaper removal service to handle the task to avoid these issues.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-paintable-wallpaper.htm">paint over existing wallpaper</a> if you select wallpaper that is designed to be paintable. This type of paper is meant to add texture to walls. Alternatively, if you have old wallpaper you&rsquo;d like to cover up, you can often paint over that instead of removing it. However, it needs to be smooth, damage-free, and non-textured. Otherwise, any bumps, tears, and texture will show through the paint.</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: What is the fastest way to remove wallpaper from a wall?

• <div><p>The fastest way to remove wallpaper is usually to spray the paper with a mixture of hot water and either vinegar or dish soap, let it soak in, and then scrape off the wallpaper using a putty knife. Unfortunately, this process can easily damage your walls if you spray too much or scrape too aggressively. Your best bet is to call in a professional wallpaper remover who knows how much to wet the walls and how much pressure to apply when scraping the paper off. They might also use steamers and other tools to speed up the process.</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>

Hector Removed and re-installed a bathroom grab bar that was poorly installed by another handyman. This guy knows what he’s doing. Job turned out real good. Patched up the original tile holes- dare you to find the patch marks.
