"Such a great experience with Wallpaper waves. From the removal of my old wall covering, which was fast and had no damage to my walls, to the installation of the new paper, I give them a 10 out of 10. Maria was so on top of tracking my wallpaper and made many calls to me and the store to keep me updated. They picked up my paper for me. The installation was also fast; they started around 10:30 and finished by 3. The installation job was absolutely perfection. No seams, just perfection. I highly recommend them. ( they removed and replaced my dining room wallpaper)"
"The hanger was very knowledgeable and detail oriented by proof of hanging 3 panels of custom designed wallpaper that required cutting off the top and bottom and matching the design. No seams are visible! Very happy with his work. Cleaned up afterwards too."
"Arcus came out right away to look at the work to be done and started right away. From Bid to completion was four days. Enzo did a great job replacing drywall bathroom ceiling. He and his team are not only "pros", but genuinely nice people. I would highly recommend Arcus ."

"JV Custom Painting did a great job painting the whole Interior of my home. Jhon and his crew were able to get my house done in the time frame I needed. They showed up when they said they would. Everything was even and no spots like Iâ ve had with other painters in the past. Jhon did an excellent job."
"Edward Ryan worked with us every step of the way... he helped us get the designs and permits and did a large amount of the work himself. He has a great work ethic and kept everything moving forward. The subcontractors he did use were very professional. They did such a great job that you would have a hard time figuring out where the addition was put on if you didn't know where to look. I fully intend to use him again for home renovations we have planned."
Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.
Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay.
One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn't last as long as traditional wallpaper. Its lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the paper, proper wall preparation and application, and the room's conditions. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but this can vary significantly. Budget products may only last about 3 years, while higher-quality products can stay up for 7 years or more in ideal conditions. Factors that can shorten its lifespan include high humidity (such as in a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper. If used on flooring, expect it to last only 1 to 3 years unless sealed. However, the shorter lifespan can be seen as a positive, making it a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.
Hanging wallpaper may seem simple, but in practice it requires significant planning and finesse to make it look professional. To start, you need to get an even application of wallpaper paste across all of your wallpaper, which requires experience and large pasting tables to get right. You also need to plan out your design and match it exactly so that you don’t have imperfections in the finished product. It’s often better to hire a professional wallpaper hanger who can get the job done properly for a clean, smooth finish.
To layer wallpaper over wallpaper, inspect your existing wallpaper for problem areas. Damaged wallpaper should not be covered. If it’s okay to proceed, prep by turning off the electricity and removing any outlet and switch covers. Dust your walls and lightly rinse them to prevent the existing paper from peeling. Apply primer, then apply your new wallpaper.
