"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."
No, you don’t need to apply paint primer to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn’t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won’t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.
The color of the paint, its opacity, and the depth of the texture on the paper all affect how many coats of paint you need to apply to paintable wallpaper. You'll need at least two coats of paint to ensure even coverage. Don’t be surprised if you need to apply three coats if the embossing is very deep or if you use a dark color.
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.
If you need a stronger magnetic surface, or you need to use a different type of paint in the room (like waterproof paint in a damp basement), there are other accessible options. You could fit a steel panel over the wall, try magnetic wallpaper, or apply chalk paint instead.
If you want an inexpensive shortcut, hang a pinboard or chalkboard on your wall. These removable options are ideal if you’re a renter who can’t repaint or plan to move in the near future.
No. If you overlap seams, the wallpaper will not come out flat. In addition to possibly throwing off your pattern match between rolls, overlapping seems necessary. If wallpaper is properly acclimated, and temperature and moisture conditions are optimal during installation, there is no reason to fear shrinkage as it dries.
