How long does wallpaper last?

• <div><p>Wallpaper lasts an average of around <b>15 years</b>, 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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper</a>, 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.</p></div>

Do walls have to be perfectly smooth for peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>Walls should be as smooth as possible before applying peel-and-stick wallpaper. Although you technically can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-put-wallpaper-on-textured-walls.htm">apply wallpaper on textured walls</a>, the peel-and-stick variety won’t last long without a clean, smooth surface for the adhesive to stick to. If you have textured walls, consult a pro about removing the textured finish before moving forward with wallpaper.</p></div>

Q: Will peel-and-stick wallpaper damage walls?

• <div><p>For the most part, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-damage-walls.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper doesn't damage walls</a>. However, there may be some cases when damage does occur. For example, if you try to rip the paper off the wall, you may pull away some paint at the same time.</p><p>The walls can also be damaged if they aren't prepared properly before you add the wallpaper. For example, if the coat of paint is too fresh when you put the wallpaper on the walls, it can peel away as you remove the paper. </p></div>

Q: How many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper do I need?

• <div><p>To determine how many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper you need, measure the square footage of the walls you&rsquo;re covering and divide that by the square footage that each roll covers. Add 10% to 20% of your total square footage to account for pattern matching or damage while installing. </p></div>

Q: What other project should I do at the same time?

• <div><p>Because replacing pool tiles requires fully draining your pool, it&rsquo;s a great opportunity to complete other projects. You may want to replace your pool&rsquo;s vinyl liner or repair cracks. You might also replace your swimming pool heater or even take on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-resurface-swimming-pool.htm">cost of resurfacing your pool</a>. Resurfacing, although relatively costly, can help prolong the lifespan of your pool.</p></div>

David was excellent to work with. He did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it, for the price he quoted. His work was very good and he left the worksite very clean. He was easy to communicate with by e-mail, text or cell phone (706-302-3780).
