Q: Can you wallpaper or paint over existing wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can wallpaper and paint over certain types of wallpaper, but it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to remove it first. Removing the wallpaper and prepping the wall before painting is a good way to guarantee a smooth finish that looks professional. If you ever have a moisture or water issue after painting over wallpaper, the paper will bubble and damage your wall. Additionally, you should never paint over wallpaper already peeling or otherwise damaged, as this will leave obvious imperfections in your wall and could lead to additional problems.</p></div>

Q: How many times can you wallpaper over wallpaper?

• <div><p>Most experts would not recommend hanging wallpaper over existing wallpaper more than twice. Even if the walls are in good condition and primed well, that third layer of wallpaper could cause problems with adhesion. Unless you like bubbling paint and peeling wallpaper as an interior design choice, it&rsquo;s better to remove at least one existing layer before adding any more to a wall. </p></div>

Q: Is it bad to paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can paint over wallpaper, but it&rsquo;s not usually recommended, especially if the wallpaper underneath is textured or dirty. If you do decide to paint your wallpaper, make sure it&rsquo;s in good condition and clean it very well. Make sure all corners and edges of wallpaper are glued down before you paint, as well.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to paint or remove wood paneling?

• <div><p>Painting over wood paneling is an option that can save you money and time. However, if you go this route, the style and texture of the wood you paint over will still be evident. Painting over paneling is an excellent way to modernize an otherwise outdated aesthetic. Instead of removing wood panels, consider painting them a bright color&ndash;like white or ivory. This is essentially <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-wainscoting.htm">wainscoting</a>, but without any of the required installation. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to wash the walls after removing wallpaper?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall&rsquo;s surface. </p></div>

I purchased and supplied the water heater. Thermal made 3 connections. They removed the heater from the box, hooked up the existing vent and existing unions on the water and gas lines. It took them 2 hours plus two trips and charged me $1400.00

He wallpapered my walls and painted my ceilings. They did excellent work, but they were not the most ambicous. They were not very timely. I found them because they advertised locally. They were responsive to my requests about the work.

"Superb Painting was such a great choice for our kitchen refresh. Throughout the project, we interacted with co-owners Tim and Neall and master painters Levi and Miguel. The customer service was outstanding from all parties! They did a fabulous job of sanding, priming, and painting our kitchen cabinets and drawers. The craftsmanship they used to caulk and paint the cabinet doors makes them look brand new and brings our kitchen into the 21st century! They helped determine what colors to consider for cabinets, trim, and walls, and they were super responsive to any questions or concerns we had throughout the project. We can't say enough about the work ethic, professionalism, and communication we observed and experienced, and we highly recommend Superb Painting for any of your painting or siding needs. They will be our first call the next time we have another painting project!"
