Can I hang wallpaper over textured wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding. </p></div>

Can I pay someone to strip wallpaper?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-wallpaper-removal.htm">hire a local wallpaper removal service</a> to prep the surface properly. <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/wallpaper-removal/">Wallpaper removal pros</a> cost <b>$0.55 to $1.50 per square foot</b> or <b>$500 to $700 per room</b>. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.</p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of putting up wallpaper?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-wallpaper-vs-paint.htm">The pros of wallpaper</a> include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it&rsquo;s difficult to remove, it&rsquo;s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it&rsquo;s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.</p></div>

Q: Does peel-and-stick wallpaper hold up in a bathroom?

• <div><p>Many types of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-apply-peel-and-stick-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper</a> can hold up to environments with some level of moisture, such as bathrooms&mdash;especially peel-and-stick wallpapers made of vinyl or polyester. However, if you&rsquo;re considering wallpapering a bathroom that sees a <i>lot</i> of moisture, like a kids&rsquo; bathroom or a full bathroom with a steamy shower and inadequate ventilation, even the highest quality wallpapers will peel.</p></div>

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>

Devin and Joel were great. Took them 1.5 hours to cut down a large tree, load it into their trailer, removed the stump and trim back a river birch tree next to our deck.

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!"
