What is the easiest way to remove wallpaper?

• <div><p>The easiest way to remove wallpaper is to use a steamer. The hot steam will loosen the wallpaper paste and make peeling the wallpaper off in large sheets much easier. Unfortunately, steamers can create irreparable damage on your walls, so it’s not a good idea for DIYers to use steamers to remove wallpaper. Instead, hire a professional wallpaper remover to do the work for you. This method will not only speed up the process, but it will also ensure your walls will remain intact post-wallpapering.</p></div>

Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.</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: 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>

Q: Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don&rsquo;t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That&rsquo;s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall&rsquo;s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.</p></div>

Q: How long does wallpaper in a bathroom last?

• <div><p>Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan. </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!"
