"Honey the end result looks decent… however had we not complained repeatedly about the prep work, running paint, missing paint, graffiti looking paint, it wouldn’t look this nice. We got the impression they wanted to do half way work and get paid. Paint still needs be cleaned up in areas. Over spray on the siding. The doors were painted but the weather stripping was ripped off so now we have to replace it. Would run water over and over with no respect of who is paying the bill. Dropped a 5 gallon bucket of paint from the roof on to the driveway, getting on car, siding and driveway. Took my husband 3 hours to clean up with power washer. Additionally brought broken sprayers that he used to spray all over the grass to get to work instead of just using a box to spray on. No prep work was done on the doors and you can tell it. Paint is runs, bubbles from no sanding underneath, etc. like I said at the end it looks good on the roof, the rest I am sure we will have to redo at some point. It’s a good 10ft stand away kinda job. They are nice but if you want someone will tons of experience idk if it’s them. After all the problems he still expected full payment, he did try to fix the issues once he would see it but it could take hours for him to realize it’s that bad and then an apology text with I will come back tomorrow to fix it."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

The pros of wallpaper 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’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.

As long as the surface you’re putting the tile on is properly prepped, peel-and-stick backsplashes should stay on and last anywhere from 3 to 5 years. The best way to ensure the tile stays on is to sand down and clean the wall before applying your design.

In most cases, you cannot wallpaper over existing wallpaper. It’s possible to wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but vinyl-coated wallpaper is much more prevalent in homes, so you generally shouldn’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’s usually best to hire a local wallpaper removal service to handle the task to avoid these issues.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it’s not always ideal. If the wallpaper is firmly adhered, has no bubbling or peeling, and isn’t textured, you can try to prime and paint over it. Use an oil-based primer to prevent the adhesive from bleeding through. However, if the paper is damaged or loose, removal is the better long-term solution.

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.
