"Wallpaper removal and painting was done in quoted time and looks great. They removed decades old wall paper, patched dry wall, painted and installed new hardware. Will definitely be using again when we have another project."

"The Newman brothers painted our kitchen and dining room. They worked very hard to get it done in the time that I asked. They were here on time every morning and worked well into the evening. They were very nice and they had a lot of information. They were respectful and clean. I will hire again to have my kids bedrooms painted soon. This is my first time using Angie’s and it connected me to the right people for the job."

"Hello, I am Emilys sister Elizabeth.
DMI painted the interior of our home so we could freshen up to sell. We have a 2500 Sq foot home and it took David and his crew 2 days to prep and paint. We had a mixup with the paint, but that was on us as we bought Behr. Anyway, great service and if we need something else, we will call them

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Your peel-and-stick wallpaper can fall off for multiple reasons, including high humidity levels, extreme temperature changes, poor installation, and even the wall surface. Textured walls can prevent the adhesive from fully sticking to the wall, making it more likely for the wallpaper to peel off. Low-quality wallpapers with weaker adhesives are also more likely to fall off prematurely.

Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it’s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You’ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.

Yes, you can apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling, but it requires significant preparation for a good result. Peel-and-stick wallpaper has a weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper and works best on smooth, non-textured surfaces like painted or primed drywall. Because wood paneling is often textured with grooves, any flaws in the underlying surface will likely be visible after application. To prepare the paneling, you must ensure the surface is free of cracks, holes, and protrusions by filling any indentations and sanding rough spots to create a smooth surface. An alternative is to remove the paneling and apply the wallpaper directly to the underlying drywall or plaster, provided it is in good condition.

Textured or patterned vinyl wallpaper designs are the best option for hiding imperfections. Embossed designs or faux finishes like brick, wood, or linen textures are especially effective at camouflaging dents, cracks, or uneven surfaces. Avoid smooth, shiny finishes, as they can highlight flaws rather than conceal them. 

The color of the paint, its opacity, and the depth of the texture on the paper all affect how many coats of paint you need to apply to paintable wallpaper. You'll need at least two coats of paint to ensure even coverage. Don’t be surprised if you need to apply three coats if the embossing is very deep or if you use a dark color.
