"I can’t say enough good things about Tim and his crew at Puck’s Papering and Painting. I’ve hired Tim three different times over the past six years, and every experience has been excellent. They are professional, efficient, friendly, and extremely easy to work with. I especially appreciate how quickly Tim provides a quote and gets the work scheduled, while still taking the time to do the job right. They truly have the kind of old-fashioned work ethic and customer service that can be hard to find these days. Over the years, they’ve done just about everything for us—removed wallpaper and repaired the walls, painted the interior of our home, painted our entire kitchen cabinetry, and most recently painted the exterior of our house. For the exterior, they didn’t simply spray the house—they took the extra time to apply the paint with brushes and gave it two full coats for a thorough, durable finish. Their cutting-in work was excellent, and the finished result"

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put wallpaper in a bathroom, but whether it's a good idea depends on several factors. Because bathrooms are high-humidity areas, it's crucial to choose a water-resistant wallpaper, such as one made of vinyl. Proper wall preparation is also critical to ensure the paper adheres well, even after many steamy showers. The wallpaper's placement also affects its longevity; it will hold up better on an accent wall or away from direct water contact, rather than immediately next to a shower. A well-ventilated bathroom will yield the best results.

No, you don’t need to apply paint primer to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn’t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won’t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. 

The two most common reasons wallpaper does not stick are a lack of preparation and improper adhesive. Be sure to use the wallpaper paste designed for the type of paper you choose. Before beginning your project, make sure the walls are clean and free of dust, grease, and oils.

If you prefer peel-and-stick to traditional wallpaper, you can skip the priming process. Many manufacturers don't require an additional primer if you’re installing peel-and-stick wallpaper to painted walls. However, if you’re applying peel-and-stick wallpaper to unfinished drywall, you’ll need to apply a primer first.
