Can you just paint over wallpaper instead of removing it?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/painting-over-wallpaper-its-possible.htm">it is possible to paint over wallpaper</a>, 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. </p></div>

Q: Can you just paint over wallpaper instead of removing it?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/painting-over-wallpaper-its-possible.htm">it is possible to paint over wallpaper</a>, it&rsquo;s not always ideal. If the wallpaper is firmly adhered, has no bubbling or peeling, and isn&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: How do I reduce the risk of moldy wallpaper?

• <div><p>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. </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: Can I remove wallpaper myself?

• <div><p>DIY removal is possible but requires patience. Professionals ensure smooth wall prep and avoid wall damage.</p></div>

Q: How much does wallpaper cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hang-wallpaper.htm">Wallpaper costs</a> depend on several factors, such as the type, who's installing it, and how much you need. Usually, peel-and-stick wallpaper costs less than more permanent options. If you DIY, you can also expect your costs to be lower compared to working with a professional. The average cost to install wallpaper is <b>$560</b>, but total costs can range from <b>$175 to $1,500.</b></p></div>

They did a good job drying out the crawl space and removing the mold. However, they did not adequately fix the hole they cut into my bathroom floor. They never stopped in daily to check on the progress as they said they would. And, when they charged my credit card, they overcharged me by more...

The roof was put on quickly, but old roof was supposed to be removed first, which it was not. There is water damage on the ceiling in 3 rooms that he said he would fix. I have called him 6 times and emailed without a response. This is now December and I have not heard back from him.

We took down the vent hood & put it in the garage for painting. The workman came at the precise time we'd agreed upon. We had put Kraft paper under the hood to protect the floor, but he was careful enough to lay down even more. There was absolutely NO mess & the hood looks like new. After...

"Bottom line on top... I trust Aaron, would hire him again and would recommend him to my mother (and I am a bit of a mother's son)... Aaron provided a lot of general guidance and his team performed while home painting (exterior & interior), including the painting of our kitchen cabinets. He also helped demo the kitchen countertop and range hood vent, modified a kitchen cabinet so that it could fit above the refrigerator and repaired some rotted trim. Aaron is very nice and easy to work with, he would spend a lot of time with us and never felt rushed. He has transformed our home."
