Can I hang wallpaper over textured wallpaper?

• <div><p>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. </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>

Q: Can I remove my own wallpaper?

• <div><p>It is possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wallpaper-removal.htm">remove wallpaper yourself</a>, but it&rsquo;s typically better to leave the work to a professional. Some types of wallpaper can prove to be a real challenge to remove, and the process is labor intensive regardless, so most homeowners prefer to save themselves time and frustration by hiring a pro. Professional wallpaper companies have special tools like steamers and the experience to use them effectively without damaging the drywall behind it, which can get damaged if it gets too wet. Hiring a pro gets the job done quickly and minimizes the wall prep you&rsquo;ll need to do afterward.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to remove wood paneling?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-remove-wood-paneling.htm">cost to remove wood paneling</a> is $2,800, but total costs may be higher or lower depending on the size of the room, your location, and the amount of prep work required. Once the paneling is gone, you may have additional costs depending on the condition of the wall beneath.</p></div>

Q: What do I do with excess wallpaper?

• <div><p>You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.</p></div>

I was overall pleased with this company. I gave them quite the challenge with removal of wallpaper over wallpaper that had been on for over 40+ years, in addition to the mold removal issue. The only problem I would say was that the workers were not familiar with the removal process of the...

The tech arrived and easily found that when the disposal was installed, they forgot to remove the plug. It was just my wife there so the person charged her the entire 120 for a simple 5 min fix. Felt as though they took complete advantage. Will not be using again.

"Great hire. Mr. Galvan came, assessed the job and gave me an estimate the same day. Both days of the job he, and his crew, were on time, professional and very easy to work with. Pricing was great and work was completed as agreed upon. The results were excellent. Not only would I hire again, but currently picking paint colors for the next job Mr. Galvan has estimated for us."
