Q: How do I remove a wallpaper border?

• <div><p>Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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>

Q: Is peel-and-stick wallpaper as good as traditional wallpaper?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper and traditional wallpaper</a>, each has its own pros and cons&mdash;the one that&rsquo;s better for you depends on your needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to install, while traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and can be used in a wider variety of spaces. </p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of putting up wallpaper?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-wallpaper-vs-paint.htm">The pros of wallpaper</a> 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&rsquo;s difficult to remove, it&rsquo;s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it&rsquo;s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.</p></div>

Q: Will rubbing alcohol remove wallpaper glue?

• <div><p>Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away. </p></div>

They made a difficult situation very easy. They were the lowest estimate and they did the job very professionally and quickly. I had them jet this sewer line a few years ago, and but had problems again. It turned out the pipe in the street was literally crushed. They were excellent!

Wallpaper removal = A; plastering = A-; painting: C+. We were disappointed in the overall experience. They were kind enough and their wallpaper removal and plastering was great, really solid—but on the final day, they rushed with the painting to get it done on the original time frame, and while...
