Is it cheaper to paint or wallpaper?

• <div><p>It is less costly to paint than wallpaper when you only consider the upfront cost. Wallpaper costs <b>$320 to $820</b> when applied by a pro, while paint only costs <b>$200 to $700 per room</b>. However, when comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-wallpaper-vs-paint.htm">wallpaper versus paint</a>, consider the long-term as well. Wallpaper can save you money over time since it has a much longer life span than paint.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to wallpaper or paint a bathroom?

• <div><p>Both paint and wallpaper can work in a bathroom, provided you choose high-quality products in either category. Washable vinyl wallpapers can stand up to bathroom humidity without peeling, as can semi-gloss or gloss paint finishes. However, if you&rsquo;re someone who likes to redecorate often, paint may make it easier to change colors or designs more quickly. If you want full humidity protection and cleanability, tile or stone works better.</p></div>

Q: Should I overlap seams when hanging wallpaper?

• <div><p>No. If you overlap seams, the wallpaper will not come out flat. In addition to possibly throwing off your pattern match between rolls, overlapping seems necessary. If wallpaper is properly acclimated, and temperature and moisture conditions are optimal during installation, there is no reason to fear shrinkage as it dries.</p></div>

Q: What's the benefit of adding wall panels?

• <div><p>Wall panels offer functional and aesthetic benefits. From a practical standpoint, panels can improve your home's insulation and energy efficiency, especially if you opt for solid wood panels. They can also help protect your existing wall.</p><p>Aesthetically, wall panels have a knack for adding dynamic texture, warmth, and sophistication to a room. And thanks to their many different shapes, sizes, and styles, wall panels can elevate a wide variety of home designs.</p><p>Finally, it&rsquo;s relatively easy to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-best-way-cover-fake-wood-paneling.htm">cover wall panels</a>, so you have some flexibility if you end up not liking the look over time.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to prime before installing peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you prefer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick to traditional wallpaper</a>, you can skip the priming process. Many manufacturers don't require an additional primer if you&rsquo;re installing peel-and-stick wallpaper to painted walls. However, if you&rsquo;re applying peel-and-stick wallpaper to unfinished drywall, you&rsquo;ll need to apply a primer first.</p></div>

Perfect from start to finish. Vinny is a master at getting the seams matched perfectly and the paper placement around and behind objects was so well done. He worked with English wallpapers that needed wall prep and paste to hang correctly and each pattern had different repeats and...

Kim has a great eye for color and for color scheme appropriate to the house style and furnishings. She is diligent and meticulous. She did a great job removing wallpaper, prepping walls and woodwork and repairing dry wall damage and holes both quite large and small.

The guys came in and plastered and sanded the walls even over some wallpaper. Then sanded again including the trim. And then primed and painted. They did an awesome job! Would highly recommend Derrick's crew.
