"I would rate Scott E. Anderson Painting and Wallpaper Hanging higher than 5, if i could, on value for money. Scott and Dennis are terrific. They arrived when they said they would. They tidied up each day. We hired Scott to remove wallpaper and prep the walls for paint or new paper. Scott was very helpful with advice for components of the project we are going to do on our own. The project included paper removal, plaster repair/patch, and prep for three rooms in the 1804 portion of our house. In the 1985 portion of the house, paper was removed in a bedroom, two bathrooms, and a den. Dents, dings, and holes were repaired, and the walls prepped for paint or paper, here as well. Near the end of the project we negotiated with Scott to paint a bathroom, not in the original project scope. During the project, my husband had a medical emergency. Scott and Dennis were able to continue working to ensure the project was completed on time. We didn't have Scott paint or paper any of the rooms stripped because we only recently purchased the home and have not made decisions on color or paper. The first task was to get the old paper off and out! We are very pleased with the results. We will use Scott again. We highly recommend Scott E. Anderson Painting and Wallpaper Hanging."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

The pros of wallpaper 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’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.
