"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."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Having dated, peeling, or otherwise damaged wallpaper can decrease the value of your property, so removing that before listing your house is nearly always a good idea; however, since wallpaper tends to be a personal style choice, potential buyers may or may not love your aesthetic as much as you do.

Love the look of wallpaper but want to consider property value as well? Stick with something that is easy to change. If you are thinking of selling soon, make sure your wallpaper hanging is on-point and looks professional with no crooked seams, evenly matched patterns, and minimal bubbling or other imperfections.

The color of the paint, its opacity, and the depth of the texture on the paper all affect how many coats of paint you need to apply to paintable wallpaper. You'll need at least two coats of paint to ensure even coverage. Don’t be surprised if you need to apply three coats if the embossing is very deep or if you use a dark color.

Yes, many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, especially those made of vinyl or polyester. However, its success depends heavily on the level of moisture and ventilation. In bathrooms with good ventilation, such as those with fans, it can be a durable option. Peel-and-stick wallpaper may not adhere as well as traditional wallpaper in very humid conditions. For bathrooms that see a lot of moisture, like a kids' bathroom or a full bath with a steamy shower and poor ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.
