Can you put peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling?

• <div><p>Peel-and-stick wallpaper isn’t the best choice to cover wood paneling. Because paneling has a textured, uneven surface with grooves and peel-and-stick wallpaper has weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper, you’d need to do a significant amount of prep work to get the wallpaper to lay flat and adhere properly. Peel-and-stick wallpaper works best on painted or primed drywall without a textured finish.</p></div>

Q: Does peel-and-stick wallpaper hold up in a bathroom?

• <div><p>Many types of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-apply-peel-and-stick-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper</a> can hold up to environments with some level of moisture, such as bathrooms&mdash;especially peel-and-stick wallpapers made of vinyl or polyester. However, if you&rsquo;re considering wallpapering a bathroom that sees a <i>lot</i> of moisture, like a kids&rsquo; bathroom or a full bathroom with a steamy shower and inadequate ventilation, even the highest quality wallpapers will peel.</p></div>

Q: Can I use peel-and-stick wallpaper to prevent future damage?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-removable.htm">Peel-and-stick wallpaper</a> is designed to be removed cleanly without damaging paint or drywall&mdash;as long as the surface was properly primed or painted beforehand. Its ease of removal makes it a great choice for renters or anyone who wants a less permanent design choice. Be sure to apply it to a clean, smooth, and dry surface for optimal results. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime paintable wallpaper before painting?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t need to apply <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> to your wall before hanging paintable wallpaper. Manufacturers design paintable wallpaper so that the paint will adhere effectively, so primer isn&rsquo;t necessary. Plus, even if you opt for a light shade of paint, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about the shade underneath showing through because you are painting on a light, white surface.</p></div>

Q: How many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper do I need?

• <div><p>To determine how many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper you need, measure the square footage of the walls you&rsquo;re covering and divide that by the square footage that each roll covers. Add 10% to 20% of your total square footage to account for pattern matching or damage while installing. </p></div>

This is the second time I have hired JB Drywall. The skim coating of a bathroom after I damaged the walls removing wallpaper made it look brand new. JB was well within my budget and the work and cleanup were beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend them.

Tustin's Asphalt Sealing did a very good job. I don't recall the exact amount of the price, but I remember it was incredibly reasonable for what they did and how well they did it. They were professional and did a good job and had a reasonable price.

My main goal for every job is to do excellent work, with efficiency, at an affordable rate. I know having a stranger come to your home to help you can be uncomfortable, so I can reassure you that I am a friendly person and I will communicate exactly what am doing in as much detail as you want. I understand every person and need is very different, so I will listen to what you need, carefully, and work with you to find a solution.
