Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.</p></div>

Is traditional or peel and stick wallpaper better?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick versus traditional wallpaper</a>, peel-and-stick is more affordable and easier to DIY install. However, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-last.htm">it doesn’t last as long as traditional wallpaper</a>. Traditional wallpaper also holds up better in areas with moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms.</p></div>

Q: Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don&rsquo;t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That&rsquo;s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall&rsquo;s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.</p></div>

Q: What is the best wallpaper to hide imperfections?

• <div><p>Textured or patterned vinyl wallpaper designs are the best option for hiding imperfections. Embossed designs or faux finishes like brick, wood, or linen textures are especially effective at camouflaging dents, cracks, or uneven surfaces. Avoid smooth, shiny finishes, as they can highlight flaws rather than conceal them. </p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to hang wallpaper?

• <div><p>Spring and fall are the best seasons to apply wallpaper because excessively hot or cold temperatures can cause issues with the paste used to attach the paper to the wall. A professional wallpaper hanger can help you decide if your home is too hot, cold, humid, or dry for the wallpaper to stick properly. </p></div>

Q: Why is my wallpaper not sticking to the wall?

• <div><p>The two most common reasons wallpaper does not stick are a lack of preparation and improper adhesive. Be sure to use the wallpaper paste designed for the type of paper you choose. Before beginning your project, make sure the walls are clean and free of dust, grease, and oils. </p></div>

Daniel and his crew were very polite and easy to communicate with. For how challenging the wallpaper removal was and the amount of repair needed, I am thrilled with the results! Worth every penny!

I had a total bathroom transformation. Very thick, old wallpaper removed, walls prepped and painted. Paneling cleaned, primed, painted. The owner, (Del) was professional, quick to respond, and did such a great job (and i am a perfectionist). I would highly recommend Delta Painting.
