"I was, at fist, generally satisfied other than a tendency of theirs to make decisions for me without consulting me. A decision was made about the location of stairs from the porch without consulting me until after the posts were set in concrete. I would have made another choice but it was a done deal when I saw it. The porch has been a problem. One door was put on opening out only to hit an electric meter. I fixed that myself. Screens blew out of both doors. I fixed those myself and noticed they put screen over two places on each door where they could have secured it but didn't. Screens have been blown out of two wall panels by the wind. I emailed Mr McElroy about the problem and got no response. I fixed the two screens myself but I think I am going to have to re-screen as I can see three other places where the screen has come out. It appears to me they used the least expensive screen they could get and as little as possible. I am also disappointed at the number and size of the gaps between boards all over the porch. Wasps get in every day. One morning there were 9 wasps on the porch. I feel they hurried, cut corners and made arbitrary decisions to save themselves work and/or expense."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

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. 

While many types of peel-and-stick wallpaper can be used in bathrooms, they may not adhere as well in humid environments as traditional wallpaper. For best results, choose a vinyl or polyester-based wallpaper, as these materials are more durable and water-resistant. Good ventilation is also crucial to reduce humidity from steamy showers. In bathrooms with high moisture and inadequate ventilation, even high-quality peel-and-stick wallpaper is likely to peel over time.

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.
