"I hired AW Painting for several projects inside my house. I had had water damage in the basement, so I needed the ceiling painted and several walls painted. I also wanted wallpaper stripped out of a guest bath and the walls painted, trim fixed, caulked and painted in my master bath, and an accent wall painted in the kitchen. First of all, Alvin gave me a very detailed, written quote, which I appreciated. He also helped me talk through the type of paint I wanted to use, colors that would look good, etc. After all that had been decided, Alvin began working. He is very meticulous and takes great pride in his work. He's extremely detail-oriented, and it's obvious his goal is to do the very best possible work for his client. For example, when doing my accent wall in the kitchen (which was a tomato red color), he felt that he needed to apply a third coat, even though I couldn't detect any imperfections after the second coat. The trim in my bathroom looks like new. I have no idea how he was able to transform it from the mess it was! I also was very appreciative of how neat Alvin was while he worked. He minimized the messes and was careful to clean up after he was done. I am very impressed with his work and will hire him again for my painting needs."

"The finished product was excellent. They made it look like a brand new room. They sent out 3 men and they worked very hard. The only complaint was that I had to provide the materials, which was very confusing to me at the home improvement store, not knowing what half of the stuff was. The work was beautiful and they tried hard to contain the dust, and worked every day straight through."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can apply peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling, but it requires significant preparation for a good result. Peel-and-stick wallpaper has a weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper and works best on smooth, non-textured surfaces like painted or primed drywall. Because wood paneling is often textured with grooves, any flaws in the underlying surface will likely be visible after application. To prepare the paneling, you must ensure the surface is free of cracks, holes, and protrusions by filling any indentations and sanding rough spots to create a smooth surface. An alternative is to remove the paneling and apply the wallpaper directly to the underlying drywall or plaster, provided it is in good condition.

It is less costly to paint than wallpaper when you only consider the upfront cost. Wallpaper costs $320 to $820 when applied by a pro, while paint only costs $200 to $700 per room. However, when comparing wallpaper versus paint, consider the long-term as well. Wallpaper can save you money over time since it has a much longer life span than paint.

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.

Your peel-and-stick wallpaper can fall off for multiple reasons, including high humidity levels, extreme temperature changes, poor installation, and even the wall surface. Textured walls can prevent the adhesive from fully sticking to the wall, making it more likely for the wallpaper to peel off. Low-quality wallpapers with weaker adhesives are also more likely to fall off prematurely.

To determine how many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper you need, measure the square footage of the walls you’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.
