Q: Can you use peel-and-stick wallpaper in a bathroom?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove unused wallpaper paste?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it&rsquo;s in by letting it dry. If it&rsquo;s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it&rsquo;s water-soluble, don&rsquo;t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.</p></div>

Q: Can German schmear be removed?

• <div><p>Think hard before deciding to German schmear your home&rsquo;s exterior brickwork. If you do not like the look, you are pretty much stuck with it, as it is impossible to remove this finish the way you can remove paint. You risk damaging the underlying brick if you have to chisel and acid-wash it away. It will also take a very long time, and remnants of the mortar wash will always remain.</p></div>

Q: Is removing wallpaper difficult?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wallpaper-removal.htm">Removing wallpaper</a> can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it&rsquo;s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it&rsquo;s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.</p></div>

"Chad and Scott did a fantastic job, from concept to completion of our project. We needed an interior wall, framing, door, drywall, texture, & painting, & all the details to enclose our kitchen from our entry. They understood our concept, and had the work done from start to finish in 2 weeks. Meticulous, detail-oriented, polite, & fun to have them here in our home are how we would describe our relationship with Chad & Scott. They even let us keep adding other small projects along with the wall construction, always being cheerful & accommodating. We would definitely recommend them to our friends & neighbors for any projects! Susan & Larry"
