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>

Do I need to use wallpaper stripper on peel and stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.</p></div>

Can I hang wallpaper over textured wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding. </p></div>

We didnâ t clarify the dirt removal from post hole digging. Other wise they cleaned everything up. It was our fault and my hubby spent a couple of hours afterwards moving the dirt piles. The fence looks great and the dog is very happy!

They are efficient and do a miraculous job cleaning the carpet. This is a tenent house, so the carpet can get pretty horrible, but they do a great job cleaning it. They also remove so much water after the cleaning process that it only takes 4 hours before you can walk on the carpet.
