"Phillip did an awesome job.  He worked quickly and did a good job.  I was impressed with the work so I asked him to come back to fix the walls in the kitchen where I messed up by using tape and pealing paint off the wall.  I explained that I wouldn't be able to take off another day of work so he said that he'd be able to come on a Sunday.  I was really impressed with the fixes especially since they weren't easy fixes and he explained exactly what he needed to do in order to fix all the spots.  Phillip is a very nice Southern gentlemen that I left at my house twice by himself and didn't feel worried at all.  Overall, I was impressed and I will definitely use him again.  His prices don't break the bank and his work looks great.

"They just wrote an estimate - I wasn't here when they came. I didn't talk to them. It wasn't necessary for them to come and do an estimate. They left the quote with my son. I would use them if their prices went down."

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

It’s possible to hang your own wallpaper, but the process is tedious and potentially frustrating, and it can be challenging to get seams to line up and look clean and professional. Plus, depending on the type of wallpaper you’re installing, using too much or too little adhesive could cause damage to your drywall or plaster, peeling, and bubbling in the final product. It’s usually a better idea to hire a professional wallpaper installer to do the work for you, as the relatively low cost is justifiable, if only to avoid damage to your walls.

When comparing peel-and-stick and traditional wallpaper, the better choice depends on your specific needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to DIY install. On the other hand, traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and holds up better in a wider variety of spaces, including areas with moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.

No. If you overlap seams, the wallpaper will not come out flat. In addition to possibly throwing off your pattern match between rolls, overlapping seems necessary. If wallpaper is properly acclimated, and temperature and moisture conditions are optimal during installation, there is no reason to fear shrinkage as it dries.

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.
