Q: Do I have to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it&rsquo;s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We&rsquo;d also recommend against <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/laying-wallpaper-over-wallpaper.htm">putting wallpaper over</a> 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. </p></div>

Q: Are there scheduling flexibility options for removal services?

• <div><p>Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint over wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-paintable-wallpaper.htm">paint over existing wallpaper</a> if you select wallpaper that is designed to be paintable. This type of paper is meant to add texture to walls. Alternatively, if you have old wallpaper you&rsquo;d like to cover up, you can often paint over that instead of removing it. However, it needs to be smooth, damage-free, and non-textured. Otherwise, any bumps, tears, and texture will show through the paint.</p></div>

Q: How do I reduce the risk of moldy wallpaper?

• <div><p>Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay. </p></div>

Q: How long does wallpaper last?

• <div><p>Wallpaper lasts an average of around <b>15 years</b>, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest&mdash;sometimes 20 years or more&mdash;while a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper</a>, 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.</p></div>

I had old wiring that had to be redone. They explained what needed to be done and completed the job in a timely manner. They were very professional and made sure everything was clean and removed all the trash when they were finished which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend them.

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!
