What is the downside to peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>One of the biggest downsides to peel-and-stick wallpaper is that it doesn’t last quite as long as traditional wallpaper. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-last.htm">life span of peel-and-stick wallpaper</a> is about five years, depending on the quality of the wallpaper and how well you prep the wall before applying. The good news is that, because of its shorter lifespan, peel-and-stick wallpaper is a great choice for people who enjoy switching up their interiors more frequently.</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>

Q: How long does wallpaper removal take?

• <div><p>Most jobs take 1-3 days, depending on room size and adhesive strength.</p></div>

Q: Why should I hire a professional wallpaper hanger?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-questions-ask-when-hiring-wallpaper-pro.htm">Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger</a> is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.</p></div>

Q: Can you wallpaper or paint over existing wallpaper?

• <div><p>You can wallpaper and paint over certain types of wallpaper, but it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to remove it first. Removing the wallpaper and prepping the wall before painting is a good way to guarantee a smooth finish that looks professional. If you ever have a moisture or water issue after painting over wallpaper, the paper will bubble and damage your wall. Additionally, you should never paint over wallpaper already peeling or otherwise damaged, as this will leave obvious imperfections in your wall and could lead to additional problems.</p></div>
