Can you just paint over wallpaper instead of removing it?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/painting-over-wallpaper-its-possible.htm">it is possible to paint over wallpaper</a>, it’s not always ideal. If the wallpaper is firmly adhered, has no bubbling or peeling, and isn’t textured, you can try to prime and paint over it. Use an oil-based primer to prevent the adhesive from bleeding through. However, if the paper is damaged or loose, removal is the better long-term solution. </p></div>

Is peel-and-stick wallpaper as good as traditional wallpaper?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick wallpaper and traditional wallpaper</a>, each has its own pros and cons—the one that’s better for you depends on your needs and space. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is more budget-friendly and easier to install, while traditional wallpaper lasts much longer and can be used in a wider variety of spaces. </p></div>

Great job! Devon and Joel removed two very large trees and trimmed another large tree. Also removed the stumps and cleaned the area. I highly recommend Veteran Owned Tree Removal company to anyone needing tree services. They were professional and very reasonably priced. Thank you!!!
