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—sometimes 20 years or more—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>

Q: Do services include wall repairs?

• <div><p>Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.</p></div>

Q: Is removing wallpaper difficult?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wallpaper-removal.htm">Removing wallpaper</a> can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it&rsquo;s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it&rsquo;s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to remove wallpaper?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-remove-wallpaper.htm">cost to remove wallpaper</a> is <b>$790</b>. The final price tag depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the project, and can range from <b>$200 to $2,000</b>. Usually, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is on the lower end of the cost scale, as it doesn't require special tools to remove.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to remove wallpaper from a wall?

• <div><p>The fastest way to remove wallpaper is usually to spray the paper with a mixture of hot water and either vinegar or dish soap, let it soak in, and then scrape off the wallpaper using a putty knife. Unfortunately, this process can easily damage your walls if you spray too much or scrape too aggressively. Your best bet is to call in a professional wallpaper remover who knows how much to wet the walls and how much pressure to apply when scraping the paper off. They might also use steamers and other tools to speed up the process.</p></div>
