Q: What’s a good alternative to a magnetic paint wall?

• <div><p>If you need a stronger magnetic surface, or you need to use a different type of paint in the room (like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/waterproof-paint.htm">waterproof paint</a> in a damp basement), there are other accessible options. You could fit a steel panel over the wall, try magnetic wallpaper, or apply chalk paint instead. </p><p>If you want an inexpensive shortcut, hang a pinboard or chalkboard on your wall. These removable options are ideal if you&rsquo;re a renter who can&rsquo;t repaint or plan to move in the near future.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to prime before installing peel-and-stick wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you prefer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/peel-and-stick-vs-traditional-wallpaper.htm">peel-and-stick to traditional wallpaper</a>, you can skip the priming process. Many manufacturers don't require an additional primer if you&rsquo;re installing peel-and-stick wallpaper to painted walls. However, if you&rsquo;re applying peel-and-stick wallpaper to unfinished drywall, you&rsquo;ll need to apply a primer first.</p></div>

Q: Should an accent wall be lighter or darker?

• <div><p>Deciding between a lighter or darker accent wall depends on the effect you&rsquo;re going for. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-an-accent-wall.htm">Choosing an accent wall</a> in a lighter color will make a room feel brighter and more spacious and complement rooms with less natural light. A darker accent wall will add drama and depth to a room and help make larger rooms feel more cozy and intimate.</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>

Q: How many coats of paint do paintable wallpapers need?

• <div><p>The color of the paint, its opacity, and the depth of the texture on the paper all affect how many coats of paint you need to apply to paintable wallpaper. You'll need at least two coats of paint to ensure even coverage. Don&rsquo;t be surprised if you need to apply three coats if the embossing is very deep or if you use a dark color.</p></div>

"Jose did a great job. He was able to remove old, nasty wallpaper in our foyer and gave it a fresh look. He also installed crown molding in the foyer, painted the stairs and installed trim around the entrances to the other rooms. He performed his work on schedule, even if that meant working late to finish the project. Overall I would definitely recommend him and would use him in the future."
