Can you put peel-and-stick wallpaper over wood paneling?

• <div><p>Peel-and-stick wallpaper isn’t the best choice to cover wood paneling. Because paneling has a textured, uneven surface with grooves and peel-and-stick wallpaper has weaker adhesive than traditional wallpaper, you’d need to do a significant amount of prep work to get the wallpaper to lay flat and adhere properly. Peel-and-stick wallpaper works best on painted or primed drywall without a textured finish.</p></div>

Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’s surface. You should also prime your wall before applying wallpaper and smooth the wall as much as you can, and another layer of wallpaper complicates this process.</p></div>

Q: How much does wallpaper installation cost?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-hang-wallpaper.htm">cost of wallpaper installation</a> is around <b>$550 per project</b>, or between <b>$200 and $1,500</b>, for most homeowners. Since projects and application areas vary wildly by size, it&rsquo;s usually more helpful to have an estimate per square foot, which is between <b>$1 and $7 per square foot</b>, or an average of <b>$4 per square foot</b>. Project prices can fall above this range, though, especially if you purchase custom wallpaper or a luxury product. The best way to get an estimate for your project is to have a professional inspect your space and provide a quote.</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>

Q: How do you make white walls not boring?

• <div><p>To pair a unique sense of style with white walls, keep them well-decorated. Hang vibrant art or bold furniture to add color to the room. Add some texture and greenery to the space with plants. Choose accent pieces such as throw pillows or light fixtures with patterns. Having a white wall can be a plus as it allows homeowners to easily decorate their homes as they desire without worrying about clashing with the paint color. </p></div>

After I removed the wallpaper in the bathroom, the walls were in bad shape. They taped and repaired the walls and ceiling to look brand new, then primed and painted and compleated the perfect job very fast. They are very skilled, hard working, nice people.

Wow! My home looks fabulous. I just recently purchased this condo that was built in 1989 and looked like it hadn't been freshened up since then. The kitchen, laundry hall, and all the bathrooms had wallpaper - and two of them had wallpaper on the ceiling. The walls needed repairing, and the...

"Overall, I had a great experience working with Precision Painting Plus. From a professional standpoint they were excellent — great communication, quick response time, and thorough follow-up. The painting itself looks very good, but I did notice a few spots that could have been cleaner, such as some paint on the white moldings, a drip mark, and areas around the trim that weren’t as sharp as I’d hoped. Nothing major, but worth mentioning. All in all, I would recommend them and would use them again, just with a little more attention to detail next time."
