"Hired Humberto to strip a ton of old wallpaper and repaint our place in Tahoe. Two full floors, probably 2000 sq ft worth of walls. Wallpaper was everywhere and honestly I wasn’t sure what we were going to find underneath it, but his crew handled the whole thing: removal, sealing, knockdown texture, primer, two coats of paint by hand. Communication was great from the start. He called me the same day he sent the estimate and walked through his whole process which I appreciated since we were managing the project remotely. Humberto sent photos every single day as they went which was huge since we couldn’t be there during the work. Him and his crew were there every day and they finished right when they said they would. House looked great when we showed up for memorial day weekend. Clean work, no mess left behind. I would absolutely use Humberto again. He's my go-to paint guy in Tahoe now."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.

To remove adhesive-backed wallpaper, you’ll need to soften the adhesive before you try peeling the wallpaper off the walls. You may wonder whether peel-and-stick wallpaper damages walls. It can depend on the removal method. Make sure to be patient and consider using a steamer, hair dryer, or adhesive remover to carefully take down adhesive-backed wallpaper.

In most cases, it is not recommended to wallpaper over existing wallpaper, as the success depends on the type of paper already on the wall. While you might be able to cover non-coated wallpaper, you should never apply new wallpaper over a vinyl-coated one, which is more common. Doing so can lead to poor adhesion, resulting in bubbles, imperfections, and peeling. It can also trap moisture, potentially causing hazardous mold growth between the layers.

Even if the existing wallpaper is suitable, experts recommend applying only one new layer. Adding multiple layers (more than two total) can cause significant adhesion problems, leading to warping and bubbling. For the best results, the recommended approach is to remove the old wallpaper and all paste residue before hanging the new paper. If you are unsure about your wallpaper type, consider consulting a professional.

You’ll need to wash the walls to remove wallpaper adhesive residue after removal as part of the prep process for painting or rehanging wallpaper. Old adhesive can cause texture issues and prevent paint or wallpaper from adhering properly to the wall’s surface.

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.
