"Gary returned to paint our house after suspending the job until we had rotten cedar shakes replaced. He went out of his way to get us on this year's schedule. He and his assistant took their time, prepped all surfaces properly and did a fabulous job with the painting. He replaced the few shakes the construction company missed and also replaced some trim that was compromised. The finished result is seamlessly. His attention to detail is outstanding. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a painter."
"These guys were outstanding. They removed wallpaper and painted my LR, DR, hall and foyer. Peter, his business, gave an accurate estimate and stuck to it, to the dollar. The old popcorn ceiling (popcorn removed by someone else) needed skim coating and actually needed an extra coat to make my ceiling literally pristine. He did not charge me for the extra labor or materials. The team was polite, entirely respectful of my home, and extremely kind to my elderly mother. There wasn't one drop paint where it shouldn't be. Not a single streak or drip. For the ceiling work, I believe the workers were actually running to complete the job on time and with precision. My washtubs are in the basement, I don't know how many trips they made up & down! They were patient with me as changed my mind on color choices. All the guys were personable, and clearly experienced. They cleaned up after themselves and put my furniture back where it belongs. 2 days after they were done, while was rehanging pictures. the ceiling got scraped! I reached out to Peter to get the right touch up paint, and he promised when he was in the area again he would do the touch up...and he did. Great experience, definitely will rehire!"
"Peter is truly an artist at his craft. We had seen his work at a friends house and were immediately sold. I never thought walls were anything to be impressed about...until we met Peter. He removed 70 years of wallpaper, replastered, finished, primed and painted our walls. Then he completed the transformation by installing beautiful crown molding. He is meticulous, professional, punctual, kind, personable, and trustworthy. Hire PV Painting & Decorating - you won’t be disappointed."

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.
Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it’s in decent shape. Before painting over wallpaper, make sure the surface is clean and smooth. You may have to remove minor problem areas, such as lifted seams or small peels, with a sheetrock knife or putty knife. Add a latex- or oil-based primer to keep moisture at bay before painting. You’ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.
The pros of wallpaper include its durability and longer lifespan than paint, as well as its versatility. The durability can translate to lower long-term costs for upkeep and replacement, and the versatility means you have more options for customizing rooms in your home. Some downsides include that it’s difficult to remove, it’s not ideal for rooms or areas exposed to high moisture content or sun exposure, and it’s tricky to install. A professional wallpaper hanger can help mitigate these issues, though, by installing it properly and in areas suitable for wallpaper.
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.
There can be too much of a good thing when it comes to accent walls, so avoid creating one in every room in your house. Some rooms, like bathrooms and kitchens, don’t naturally lend themselves to accent walls, so it’s best to skip them there. Of course, your home should reflect your own sense of style, so if accent walls in multiple rooms appeal to you, there’s no hard-and-fast rule forbidding it.
