"Eric was an absolute pleasure to work with. He prepped our walls and installed wallpaper in our 1917 farmhouse. It looks amazing! His work is top quality...truly an art! When portions of the project presented challenges he was overly communicative. He sent pictures and videos of what he was facing and allowed us time to make decisions with no pressure. His pricing was extremely fair. Eric called when he said he would and showed up to the job as agreed upon. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you want wallpaper installed then Eric is certainly the man for the job!"

"I had just purchased a home and I was unable to handle the painting with all of the other projects going on. I hired this company to paint my living room, three bedrooms, two foyers and several closets. He did a great job! The owner is knowledgeable and current with paint trends and colors. I found him to be very accommodating to my schedule and he asked plenty of questions to ensure that he understood exactly what I needed done. We experimented with accent walls and two-tone painted panel doors using both flat and semi-gloss paint for a unique look and finish. My experience was a positive one, the owner was both friendly and professional. I felt safe with them having access to my home and especially appreciated their meticulous handling of each room. Thumbs up for sure!"

Wallpapering questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, 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 peel-and-stick wallpaper, 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.

Wall panels offer functional and aesthetic benefits. From a practical standpoint, panels can improve your home's insulation and energy efficiency, especially if you opt for solid wood panels. They can also help protect your existing wall.

Aesthetically, wall panels have a knack for adding dynamic texture, warmth, and sophistication to a room. And thanks to their many different shapes, sizes, and styles, wall panels can elevate a wide variety of home designs.

Finally, it’s relatively easy to cover wall panels, so you have some flexibility if you end up not liking the look over time.

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.

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.
