"I had no intention of starting the project until next spring, and that is why adding my phone # should be a choice. However, this contractor called within 15 minutes of going on Home Advisor. No one else responded for that quick response I am apprecitative. When and if I am ready to go forward with this project he will be the first person I call, and for all those that did not, I will not be doing business with them."

"I have elected to hire him on a probationary basis until such time as I see his work. Since we have received no snow since I contacted Home Advisor, it is impossible for me to evaluate his work. I am meeting with him on Monday and if everything is mutually satisfactory for both of us regarding the timing and cost of his services, as well as receiving his acceptance of the work standards I require, I will conditionally hire him. Your survey is premature since I have not yet hired him and accordingly I have been forced to give him 5 Star ratings before Home Advisor will allow me to submit this survey. I recommend ,that in the future, you revamp this survey to allow submission under conditions that have not yet been finalized!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

If you’re installing new wallpaper and have leftover glue, you can remove unused wallpaper paste from the bucket or pan it’s in by letting it dry. If it’s an oil-based paste, seal it in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage. Otherwise, toss the leftover wallpaper paste in the trash. Although it’s water-soluble, don’t rinse unused wallpaper paste down the sink because it could dry in the pipes and cause a blockage.

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.

Rubbing alcohol may help dissolve stubborn wallpaper adhesive that remains after removal, but be sure to apply it carefully to prevent damaging your walls. Apply a small amount using a cotton swab or pad, then gently scrape or wipe the adhesive away.

Once again, contact with moisture is the culprit here, though water-resistant varieties of wallpaper are less likely to become wet and develop mold. Using a high-quality exhaust fan or dehumidifier and leaving the doors or windows cracked after bathing will keep this issue at bay.
