Q: Is hanging wallpaper difficult?

• <div><p>Hanging wallpaper may seem simple, but in practice it requires significant planning and finesse to make it look professional. To start, you need to get an even application of wallpaper paste across all of your wallpaper, which requires experience and large pasting tables to get right. You also need to plan out your design and match it exactly so that you don&rsquo;t have imperfections in the finished product. It&rsquo;s often better to hire a professional wallpaper hanger who can get the job done properly for a clean, smooth finish.</p></div>

Q: Should an accent wall be lighter or darker?

• <div><p>Deciding between a lighter or darker accent wall depends on the effect you&rsquo;re going for. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-an-accent-wall.htm">Choosing an accent wall</a> in a lighter color will make a room feel brighter and more spacious and complement rooms with less natural light. A darker accent wall will add drama and depth to a room and help make larger rooms feel more cozy and intimate.</p></div>

Q: What’s a good alternative to a magnetic paint wall?

• <div><p>If you need a stronger magnetic surface, or you need to use a different type of paint in the room (like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/waterproof-paint.htm">waterproof paint</a> in a damp basement), there are other accessible options. You could fit a steel panel over the wall, try magnetic wallpaper, or apply chalk paint instead. </p><p>If you want an inexpensive shortcut, hang a pinboard or chalkboard on your wall. These removable options are ideal if you&rsquo;re a renter who can&rsquo;t repaint or plan to move in the near future.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it&rsquo;s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We&rsquo;d also recommend against <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/laying-wallpaper-over-wallpaper.htm">putting wallpaper over</a> 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. </p></div>

Q: Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don&rsquo;t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That&rsquo;s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall&rsquo;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>

Had wallpaper removed, wall cracks repaired, ceilings and walls painted at a reasonable price. Chris & Greg worked hard and the rooms look great. The only difficulty I had was the dust. I’m already planning to call them back for another room in the future. I’d recommend this paint company.

The wallpaper removal, wall repair and wall painting work was all excellent. The cost estimate for just the wallpaper removal, however, was too low by 25%, from 16 to 21 man-hours. The ceiling painting was estimated for one coat and it needed two. I'm convinced a more experienced painter could...
