Q: How do I find a good wallpaper installer?

• <div><p>Ideally, you want to ask the wallpaper installers you&rsquo;re considering for examples of past work, and references you can call. These will prove that the installer can handle your job, make your room look professional, and will also give you some insight into the kind of customer service you can expect. Before you start calling companies, you might want to narrow down your options by finding installers with mostly positive reviews online.</p></div>

Q: What do I do with excess wallpaper?

• <div><p>You may end up with extra wallpaper once your project is finished. Hang on to that wallpaper, as you may need to use it to patch up areas that get damaged later on. If you have a lot of excess wallpaper, try getting creative with it. You can use it to line the inside of a cabinet or drawers, for example.</p></div>

Q: How can wallpaper be covered without removing it?

• <div><p>Painting over wallpaper is an efficient way to cover it if it&rsquo;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&rsquo;ll likely need two coats of paint to cover the area.</p></div>

Q: How long does peel-and-stick wallpaper last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-peel-and-stick-wallpaper-last.htm">How long peel-and-stick wallpaper lasts</a> depends on a few factors, including the conditions in the room, the quality of the wallpaper, and the wallpaper's application. As a general rule, peel-and-stick wallpaper can last for at least five years, but you may decide to remove it sooner. Under ideal conditions, it can also last for much longer.</p><p>Factors that may shorten the lifespan of peel-and-stick wallpaper include high humidity in a room (such as a bathroom), dirty walls, and low-quality paper.</p></div>

Don is absolutely marvelous. The wallpaper that was in these two bathrooms was hung in the mid-80s, so it was tired, peeling, and after the remodels we did over the last year, in dire need of replacement. Along with the usual stripping of old paper, there were several smallish holes that needs...

I got the reference from Angie's List because he said that he also removed wallpaper. He did an absolutely phenomenal job. It was clean; everything was beautiful when he left. I had him come back to do another coat. I would absolutely use him again in the future.
