"Cody Celata did an exceptional job painting my home. Transforming my home into a space where I can truly relax is no small feat, and it's clear that he took the job seriously and put his all into it. His commitment to quality shows in the finished product, which I can only describe as beautiful. Another important factor when it comes to contracting work is timeliness. It's not uncommon for projects to drag on longer than anticipated, causing inconvenience and frustration for the homeowner. However, this was not the case with Celata Contracting. Cody was able to complete the job in a timely manner, which is definitely a mark of professionalism and dedication. Based on my experience, I would recommend Celata Contracting to others, including my friends, family, and even strangers. Celata Contracting are top-notch professionals who take pride in their work and are committed to delivering exceptional results to their clients. Hopefully this review will help others make an informed decision when it comes to their own home improvement projects."

Wallpaper Removal 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. 

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.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

Wallpaper in bathrooms can last anywhere from one to 10 years, depending on what type was used, how well it was installed, and the measures in place to reduce moisture and humidity levels. Opting for a more durable variety and taking all the necessary protective measures will get you closer to that longer lifespan.
