Should I wallpaper over old wallpaper?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend wallpapering over older paper. That’s because creating layers of glue can invite bubbling or excess moisture on the wall’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>

Q: How many times can you wallpaper over wallpaper?

• <div><p>Most experts would not recommend hanging wallpaper over existing wallpaper more than twice. Even if the walls are in good condition and primed well, that third layer of wallpaper could cause problems with adhesion. Unless you like bubbling paint and peeling wallpaper as an interior design choice, it&rsquo;s better to remove at least one existing layer before adding any more to a wall. </p></div>

Q: How many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper do I need?

• <div><p>To determine how many rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper you need, measure the square footage of the walls you&rsquo;re covering and divide that by the square footage that each roll covers. Add 10% to 20% of your total square footage to account for pattern matching or damage while installing. </p></div>

Q: Is it a good idea to wallpaper a bathroom?

• <div><p>While you technically can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-put-wallpaper-in-bathroom.htm">put wallpaper in a bathroom</a>, it doesn&rsquo;t mean you should. Bathrooms are high-humidity areas, but if your bathroom is well-ventilated, it can work, especially depending on the placement. If the wallpaper is installed away from direct water contact, like a vanity or accent wall, it will hold up better than if it were directly next to the shower. </p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right materials for finishing my basement walls?

• <div><p>When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. </p><p>Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.</p></div>

Did a good job installing drywall on a new wall. They were able to skim coat and texture 2 wall that had been previously painted over wallpaper with border at the ceiling, and made it look as though there never was any wallpaper there. Amazing!

This was the most fantastic experience. I purchased a home that was completely covered in 20 year old wallpaper. All the advice I had received was to just cover over it because removal would be expensive. I called Tom and the second he walked in the door he had a plan. My walls are...

I think the owner, who gave me the estimate, meant well but put me off right off the bat. While I was telling him what I wanted to do in that bathroom, which was fairly clear in my head, he kept trying to suggest ways that wouldn't involve actual replacement of components, even though I told him...

We purchased our house in Keizer and took possession on July 13th. The house was full of gaudy, flowered wallpaper that best fit an early American home. Needless to say, it was not of our liking. We were given Gordy's number by our real estate agent and told that he does wonders with wallpaper. ...

The only difference was in the final cost being more a little more than provided. But, it was well justified in the difficulty of removing the wallpaper. A joy to work with. Don

Michael removed the wallpaper (I started to remove) in a small bathroom, then prepped a messy wall in another bath and installed new paper in both rooms. I know the prep took longer than he thought, because he had some sheetrock repair, had to skim-coat an entire wall, and at the end I threw...

THe painting crew did an excellant job. However when they bid the wallpaper they bid it by $60.00 an hour. I assumed they would remove the wallpaper with a steamer. Instead they brought in a crew of 3-4 who removed the wallpaper BY HAND!!! It took them considerably longer than what should've...
