"That #1 Painter Lehigh Valley recently refinished my kitchen cabinets, and the results are stunning! I’m beyond pleased with the quality of their work. Jim is personable and easy to talk to, while Larry, his skilled worker, showcases impeccable craftsmanship. He did a fantastic job refinishing the cabinets, making them look brand new. He took great care covering things up and cleaning up nicely each day. The cost was just a third of what cabinet refacing would have been. I highly recommend this company and will definitely be using their services again."

Bathroom remodeling with the finest details. Tiling. Remodeling ,Home improvements and repairs

"I researched Vegh Contracting on this site before asking for an estimate, and it was worth it! The reviews here are true. I am selling my house and needed wallpaper removed in the living room, dining room, stairway, hallway and in one bedroom. It was too much for me to do and I needed to sell my house! I needed a professional who could add me to their schedule soon and still be able to have showings during the work. I picked the right contractor for the job! They came to do the estimate quickly and put me on their schedule within a week. I had to cancel that first start date, but they were very understanding. And when I called again to schedule the work a second time, they fit me right in again without any complaints! They arrived each day on time and left each day after vacuuming and cleaning up all areas. This was so helpful since I had nighttime showings to sell the house. They helped me choose great colors for all of the walls and ceilings after the wallpaper was removed. I found a buyer less than 2 weeks after this work was finished. It looks amazing for a house that's over 100 years old thanks to Vegh Contracting! You will not be disappointed if you use them. Professional, nice, and good work results with fair prices! I will tell everyone I know about them and will use them again!"

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you cannot wallpaper over existing wallpaper. It’s possible to wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but vinyl-coated wallpaper is much more prevalent in homes, so you generally shouldn’t put new wallpaper over existing wallpaper. Adding a layer of wallpaper over vinyl-coated paper will lead to poor adhesion, leaving behind bubbles and imperfections in your wall. Plus, wallpapering over vinyl-coated wallpaper can lead to mold growth, which can be hazardous to your health. It’s usually best to hire a local wallpaper removal service to handle the task to avoid these issues.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it’s not always ideal. If the wallpaper is firmly adhered, has no bubbling or peeling, and isn’t textured, you can try to prime and paint over it. Use an oil-based primer to prevent the adhesive from bleeding through. However, if the paper is damaged or loose, removal is the better long-term solution.

Many peel-and-stick wallpapers aren’t moisture-resistant, so if you install them in high-humidity rooms, mold can grow behind the wallpaper. It’s best to reserve peel-and-stick wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms, and other rooms with lower humidity levels. Not only does this minimize the risk of mold growth, but it also keeps the wallpaper from bubbling or peeling.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

The fastest way to remove wallpaper is usually to spray the paper with a mixture of hot water and either vinegar or dish soap, let it soak in, and then scrape off the wallpaper using a putty knife. Unfortunately, this process can easily damage your walls if you spray too much or scrape too aggressively. Your best bet is to call in a professional wallpaper remover who knows how much to wet the walls and how much pressure to apply when scraping the paper off. They might also use steamers and other tools to speed up the process.
